Raised Fist is easily one of the best pissed off hardcore bands of all time. These kids were writing music heavier than people that had been musicwriting for decades. Anyone that tries to tell you that 'Dedication' or 'Ignoring the Guidelines' are the better Raised Fist releases than 'Fuel', obviously did not get into this band until said releases. 'Fuel' is easily one of Raised Fist's best releases. The only albums that come close are the releases that came before 'Fuel'. Anything since Fuel has not been as strong. If you like hardcore that will get you in the mood to destroy everything (literally), this album is for you.

This album (Fuel) is a special import which makes it hard to get your hands on unless you are close to a nice distro that caters to rarities. I gave it a 3 out of 5 because even though I found it to be the least impressionable release by the "mighty" Raised Fist. Which dosen't really mean that it's bad at all. The album is long enough to give you a taste of how this band does their thing but the recording and the release overall isn't as good as most of their others. This is a must have for any long time Raised Fist fan but my advise is to get their overall best release "Dedication" as your fist buy from this band. Save "Fuel" until you get more into the band.
