Crash! Boom! Bang! is Roxette's fifth studio album, released on April 9, 1994.
Though highly successful in Europe and South America, the album was badly marketed by EMI in the United States. A shorter version of the album was made available a few months earlier, as a special deal at the McDonald's restaurant chain, called Favorites from Crash! Boom! Bang!. The Japanese version includes the track "Almost Unreal", which was (for unknown reasons) entitled "It's Almost Unreal". In the UK a vinyl version of the album was also released, despite CDs taking over as the mainstream format.
"Sleeping in My Car", "Crash! Boom! Bang!", "Fireworks", "Run to You" and "Vulnerable" were released as singles.
