Something Like Human by Fuel
Something Like Human is an album by Fuel, released in 2000. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 71 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Hemorrhage (In My Hands)”, on 47 lists with a best position of #4.
Something Like Human, Fuel's second album, arrived on Epic on September 19, 2000, and the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania band came out swinging. Carl Bell writes the songs and plays guitar, Brett Scallions sings, Jeff Abercrombie plays bass and Kevin Miller drums, and the formula is post-grunge at full stretch: huge, bruised choruses, guitars that grind and then bloom, and Scallions belting like every word cost him something. Even the critics who shrugged at the rest singled out his voice. The title comes from a line in the sixth track, "Prove".
"Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" led the charge and became the band's highest-charting single, with "Bad Day" and "Innocent" keeping them on the radio. It went double platinum within a year and remains their biggest seller, "Empty Spaces" later turned up in A Walk to Remember, and bonus editions added covers of Elton John's "Daniel" and Led Zeppelin's "Going to California".
