2nd Engine - Smashed To Smitherens

Review by Student Volunteers RMHFW

2nd Engine's latest release, Smashed To Smitherens, is a hard-hitting rock album that leaves a lasting impression on its listeners. The band's unique sound blends heavy guitar riffs with catchy melodies and powerful vocals, creating a sound that is both familiar and new.

The album opens with the explosive track "Crash," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The heavy guitar riffs and driving drums are matched by the intense vocals, making for a powerful start to the record. From there, the album continues to deliver hard-hitting tracks like "Breakdown" and "Wreckage," which showcase the band's ability to create memorable hooks and infectious choruses.

While the album is certainly heavy, it's not without its softer moments. Tracks like "Fade Away" and "Broken" showcase the band's ability to write emotional ballads that are just as powerful as their heavier counterparts. The album's closer, "Rebuild," is a perfect example of this, with its soaring chorus and heartfelt lyrics.
