4.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff - must have., March 1, 2008
By P. Huffman (Seoul, Korea) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Come Back, Mister Meaner, and Fireball Zone make this CD worth acquiring. A "Best Of" CD of Ocasek would be a monster of great stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not his best but worth getting, September 19, 2003
By YOMAMA (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
The first five songs on this album are totally solid... it goes downhill rapidly from there, but I would still say this is an underrated album and a must-buy for any Cars/Ocasek fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Period Of Creative High For Ric Ocasek, May 5, 2005
By M. Tefer "matt" (MN, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The early 90's was a very creative time-period for Ric Ocasek. Where 1986's This Side Of Paradise (5 years earlier) faired well for him, it was easy to consider it only Ocasek in name since it was really more or less an extension of The Cars earlier work.

Fireball Zone is proof of Ocasek's viability in a post Cars setting. Wisely utilizing David Bowie's Let's Dance producer (and former Chic member) Nile Rodgers, Fireball Zone was one of the best releases of 1991. The tall, thin ex-Cars frontman certainly deserves credit with his trendy borderline - scientific musical expertise. Ric certainly holds his own without reliance upon his old Cars-sound though at the same time, draws from a variety of influences ranging from adult-contemporary to reggae to hard rock.

If anything negative could be said Fireball Zone, it's that it slows down after the first 8 tracks of the album is through, but regardless, it represents a height for Ocasek that would only slightly decline with 1993's Quick Change World.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad CD, but not great.
If you are a hardcore Cars fan, then pick this one up (if you can find it). I wasn't overly impressed but there are bright spots. Read more
