Review:
After the success of Sunburn, the band came back with a strong sophomore effort that both rocked hard, and had its share of ballads (see Bad Day). I was a Fuel fan with the first one, but this album solidified it, combined with the live show on this tour. Wal-Mart had a special edition of the CD with a bonus disc containing songs I didn’t have. Damn record companies screwing the die-hard fans again, and I fell for it, again.

This was a promo put out by Sony before Sunburn was recorded. Three of the four songs made it to Sunburn (albeit in different versions), but the fourth, King For A Day, can only be found here. This one’s pretty rare.

Review:
Sunburn was a slow burn, as Shimmer took a bit to crack the charts, but once it did, it became a rock radio staple. After some prompting from a high school friend, and after I saw them on the side stage at Summersault ’98, I turned into a real fan.

More generic nu-metal that I found a two-track promo for, so I decided to drop the 5 bucks for it to get it used. It’s okay, not great, not terrible.

Review:
While Linkin Park was taking their extended time off after Meteora, Mike Shinoda did the Fort Minor project. This was a full-on hip-hop album, instead of just the hints that he’d drop on the LP records. To my untrained hip-hop ear, it sounds pretty good (i.e., this is hip-hop I can definitely handle, and rather like!). There’s a number of guest stars on here, including John Legend, Jonah from Far, and even Mr. Hahn from LP.

Review:
Interesting tidbit about this tribute album: God Lives Underwater was going to have their version of ‘Stripped’ on this disc, but were forced to change when Rammstein threatened to pull out of the project due to their desire to also cover ‘Stripped’ (which was also the hidden track on their album). Since Rammstein was a bigger name at the time (and would theoretically help to sell more records), they were allowed to keep their (decidedly inferior) version, while GLU opted for ‘Fly On The Windscreen’ instead.
