Fuel's latest album will debut at #45 on the Billboard Charts this week with just over 14,000 copies sold. It seems Epic non-promotional machine was at work again. I purchased the CD and thought it was pretty good, particuarly the first 5 songs on the album. I liked the first single Wasted Time quite a bit, but Epic didn't put any money behind the song and it quickly fell from the charts.

I see a lot of similarities of Epic's handling of "Angels and Devils" and their dismissive attitude of "Songs from Black Mountain." It just sucks to know that huge labels totally control what gets played and what bands will gain success. It is really sad.
