Fireball Zone marked the beginning of the second half of Ric Ocasek's solo career. His first two releases, 1982's Beatitude and 1986's This Side of Paradise, were really extensions of Ocasek's work with The Cars; instead of sounding like grand statements made by solo albums, they both sounded like extensions of what The Cars were doing at the time. After the demise of that band in 1987, Ocasek went on hiatus and returned to recording in 1990 with Fireball Zone, his first post-Cars solo album. Surprisingly, however, it isn't as much of a departure as one might imagine. The same elements that made The Cars music so accessible and enjoyable is still all in place, and Ocasek wrote a much stronger batch of songs this time around than was featured on the final Cars collaboration (DOOR TO DOOR). Fireball Zone is also easily the sunniest Ocasek solo collaboration; much of the material is relatively sprightly and colorful, and the disc includes some musical experiments that Ocasek would never have touched when he was still with The Cars.
