When Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's Fuel hit the big time with its 1998 album, SUNBURN, the group represented a prototypical rock & roll success story--hard-working road warriors who, after several years of building a fanatical regional following, made the leap to national headlining status. With NATURAL SELECTION, Fuel takes an important artistic step forward, in the process proving that the combo is much more than simply a faceless hit-making machine. Throughout the disc, the group delivers its trademark heavily chorused blend of metal and alternative rock, but imbues the sound with a palatable sense of deep despondency. Apparently, guitarist/primary songwriter Carl Bell went through one wicked bad breakup, as most of the unrelentingly fatalistic tracks seem to the deal with a love affair gone horribly wrong. "Won't Back Down," is almost emo in its single-minded sense of disillusionment, while "These Things" recalls Roger Waters' nihilistic rants with Pink Floyd (and even comes complete with a tasty David Gilmour-esque guitar solo). A cathartic and serious statement, NATURAL SELECTION shows a band striving to insert some real emotional resonance between the radio-ready power chords.
