Английская Википедия:Fireball Zone
Шаблон:Infobox album Fireball Zone is the third solo album by the American musician Ric Ocasek, frontman and songwriter of the Cars.[1][2] The first single from the 1991 release was "Rockaway".[3]
Production
The album was produced by Nile Rodgers and Ric Ocasek.[4] Its title is a reference to Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow.[5] "Over and Over" and "The Way You Look Tonight" are ballads.[6] In contrast to his Cars days, Ocasek recorded the album live, with his band, rather than part by part.[7]
Critical reception
Шаблон:Album ratings The Ottawa Citizen wrote that "the main thrust of Fireball Zone is to emphasize a funk element within what has always been Ocasek's music style—cold, lean, electronic pop with a tortured bottom end."[8] The Chicago Tribune opined that Fireball Zone "may not be a masterpiece, but it's better than any album by the repetitive Cars, easily one of the most overrated bands of the '80s."[9] The St. Petersburg Times determined that the album finds Ocasek's "rubber-band voice crawling over indistinguishable over-synthesized tunes set to a maddeningly tedious beat."[10]
