About a Burning Fire, the fourth album from Stockholm's Blindside, landed on February 24, 2004 through Elektra and 3 Points Records, their second go-round with the major label after Silence. Howard Benson produced, and the record comes on big and polished: guitars that swell and crash, choruses aimed at the back of the hall. Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins turns up on "Hooray, It's L.A."
Lead single "All of Us" came with a creepy, lovely video, a young man chasing a woman through a dead forest while his arms stretch after her like Mr. Fantastic's, and Fuse played it plenty. The album outcharted Silence on the Billboard 200, peaking at 39. It was also their last Elektra record: Warner's new owners folded the label into Atlantic, and The Great Depression came out on the band's own.
