Review title: An Undeserved Flop.
Product review: "Waking Up With the House on Fire" was released in the fall of 1984, and it flopped so badly that Boy George distanced himself from the album. Unlike the band's last two records, it didn't spawn any Top Ten hits, and it didn't even crack the Top 20. However disappointing the sales were, the loss is ultimately the public's, for this is an overall solid release. There's the catchy, if simplistic, "War Song" (George hated this song in particular), the smoothed-out ballad "Mistake No. 3" (which, coincidentally, was the group's third flop single), and "The War Song," which is classic Culture Club with its melange of pop and lightweight reggae. I'm guessing that this record underperformed because it was released too soon after the huge success of 1983's "Colour by Numbers." But, still, it's a good release that's worthy of a second chance--even if Boy George himself doesn't think so.
