The Second Great Awakening is the second studio album by the stoner rock band Fireball Ministry, released in 2003 by Nuclear Blast Records.
Rock Hard gave an 8 out of 10 score, opining that "the band skillfully varies riffs with a stoner rock flair and extremely catchy melodies".[1][2] Metal.de gave the same score, stating that the album contained "catchy hooks, infectious grooves, powerful chords, and memorable melodies" and only "minor lapses".[3] Visions also gave an 8, albeit out of a possible 12, commending the "riff-heavy, and doom-laden stoner rock" and also "the comic-style artwork".[4]
Powermetal.de also recommended the album and its "stoner anthems", preferably while driving a car on "Autobahn, ideally with at least an hour's drive planned". The instrumentation and production were both solid, and the singer "smooth, charismatic, and expressive".[5]
The reviewer of Scream Magazine found a couple of good riffs, but for the most, the songs were "a little too anonymous" and the band therefore "not quite mature".[6]
