Once again, Skillet has not ceased to impress| Posted August 28, 2009
I bought this record with high hopes of their hard-music talent; I was not disappointed. Skillet has followed-up their popular cd, Comatose, with Awake, a powerful reminder that Christ is forever with us and we need not fear our flesh for He has covered all our sins.
I quite enjoyed this new attachment in Skillet's archive. I highly recommend this record if you liked their previous work, Comatose.
God bless Skillet!!!
Best Album of the Year| Posted August 27, 2009
This has been a long await album and it does not disappoint.
Starting out with the singles Hero and Monster the album really starts out on a fast start. Other favorite songs of mine that are "alive and awake" and "sometimes". Both are hard in your face rock and roll songs that get the blood pumping. I purchased the deluxe edition on iTunes and got three extra songs, Dead Inside, Would It Matter and an alternate version of Monster.
Overall this is an excellent album that has excellent lyrics that are very moving. I highly recommend this album to everyone.
Skillet Does It Again!!!!| Posted August 24, 2009
Skillet returns with their first studio album in 3 years. Returning to the style of their previous album Comatose, Skillet and their new drummer, Jen Ledger, hit a home run with Awake. This album ranges from hard-rock songs (Sometimes) to ballads (Don't Wake Me). The only song I didn't feel belonged on the album was "Should've When You Could've". I love the song, but I didn't feel it fit in with the other songs. All in all, a great album from Skillet.
Intensely Orchestrational and Rock Filled| Posted August 24, 2009
You can't go wrong with Skillet. I remember many years ago when I purchased their self-titled album SKILLET on cassette and I wore that thing out in my player. Skillet has continued to mature over the years as a rock band that influences people of all ages with their stringed melodies and rock aggression, hammered by lyrics thyat point to the One who can save us from ourselves, Jesus Christ! The self titled song AWAKE pounds out orchestrational dynamics with lyrics describing the war within us that wages with the world trying to kill our faith; but Christ breathes life into us awaking us from spiritual death. Be reminded that these guys are getting better and will continue to impact the Kingdom for many years to come. You gotta love Comatose Live! If you haven't seen the DVD, please find the CD/DVD combo and give it a chance! I've never seen a better performance than this one. Way to go guys! Continue to make each day a better day because tomorrow could be one day to late!

This album is most definitely the best so far. Skillet offers some heavy riffs, meaningful lyrics, and just a whole lot of awesomeness. These guys are probably one of my top 5 favorite bands. They have inspired me in so many ways. Keep on rockin' for Jesus Skillet!

Awake by Skilet is sooooooooooo awesome.I'm definitely buying it when it comes out. My fave song is probably One Day Too Late or Hero. I definitely recommend this cd.
Awesome driving rythym| Posted August 21, 2009
It is a powerful musical and lyrical compliation a new level for this group. This is as good or even better than their previous album "Comatose", the song awake is a well written ballad with moving musical background
Awesome!| Posted August 21, 2009
Man, this group continues to knock it out of the park with their awesome vocals and anthem type rock songs. It was hard to imagine a follow up album to comatose that would be this good, but it is. Hope they stay together a long, long time.
