Firecracker picks up right where Loeb's 1995 debut Tails left off, mixing relentlessly upbeat pop numbers with moody ballads tied together with her innate sense for a memorable melody. Firecracker starts particularly strong: A thumping bass line propels the rhythmic "I Do," lush string arrangements swoon behind "Falling in Love," "Truthfully" posesses the same kind of simple pop grace that made her 1994 song "Stay" a huge hit, and "Let's Forget About It" is probably the most instantly catchy song of the bunch. The rest of the record doesn't quite keep up that pace, but overall Firecracker shows Loeb clearly avoiding the "sophomore slump" curse. --Peter Blackstock

4.0 out of 5 stars FIRECRACKER, March 18, 2004

By	Laura (Ontario) - See all my reviews

I don't know of a more beautiful song than Lisa Loeb's 'How'. It is perfect, brilliant and captivating. I love every inch of it. "Firecracker" is Lisa's second album and it does a great job. Some of the songs I don't see fit for this album but most of the songs do the CD justice. I love Lisa's vocals and acoustic sound. The opener 'I Do' is also an amazing song, especially for an opener.

5.0 out of 5 stars curious rose colored rhymes, October 17, 1999

By A Customer

i find that for many of the major and not so major events in my life, there is a song in lisa's repetoir to empathize with me. i'll catch a phrase i accidentally hear and it'll raise my eyebrow. i lent "tails" to a friend who was going through some difficult times, and when he returned it to me finnally, he told me that through this album, no person had ever gotten so deep inside and understood him as i did. i was taken aback by this and gained a lot more admiration for lisa. so thankful was i, that i bought "firecracker" and sat in amazement as she described my life in song. again, i lent lisa's music to my friend, and again, he was thankful beyond words that there was such a thing as someone understanding him...and even more importantly, caring for him. lisa is a very special person, in that her music and her words strike a sensative chord in my life. the ripple effect that it gives is a wonderous thing to watch. for that, i thank her.
