Something Like Human is the second album by American rock band Fuel, released on September 19, 2000, by Epic Records. Something Like Human peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200,<ref name="albumchart">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and was preceded by the single "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)", which peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains their highest-charting song. The album's title comes from the lyric heard on its sixth track, "Prove".<ref name="Hot 100">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

It remains Fuel's best-selling album. One year after its release, the album received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The album also received gold certification by Music Canada (MC) in June 2001.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Likewise with the band's previous album, it received moderate to average critical reception, with praise directed towards lead singer Brett Scallions.

The bonus version of the album includes an acoustic version of "Hemorrhage" and also includes the cover songs "Daniel", originally by Elton John, and "Going to California" by Led Zeppelin. In addition, these were also included on the album's bonus disc, which also contained the track "Walk the Sky" (previously made available on the reissue of the band's previous album), as well as music videos for "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" and "Innocent" when inserted into a DVD player. The album's song "Empty Spaces" was used in the 2002 romance film A Walk to Remember, as well as its accompanying soundtrack.

Critical receptionEdit

Template:Music ratings Ultimately giving the album a "B", Entertainment Weekly said the band "has more chops than a butcher shop. But when it comes to passion, Fuel runs low." The magazine concluded that "luckily, Bret Scallions' excoriating voice makes up for Carl Bell's rather clinical-sounding music."<ref name="EW">Hiltbrand, David (September 22, 2000) "Music Review: 'Something Like Human' Review" Entertainment Weekly.

Early promotional press editions of the album (submitted to magazines, etc. for reviews) included the songs "Sister Mary Innocent" and the Scallions penned "Bruises", which ultimately were left off the final sequence of the album which was released to stores. Neither of these recordings have been released publicly by the band. "Sister Mary Innocent" appeared by alternate name "Sister Mary" on Tommy Lee's 2005 solo album Tommyland: The Ride, with Carl Bell on guitar.
