Fireball Zone marked the beginning of the second half of Ric Ocasek's solo career. His first two releases, 1983'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. This was especially true of the latter album, which even featured a handful of hit singles that were more popular than any that The Cars would score in the remainder of their career. After the demise of that band in 1987, Ocasek.

Fireball Zone Lyrics. They made you do it, but you did not care Oh, they made you do it, ooh, you teased your hair And they asked you why, but you did not know Oh, they made you cry, but that didn't show. Going through commotion Slipping on the stepping stone, uh-huh You come to the conclusion You're playing in the fireball zone Yeah, fireball zone. They made you do it, that's what you say Oh, they made you do it, a little night to play Oh, they made you swallow, and you came around Oh, it made you hollow, but you stood your ground.

As a result, FIREBALL ZONE sounds more like Ric guesting on someone else's generic corporate-rock album than the Cars songwriter on his own. "Come Back" and "They Tried" stand out agreeably ; "Flowers of Evil" sounds more like Nile than Ric, but in a good way. "Over and Over" is a nice-sounding power-ballad, if lacking in noticeable lyrical content. 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. 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.
