They are perfectly capable of adopting the lockstep thrash of Metallica-style metal, but they tend to vary it with comparatively melodic elements in a way that makes them acceptable to both headbangers and fans of less extreme rock. It certainly doesn't hurt that, every few songs, they throw in a ballad that begins with either an acoustic guitar or a lightly strummed electric (or both) and builds to a mid-tempo rocker. The primary example on their second album is first single "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)," which gives lead singer Brett Scallions the opportunity to intone "Don't fall away" in a tone of voice that recalls R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe singing "Fall on Me," and to emote about "love bleeding in my hands." Songwriter Carl Bell's lyrics, full of typical adolescent disillusionment over the vagaries of romance and the world in general, are sketchy, but his bitterness, even if shallow, seems freshly felt, notably on another of those power ballads, the sad "Innocent," and likely will connect with his listeners, after they've been pummeled by the rockers. Two albums in, Fuel still doesn't have much to say, but they are manipulating familiar ingredients in such a way that they may seem to be creating a new flavor, especially to young rock fans. (Something Like Human has multimedia content accessible by computer that includes a short film containing interview, studio, and performance footage as well as Fuel screen savers.) ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

Last Time
Fuel Lyrics
I'm not the first you sucked down
I drank your pleasure slow
Then stumbled out from your veil
Still I've come for you tonight
Choke my faith and stab my pride
And tell myself that
[Chorus]
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time now
I'll bleed for you
Preservation or predation
As I'm reeling I don't know
Crumbled I spill out of your hand
I want to fall
And you see it all
And you'll just laugh when I say
[Chorus]
And everything I feel I know you know
And everything that heals I know you know
And everything that steals I know you know
And everything that kills you know
And tell myself that
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time now

2019 anyone? This song just popped in my head the other day and I felt like revisiting it. Those were the good days 😐
Luke Goonan
awesome song. reminds me (first bit especially) of "deftones - be quiet and drive"
Busdude97
Be quiet and drive. But it does kind of have that sound that everlong does. Honestly this song reminds me a lot of incubus. I guess they were kind of popular around the same time.
Busdude97
I just came here after listening to that!
