Room on Fire is the second studio album by American rock band the Strokes, released on October 28, 2003 by RCA Records. The album features the return of producer Gordon Raphael from Is This It and consists of a slightly smoother sound than its predecessor; . the bass guitar is less present except for several select moments when it becomes the focal point of the song. Its title is drawn from a lyric in "Reptilia": "The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair.

Instead, Room on Fire is eleven songs sharing DNA with its predecessor, a follow-up of more sleepy, contagious mono-pop that doesn't sound diligently recorded so much as yawned out. This is far from a bad thing, largely because The Strokes seem almost pathologically unable to write a song that isn't immediately catchy

This album is dedicated to the memory of Aaron Wilkinson. Used with permission and courtesy of Zoe Phillips.

With Room on Fire, the Strokes found a balance that kept their sound both appealing and rewarding. This leads me to my original point: Room on Fire is the Strokes best work. i find the songs to be much more memorable than on the debut, and I think there’s a successful mix of being able to articulate what Casablancas is singing about with the guitar riffs that should be, and often are, pushed to the forefront. Is This It will always hold the title as the Strokes magnum opus, as its importance cannot be understated, but Room on Fire is where the Strokes peaked.

I bought (cheaply) a sealed copy of this in 2014 which matches the matrix for this entry. I'm going to assume it's been repressed several times since 2003..no way is mine 13 years old.
