'''''Room on Fire''''' is the second studio album by American [[Rock music|rock]] band [[the Strokes]], released on October 21, 2003, through [[RCA Records]].<ref>{{Citation |title=The Strokes - Room on Fire Album Reviews, Songs & More {{!}} AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/room-on-fire-mw0000693088 |access-date=2023-11-05 |language=en}}</ref> Its title is derived from a lyric in the song "[[Reptilia (song)|Reptilia]]". The album received positive reviews upon its release and reached number four on the [[Billboard 200|US ''Billboard'' 200]], where it went on to sell 597,000 units by October 2006,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.stereogum.com/1850735/first-impressions-of-earth-turns-10/franchises/the-anniversary/|title = First Impressions of Earth Turns 10|date = January 4, 2016}}</ref> earning a [[gold album|gold]] certification from the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA). It also reached number two on the [[UK Albums Chart]]. Three [[Single (music)|singles]] were released from the album: "[[12:51 (The Strokes song)|12:51]]", "[[Reptilia (song)|Reptilia]]", and "[[The End Has No End]]".

==Recording==
Immediately after touring for their debut album ''[[Is This It]]'', the Strokes returned to the studio. They hired [[Radiohead]] producer [[Nigel Godrich]], but fired him when, according to the band, their work together proved "soulless".<ref name="CBC">{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/everything-in-its-right-place-1.587693|title=Everything in Its Right Place|last=McKinnon|first=Matthew|date=24 July 2006|access-date=15 December 2013|publisher=[[CBC News]]}}</ref> Godrich said of the failed collaboration: "The problem there was that me and [singer [[Julian Casablancas]]] are just too similar, we're both control freaks. He wanted to do it his way, I wanted to do it my way, and obviously that's the point of me being there. And I'm saying 'Well, why am I here if you're not prepared to try and do it the way I want to do it?' We got on great, it was just one of those laughable things where it just doesn't work. I wanted them to change, and they didn't."<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4137177|title=From The Basement On A Television: DiS talks to Nigel Godrich|work=DrownedInSound|access-date=2018-05-21|language=en|archive-date=2018-05-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180521191702/http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4137177|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Those sessions were ultimately scrapped and the band returned to their original producer, [[Gordon Raphael]]. The Strokes had exactly three months of studio time left to record the album. Guitarist [[Nick Valensi]] stated that "the album would've ended up a lot better if we'd had another couple of weeks."<ref name="p4k">Jonathan Garrett (7 March 2011).

The review also stated that "if you want comfort and clarity, you're definitely in the wrong room. This record was built for thrills and speed."<ref name="RS" /> Dan Tallis of [[BBC Music]] gave it a favorable review and said, "Bands should think themselves lucky to achieve such heights just once in their careers. However, they've done all they could have done. They've made ''Is This It'' part two. It's more of the same plus extras.

Ben Thompson of ''[[The Observer]]'' gave it all five stars and said, "This is a feeling that can be inspired only by people making the absolute most of an opportunity to communicate: cutting through all the rubbish that surrounds them to make a clear and memorable artistic statement.

Not all reviews were positive, however.

=== Reappraisal ===
In later years, ''Room on Fire'' has received critical acclaim and is regarded by fans as one of the Strokes' best albums. In 2021, ''Pitchfork'' included ''Room on Fire'' on its list of album review scores they "would change if they could", upgrading its score from 8.0 to 9.2 out of 10, though they stated this would not change the actual score. Lane Brown of ''Pitchfork'' praised it as a "different, better album with major improvements over its predecessor". Scoring a 0.1 bonus point more than ''Is This It'', ''Room on Fire'' is commended in marking confident progress and "at least partially thwarting rock history's most inevitable backlash."<ref name="Pitchfork Reviews: Rescored">{{Cite web|date=2021-10-05|title=Pitchfork Reviews: Rescored|url=https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/pitchfork-reviews-rescored/|access-date=2021-10-06|website=Pitchfork|language=en-US}}</ref>
