Sven Väth - Fire

In my opinion "Fire" is really the weakest of Sven Väths albums so far. The tracks are not such bad but they don't fit together and the record suffers from a lack of concept and seems to be a loveless compilation. I think many tracks like "Shock Ralley" or the title track "Fire" are too boring and can't reach the classics on the former releases, I would expect such tunes on 12" but not at an artist album. The single "Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus", a Serge Gainsbourg cover featuring Miss Kittin, is very funny, but it definitly don't fits to the rest of the tracks. Tracks like "Cala Llonga" or "Heisse Scheibe" are not bad but not really exciting too.
I sadly have to say that there is no crap on this record but also no highlights like I expect from releases of this man.

From the three Sven Väth albums I currently own ("An Accident in Paradise", "Retrospective 1990-97", and this one), "Fire" would be the least interesting to me. I bought this mainly because of the first two tracks, which are quite good. Nevertheless, unlike the title suggests, even those tracks feel rather "cold" to me.
