Engerica - The Smell - CD (2004)

Labels: Sanctuary
Review by: Andy Malcolm

Oh my lord. This is horrific. It is the sound of a band that heard Queens of the Stone Age and

decided to make a dire derivative with a ridiculous amount of annoying bits. Fucking hell. If this came on at the

Waterfront it would make me want to punch my dance partner (Simon) in the face. It has the

shittiest rap bits and lyrics like “bogey eater, here comes peter”. Seriously. The second song is a

fast and melodic hardcore effort with terrible shouted vocals. Goodness me. Luckily it is over

pretty sharpish.

All copies of this record should be fed to people who can eat plastic, just so that it can

physically become the dung that it musically is. “the Smell”? Understatement of the year, this

downright stinks so bad that after I stopped playing it I had to evacuate the whole of East Anglia

because we were all at threat of being intoxicated by it. Call in the defumigaters, we got a stench

going on! At least I can sell this on Amazon.
