Down Inside of You-9/10 Another great rock anthem that contains a dark side that shows some new Fuel baby!

Million Miles-9/10 I love this song, it starts so slow and Scallions puts a drawl on the lyrics to make it sound so awesome!

Falls On Me-10/10 Obviously best song on CD, i mean thats why it was the first single.

These Things-8/10 Brings back some flare from previous bands and really helps this record along and proves to be one of the better songs, maybe not at firt listen, but it catches on.

Won't Back Down-8/10 From Daredevil which makes it just totally nasty(in a good way) but I would give 9/10 but compared to others on this album it only deserves 8/10.

Running Away-10/10 Awesome traditonal Fuel, and thats fine by me.

Most of All-10/10 My favorite surprise single on the album that has to be the second best song easily.

Getting Thru?-5/10 Only bad song, its kind ahard to get thru it.

Die Like This-10/10 Third best song on the CD, yeah baby!

Luck-9/10 I love the distroted voice, makes this rather subtle song obtain a real BANG!

Days With You-9/10 Ballad all the way, bring it on, it comes to be probably the sixth best song on CD which is good for a CD full of awesome songs!

This new CD by Fuel conquers all previous records and it really rcoks, I mena there is only one bad song on the whole CD and even then it isn't as bad as half the songs that are out there we are forced to listen to.

The logic that so many people are using to bash this album........well it frankly sucks. In fact logic really isn't a good word for it. And since when do we use logic to judge music anyway? Music is art. Right?
First of all....this is just really good, American rock n roll. So ya'll can just get over it. I mean, cry me a freakin' river. And then build a bridge and get a clue. I honestly wonder if half of you Fuel naysayers have even listened to the album before. Because your comments don't line up with the copy of "Natural Selection" that I own. I bought mine from Wal-Mart.....not sure where you all got your copies from.
Oh, and in case somebody missed it, i've been informed by one of the brilliant music critics on your favorite Amazon.com that the songs "Falls on Me" and "Won't Back Down" sound exactly the same. WOW.........and thats all i have to say about that. Those must not be the same songs that are on my copy of the CD.
Anyway....to the music, which I have actually listened to several times. Imagine that! Song by song:
1. Quarter (Good, hard rocker, real cool piano)
2. Down Inside of You (Hmmm, don't think the chorus is boring)
3. Million Miles (Good stuff)
4. Falls On Me (First single off the album, awesome song)
5. These Things (Brooding, almost depressing, great guitar solo from Mr. Bell)
6. Won't Back Down (This is the first song I heard from this album, Fuel rocks out [hmmm.... don't know about the whole remix thing though])
7. Running Away (Great lyrics to this song about an inner struggle that the songwriter's having, awesome music, so what if it sounds a little 80s? Boo hoo people)
8. Most of All (Simple musically, but very good nonetheless)
9. Getting Thru (Good hard rock, but probably my least favorite on the album)
10. Die Like This (I love this song, Brett sings his heart out, Carl Bell is just a darn good song writer)
11. Luck (Cool, distorted voice thingy goin' on, good song written by Mr. Scallions himself)
12. Days With You (Good way to end the album)

SO yeah, this is a good album. Plain and simple. Not a whole lot not to like here. Oh and one more thing: all you people who are saying this is not Fuel......if you don't mind me asking, if its not Fuel, then who in the world is it?
Ah yes, and for the ignorant character who seems to think the album cover looks like someone about to get their finger pulled...you might want to do some research on a guy by the name of Michelangelo. Good call!! My roomie here at college would like to use a line from the movie "Toy Story" to describe your utter ignorance: "You uncultured swine"


A must have for listeners, a need to have for guitarists   October 31, 2003

Wow is all I can say. I was in a music store and just so happened to stumble upon this. I've seen Fuel live 3 times before, and have heard their last album Something Like Human and I have lots of respect for the band. Prior to this album, I liked them, but did not consider them one of my favorite bands. This album has definitely put a different perspective. This album is raw and it just rocks! I've had it for almost one week and I can't put it down. I have a 6 disc changer, but I've put it on repeat for this disc. I just can't stop listening to it. Finally, a true guitarist! One that actually plays solos! The solos are great, the rythem on the guitar is wonderful, love the powerful distortion, and the drums give such a powerful beat. This IS A TRUE ROCK CD. Brett's vocals can get annoying at times, and it would be better if he sang the lyrics a bit more clearer. But still fits right in. The band blends beautifully together. If you love rock, you will love this. I've listened to other bands that you have to skip tracks on (Creed for example), and listened to other bands that have tracks that sound the same (Godsmack for exmample). This CD will keep you interested throughout and the variety is there too! No 2 songs sound the same at all. Well colaberated! It would have been nice for all the members to write the songs together, but still one of my best CD out of my collection. GET IT!

Great album! Not as hard as their other 2 albums but I think they are a lot darker. Brett's voice is awesome, and Carl Bells lirics are extrordinary! Here we go...

1. QUARTER: Great opener for this album. Opens with a nice dark tone. Different style of rock.

2. DOWN INSIDE OF YOU: I was amazed by the great chorus, with great melody. Could be a single but there are other songs that will become singles before this one.

3. MILLION MILES: Starts traveling through a lightful life and becomes a ballady protest.

4. FALLS ON ME: Great love song!

5. THESE THINGS: Pink Floyd style, piano inpirational ballad.

6. WON'T BACK DOWN (BRING YOU HELL REMIX): They messed up the equalization on this song form the Daredevil soundtrack but still that strong song we all heard before.

7. RUNNING AWAY: 80's style love song with great guitar techniques.

8. MOST OF ALL: Punkish ballad with strong melodic vocals.

9. GETTING THRU?: Strong hard bitter rock song. I love it!

10. DIE LIKE THIS: Great song, definetly a single!

11. LUCK: Wierd like distortionized song, but great passion being sung in that song.

12. DAYS WIHT YOU: Brings you back to the strength on SUNBURN'S opener "Untitled" and just sounds the the Fuel we've always known.

Now I'm just looking forward to the great singles! (Hopefully: Die Like This, Million Miles, and Quarter!)
