Free (Bonfire album)
Free is the ninth album by German band Bonfire. It was released in 2003 by Sony/BMG/LZ Records and features music that leans more towards the once popular alternative sound. The album had two covers, one for German outlet and another for worldwide distribution. The German cover had a brown wall background while the other one was white. The band was highly criticized by their loyal fans as well as several critics for the material. Reaction overall from fans was less than favourable. The song "September On My Mind" is about the 9-11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. The reason Friends has such a long time frame is due to a large space after the song that was followed by band members Claus Lessmann and Hans Ziller making recordings of the album's songs. The Album hits the Official German Media Control Top 100 Album Charts.
