Firecracker picks up right where Loeb's 1995 debut Tails left off, mixing relentlessly upbeat pop numbers with moody ballads tied together with her innate sense for a memorable melody. Firecracker starts particularly strong: A thumping bass line propels the rhythmic "I Do," lush string arrangements swoon behind "Falling in Love," "Truthfully" posesses the same kind of simple pop grace that made her 1994 song "Stay" a huge hit, and "Let's Forget About It" is probably the most instantly catchy song of the bunch. The rest of the record doesn't quite keep up that pace, but overall Firecracker shows Loeb clearly avoiding the "sophomore slump" curse. --Peter Blackstock

I don't know of a more beautiful song than Lisa Loeb's 'How'. It is perfect, brilliant and captivating. I love every inch of it. "Firecracker" is Lisa's second album and it does a great job. Some of the songs I don't see fit for this album but most of the songs do the CD justice. I love Lisa's vocals and acoustic sound. The opener 'I Do' is also an amazing song, especially for an opener.

i find that for many of the major and not so major events in my life, there is a song in lisa's repetoir to empathize with me. i'll catch a phrase i accidentally hear and it'll raise my eyebrow. i lent "tails" to a friend who was going through some difficult times, and when he returned it to me finnally, he told me that through this album, no person had ever gotten so deep inside and understood him as i did. i was taken aback by this and gained a lot more admiration for lisa. so thankful was i, that i bought "firecracker" and sat in amazement as she described my life in song. again, i lent lisa's music to my friend, and again, he was thankful beyond words that there was such a thing as someone understanding him...and even more importantly, caring for him. lisa is a very special person, in that her music and her words strike a sensative chord in my life. the ripple effect that it gives is a wonderous thing to watch. for that, i thank her.

This is one of those rare cd's that can be listened to the whole way through without skipping any songs. I can honestly say that I have had this cd for a long time...and I have never gotten sick of it. It has just the right mixture of uplifting, meaningful, and thoughtful songs. It is very difficult to pick my top five songs on Firecracker, but they would have to be 1) Furious Rose 2)Jake 3) Wishing Heart 4)Falling in Love 5)How
I would suggest this to anyone who wants a diverse record filled with songs to lift your spirits or make you think.
oh gosh!! its the best! 10 stars June 12, 1999

i promise you if you buy this and tails-you will like everysingle song!! this album is not as intimate as tails-and not exactly taking the folk/rock style she had then-, is still i would have to say the 2nd greatest album i've known. (the first is tails) guise-lisa loen truly knows how to catch your ear and her lyrics make you really think. you never wanna stop listening to it. "Frecracker," "Truthfully," "Let's forget about it," "FURIOUS ROSE!" and especially "I do." rock!!!!!!!! the only song on this album (in fact the only song out of all of her songs that was a bit of a let down was 'jake') but buy this album, its the best....and remember to get tails too. p.s. does anyone know if shes writing a new album?
