Fire (Electric Six Album)

Fire (Electric Six album)

Fire is the debut album of Electric Six, released in 2003.

The album received generally positive critical reviews. Rolling Stone called the album "the summer's most brilliantly demented party record" and Blender hailed the music as "convincingly ferocious". Detractors of the album included Mike Baker of Splendid, who called the band " novelty act, a misfire and a waste of time", and the reviewer for Uncut, who said that the album contains "little charm and less real humour".

Three singles were released from the album: "Danger! High Voltage", which reached #10 in the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart and #2 in the UK Singles Chart; "Gay Bar", which reached #5 in the UK Singles Chart; and "Dance Commander", which reached #40 in the UK Singles Chart.

Fire went gold in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2003. Later that year, the album was re-released with a bonus DVD containing the music videos for all three singles from the album.
