Something Like Human is the second full-length album by the band Fuel released in 2000. Something Like Human reached #17 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200, and featured their first U.S. Top 40 hit with "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" which reached #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.[1]

The album was awarded double-platinum status (two million units sold) by the RIAA on September 25, 2001.[2] To date, Something Like Human is the band's best selling record.

The bonus version of the disc includes an acoustic version of the aforementioned song. The bonus version also includes the cover songs "Daniel", originally by Elton John, and "Going to California" by Led Zeppelin.

Some editions had a bonus disc instead of just bonus tracks. The Bonus disc had the three bonus tracks plus "Walk the Sky", a bonus song from Sunburn. This disc also had multimedia content which included music videos for "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" and "Innocent"
