So we've had the original Fuel with both Brett and Carl, then we had the incarnation of Fuel that included Carl but not Brett, and now we have the incarnation that includes Brett and not Carl. Carl without Brett was pretty mehh, but I have a hard time believing that Fuel without Carl is going to feel anything like Fuel as he was their principal song writer. But if World Fire Brigade is any indicator of where Brett may wanna take this project, then I'd be intrigued to hear this for sure.

Hoping for another "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" ...Stop thinking of your clever insult now, I know it isn't going to happen  |

I listened to "Million Miles" earlier today and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who remembers that song.

Wow that was awesome! The verses and the riff are epic and make up for the average chorus. Overall I actually prefer it to their last 2 lead singles, "Won't Back Down" and "Wasted Time" |

I think "Yeah!" is ATROCIOUS. I hope "Soul To Preach To" is way better than that shit.
And "Won't Back Down" was not the lead single off 'Natural Selection'. "Falls On Me" was. "Won't Back Down" was a soundtrack single many months before 'Natural Selection' was released and then "Won't Back Down" was included on the album.

Some fool who didn't know how to work Wikipedia has a song called "I Can See the Sun" with an official Hot 100 peak of "Puppet Strings". Just throwing that out here.

Here it is:
Riff is awesome, verses are alright, pre-chorus could be better, chorus is epic, B+ grade. Better return than I expected.

Well it's no "Wasted Time", but it's not that bad.

I think this is pretty good too. I'm gonna agree with Cody's B+ grade, but disagree by saying I thought the bluegrass-influenced verses were among the best parts of the song and disagree with Pipa in saying this absolutely destroys "Wasted Time" (because I hate that song). One thing that I think we can all agree on: this is way better than that preview track "Yeah!" was.
I hope it does well!

Not bad. I think it'll have to grow on me. Not immediate awesome as a lot of their material from way back, but I can't complain too much about it.

Is it me or does this sound like Saliva to me? Idk, I think post-grunge is outdated and while I love Fuel's old stuff, I'm just not into that style anymore.

This is growing stronger and stronger for me with every listen. This might be my favourite song that's more active than alternative since "There's No Going Back". That several-month gap just shows how weak the active format is right now, but hopefully this can at least go top 40 there.

Maybe they can even work a mid 20s peak on Alternative too.

This isn't too bad. Perhaps the return of Brett Scallions can get people interested in them again. Hopefully it can perform decently on both formats.

Maybe they can even work a mid 20s peak on Alternative too. Name any amount of money no matter how absurdly large and I will bet against you with no fear. I think Fuel jus needs to hope they can pull mid 20s on active. So much as a top 50 appearance on alternative would be a shocker. |
