Awesome album!| Posted August 18, 2009
At first I heard Monster and Hero, those are 2 really good songs. Then I heard the preview of the whole album and thought that it wouldn't be as good as Collide or Comatose, but once I heard the whole album I think it is a really good album.
I love the new drummer and her voice. This is a must buy for any Christian rock listener.
Wow!!!!!!!| Posted August 18, 2009
First off, I was completely blown away by the entire album. It will go down as one of my favorites, if not my favorite. I won't talk about hero or monster cause most people have already heard those.
3. Don't Wake Me 8/10- I'm not a huge fan of ballads, but this one gets it done
4. Awake and Alive 10/10- Will probably go down as my favorite song now.
5. One Day Too Late 9/10- Beautiful lyrics once again. John does an amazing job on vocals like usual.
6. It's Not Me, It's You 9.5/10- I'd be too hesitant if I gave it a ten. An aggressive song with lyrics many can connect to.
7. Should've When You Could've 6/10- My only problem with the CD, this songs seems out of place.
8. Believe 8/10- Once again, a ballad does a pretty good job.
9. Forgiven 10/10- Very Beautiful!
10. Sometimes- 9/10- A dark, but accurate depiction of life at times.
11. Never Surrender 10/10- Many people will be touched by this one.
12. Lucy 10/10- I actually cried during this one. It's still very beautiful
I ♥♥♥ Skillet! AND JEN!| Posted August 18, 2009
Okay well if you know anything about christian hard rock, then you know Skillet. They always delivered with massive drums and heavy guitars, and Doggie on vocals lol. Their newest album Awake doesn't dissapoint. With tracks such as "Monster" (That stops halfway thru the song to have Doggie use an octaver on his voice to make him sound like hes growling but not, which is epic.) "Hero"(Which is a good song about redemption and salvation thru Jesus Christ.) its just an awesome album. Not only that, BUT ITS JEN FIRST ALBUM RECORDING! Jen is awesome and adds some heaviness to Skillet (If thats possible lol.) with double kicks and sheer awesomeness lol.
Filled with signature riffs, and all the strings you've come to love this is yet another awesome album from the "Heaviest" band in christian rock.

Awake - seriously great CD!| Posted August 18, 2009
Skillet fans won't be disappointed by Awake!!! This CD keeps you charged up and challenges you to check out your walk with God. There are truths sung out that hit to the heart and makes you realize just how awesome it is to be 'Forgiven' and that He is our everyday 'Hero'!! Challenges us to go and be that person to be a life changer and impact someones life each day that we have been given. Awesome!
Awake!| Posted August 18, 2009
Ok well Skillet has done it again by making another awesome album... between it and comatose i like it a bit better even thought it seems a little more mellow and not as fast pace as other albums they have made. Still my favorite band. Was kinda hoping for some old school skillet on this one but owell still top notch. good job skillet
AWESOME!!!| Posted August 17, 2009
most albums only have the first few songs that are really good and the others are just meaningful songs that are just ok, but this CD has all songs meaningful, deep, and most important awesome!
I can't wait!| Posted July 16, 2009
Dude, listening to the first two singles, my body is shaking with excitement. I almost went into a coma listing to Comatose over and over again, not that it wasn't any good (it was awesome!) but 3 years is too long to wait for new Skillet. The wait is over!!!! Well not really, we have a month to go, but anyways. "Hero" and "Monster" lead the CD off with a bang, and I can't wait to find out if the rest of the album is just as good as the first two singles. EXCITED :)
An album with to many ballads.| Posted August 29, 2009
An album with to many ballads: This album "could've and should've" been somewhat better. There were really only four rockin songs that define skillet in this album: 1."Hero 2. "Monster" 3."Awake and Alive" 4."Somtimes". The rest of the album was mostly just ballads, good balleds but not what expected nor' wanted. Now i'll just wait for some music videos from these guys.
They should said in the name of Jesus| Posted August 29, 2009
I like the cd. sound is awesome, strong lyrics
forgiven is one of my favorites.
The thing is; you should listen the songs in quiet to let them hit your heart then your head after the second intent (listen) lets the party start and try to devour our hungry for God. and the need of Jesus.
