Tracks 1 and 2 lost me, and then the intro to track 3, “Synthetic” exploded out of the speakers. And they got me out of rut.Ī lot of the songs have that hard core style of vocals that Slipknot and Mudvayne brought to the table, with some of the electronics that Disturbed brought and some good ole head banging. On the special edition, there are two cover tracks in “Going To California” from Led Zep, which Fuel nails and “Daniel” from Elton John and I can hear how the acoustic riffs for “Patience” came about.Ī bass player from the band I was in, recommended Spineshank to me. We are giving it all away for free, while these companies make billions selling it to advertisers. Hell, we didn’t even get bought out to hand over our online activities to Google, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook and all the rest. Never were we told we’d be bought and sold, when we were innocent And as we got older, we got smacked down by life, society and the rat race and the grind of making a living to keep the lights on. Youth doesn’t bring wisdom and we rarely practiced what we wanted our future selves to be like. Never armed our souls for what the future would hold / when we were innocent Reagan and other leaders in the 80’s told our parents they need two cars in the driveway and investment properties and suddenly, people started to outdo each other with possessions. That sombre clean tone electric strumming gets me interested and the lyrics.Īll of us sinners are reporting for duty Mr Satan, because our innocent smiles from young are replaced with lies and hidden truths and some backstabbing along the way, because that kind of shit happened to us before, so we need to pay those people back.Īll our lives get complicated / search for pleasures overrated The song “Prove” feels like it came from a Gunners album and it gave the album its title with its lyrics and “Easy” is probably the best song that Stone Temple Pilots didn’t write. “Slammed the door and said, sorry, I’ve had a bad day again”Īnd after 5 Carl Bell penned tracks, I’m on the floor. It’s a ballad, with that C-Am-F-G chord progression (in a different key for this song). Listen to it, it wouldn’t be out of place on a GnR record. Then “Scar” kicks in and the “Scar” intro riff has got groove and sleaze. And its cuts like this that bridged the gap between the 80’s hard rock scene and the 90’s grunge scene. “Empty Spaces” is a metal like cut with a grunge like Chorus. Just listen to the verse arpeggios and you’ll know what I mean. “Haemorrhage (In My Hands)” is an 80’s rock song all dolled up for the 2000’s. The “Last Time” kicks it off with a memorable Chorus melody and guitar riff. On this album, 9 of the songs are just written by Carl Bell and two of em are Bell and Scallions co-writes. Brett Scallions on vocals, Jeff Abercrombie on bass and Kevin Millar on drums. In case you don’t know who Fuel are, its Carl Bell on guitar. It did great business in sales, double platinum in the U.S and Gold in Canada. “Something Like Human” is the second album, released on Epic Records. Listening to this album I just assumed they would be doing the rounds 20 years later. I don’t know why they still aren’t around. Like Matchbox 20, Fuel became my fix for hard rock music.
