Room on Fire is the second studio album by American rock band the Strokes, released on October 28, 2003, through RCA Records. Its title is drawn from a lyric in `Reptilia`: `The room is on fire as she`s fixing her hair.`

Room on Fire received positive reviews upon its release, and reached number four on the US Billboard 200 (where it went on to sell 597,000 units by October 2006[3] and was certified gold) and number two on the UK Albums Chart. Three singles were released from the album: `12:51`, `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 their work together, according to the band, proved `soulless`.[4] 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.`[5]

Those sessions were ultimately scrapped and the band returned to their original producer, Gordon Raphael. The Strokes had exactly only three months of studio time 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.`[6]
