Free Music Notes for Sunburn
Free Music Review: Just Some Good, Simple Music
Hit: 4 Stars
Fuel never really got the credit they deserve, and they probably never will. Perhaps they came out at the wrong time -- too late to be respected in the grunge scene, as legends like Nirvana and Soundgarden had done their time -- and too similar to many other bands of their era, such as Creed, Nickelback, Oleander, etc. But the important thing to remember, despite the fact that they may not be the biggest creative force in rock music, is that they can write some damn good songs, and their official debut, 1998's "Sunburn" is a testament to that.
You all likely remember their biggest hit, "Shimmer," and you can probably count on it being played to death into oblivion, long after we're gone, but other lesser-known singles such as "Sunburn" and the moderately heavier "Bittersweet" and "Jesus Or A Gun" (personal favorite) were just as good. Likewise, "Mary Pretends" and "Ozone" show the band in pure rock form, while "Song For You" probably could have been another hit if they had stuck it out there. Basically, "Sunburn" is a perfect balance between hard-rocking tunes and radio-ready ballads.
It's easy to see why Fuel hit hard with this album. What's not to like about it? It may be a bit cliched and unoriginal, but "Sunburn" is a solid modern rock album. Frontman Brett Scallions (who is now estranged from the band) has a strong, slightly distinct vocalist, and guitarist Carl Bell proves to be a key creative force, pulling dual duty as both axeman and songwriter. I used to consider them a guilty pleasure, but not anymore. Fuel are/were probably one of the more dynamic and inspiring bands of their day. Anyone who loves straight-up, simply good hard-rock, should have their own copy of "Sunburn."
