As the World Burns is the first studio album by American hip hop group Arsonists. It was released on Matador Records in 1999.
Jordan N. Mamone of CMJ New Music Report said: "The mood and the beats can get a little outlandish, but generally, the minor-key strings and time-capsule scratches admirably push hip-hop into the future while taking cues from its past."
In 2015, it ranked at number 72 on Fact's "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.
