Critic Reviews
Show All-
Metal Temple
I have to say that he really works with the band. This album was a great listen and reassured me that a new vocalist doesn't mean the whole band will change
-
Blabbermouth
Stated simply, for their fans only. Marshall Dutton is an easy fit for the band as he sticks to mid-range
-
All Music
Sometimes, bland is better than sheer ugliness.
-
New Noise Magazine
Blue collar songs are tailor fit to the working class crowd who want some feeling in their rock.
-
Cryptic Rock
Just under forty minutes of great Rock music that varies in pace and emotional intensity.
-
Gav the Gothic
It’s easy on the ears and accessible listening.
-
Leon TK
A set of classic-style hard rock tracks, When The Smoke Clears does the job.
-
Ultimate Guitar
I guess I have to give Hinder a little bit of leeway - they just had to change out vocalists.
-
Stereo Killer
The only reason I could see for someone listening to this record is if they're already a Hinder fan.
-
Mind Equals Blown
Their current sound is certainly different than what was established with their original singer.
-
Melodic
The band has lost a lot of their edge and think that they have become much too contemporary in their sound.

It's a great surprise. When the Smoke Clears is an excellent guitar album.
-
Rock ans Roll Creations
Run the gamut from rowdy rock to subtle country influence, to memorable pop hooks, all of which retain the DNA-distinct spirit of Hinder
-
Shout It Louder
This is truly a fantastic release from the bands! And one that you are most definitely going want to get your hands on.
-
Sputnik Music
This Oklahoma City fivesome, who are collectively dedicated to bringing back the good old decadent days when sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll weren't dirty words, but a way of life.
-
KK's Music Box
This release is not Hinder in any way, shape, or form.
-
Heavy Metal ICU
Providing a collection of tunes that would hold up to the casual rock fans.
-
Rock Show Critic
It’s a shame now that the smoke has cleared I see a band still in search for that missing ingredient.
-
Ultimate Guitar
But this one isn't one of my favorites. My favorite tracks on the album would be "I Need Another Drink" and "Dead to Me."
-
Queens Library
When the Smoke Clears as evidence that they've never found a Sunset Strip sound they've disliked. Hinder has created music with no boundaries.
-
Grande Rock
The album is just Hinder. Meaningless, plastic modern pop-rock tracks with giggly melodies meant for the “airwaves”
-
Slacker
Dutton's studio-ready chops help make Hinder seem appealing.
-
Screamer Magazine
Firing on all cylinders with a new frontman, Hinder likely has quite a few hits in the making.

Hinder out of gas with 'Smoke'
