Fuel's best The acoustic version of hemorrage is better than the rock version. This album is definitly fuel's best.
Something like Fuel
The bonus tracks are not quite as "fuel-y" as the body of the CD. If you are trying to decide whether to buy the original release of Something Like Human or this bonus version, let me just say that the songs that didn't make the cut last time didn't for a reason. All of them are acoustical and slow, which is not the sound this reviewer particularly likes out of the gruff vocals. Still, I cannot speak for everyone, I just caution those interested to listen to samples of the final three tracks if you're so scrapped for cash that the extra couple dollars to buy this bonus version is an issue. Otherwise, my general opinion is the more music the better and the bonus tracks are still decent songs, so I still heartily recommend this CD for fans.
The best of Fuel!
If you like hard rock music with some ballads thrown in, then this is the perfect album for you. If your a Fuel fan, you must have this record. Great song-writting by a superb band.
Acoustic "Fuel" is way better
A few gems include "Innocent," "Bad Day," and "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)", especially the acoustic version for the latter (Track 13). Sounds a bit too much like a generic band at times to be entirely worthy of purchase. Overall this album seems more loud and obnoxious than purely good. Sometimes I forgot I was listening to music, thinking "what is all this noise?" Perhaps just get your hands on track 13, and maybe a few of the singles, and you'll be all set.
Fuel... Excellent!
Fuel is the bomb. I really enjoy this album. I got to hear them play live once. Very cool stuff. This album has about five great songs on it. Definitely worth a purchase. If you like their style definitely pick up Natural Selection as well. You will be significantly satisfied.
