Massive rock riffs, swirling drums, monstrous hooks and undeniably catchy choruses. Hints of progressive rock mixed in with modern alternative flourishes and touches of classical influence as swelling strings intersect with sonic adrenaline rushes. It's indeed a fusion unlike any other, marking the latest chapter in the continuous evolution of Skillet, whose moniker couldn't be more fitting come its explosive release Comatose.
Coupled with 200 dates a year on the road, this foursome is one of the hardest working, heaviest rocking, boldly witnessing and most broadly appealing acts of its generation. Comatose has several examples of Skillet flexing its experimental muscles while keeping true to their original calling. The first single "Rebirthing" is a complex but accessible amalgamation of piercing strings, jarring guitars, humongous power chords and neck snapping reactions calling all to come alive in Christ. In sharp contrast, but equally compelling are enormous anthems like "The Last Night," "Say Goodbye" and "Yours to Hold," all oozing with ethereal orchestration and insanely infectious sing-a-long potential.
"The funny thing about Jesus is that He wasn't just all talk, but as much or more about relationships and communicating to people in a relatable way, as He was solely preaching to them. I'm very passionate about evangelism, but love begets evangelism and we want people to know we care about their needs in a practical way." - John Cooper, Lead Vocalist - SKILLET
Naming the record Comatose further cements those expressions, hoping to rev up listeners to break beyond the mundane, get on track with their relationships (here on earth and with the Creator), and charge forward with hope.

I was always hearing some of skillet's older songs on the radio, and always thought that they were just ok. But when i heard rebirthing played, i was blown away! I went to their myspace, checked them out, and then got thier cd!!! I love it!!! It's so amazing!!! The mix of hardcore rock w/screaming and them some slower songs w/piano, its an amzing mix of music that pulls you in! Oh, and go see them in concert, they're amazing!!!

I really like this CD. This album helped me get into hard rock. From beginning to end I enjoyed every second listening to it.
Skillet's best yet| Posted August 13, 2007
This album comes in a long line of albums, however this album is my favorite one yet. It is strong both musically and lyrically, yet the production is the key aspect for me. It enhances this album beautifully and avoids songs that sound shallow and similar. Skillet can deliver both great rock songs and moving anthems. This album is definitely worth listening to and purchasing!

I listen to this CD at least once a day. Its rock foundation in combination with it's powerful lyrics is really awesome. This music helps me evaluate my Christian life and allows me to still listen to good, Christian-based rock music. I love rock and I grew up on it and this music allows me to share it with my unsaved friends that are also into rock music and give them something godly to listen to.
