Awake [edit]
by Skillet | Genre: Pop/Rock | Release Date: August 25, 2009
 

One of Christian music’s top-selling rock bands, GRAMMY®-nominated Skillet returns with its latest recording capturing the raw energy and multi-textured sonic landscape for which they have become known. A mixture of dissonant chords, anthemic builds and memorable vocal interpretation combine to form a progressive, yet classic rock-influenced sound that’s all their own. Skillet’s straightforward message and innovative sound has garnered the band seven #1 songs and an avid fan base.

Experience pounding, classically influenced rock with a progressive edge, colored by dissonant chords, and gutsy vocals on the latest release from Skillet, best known for hits including “Savior.” Relevant, innovative and unforgettable, Skillet continues its tradition of a straightforward, in-your-face gospel message of hope.

best skillet | Posted August 18, 2009
WOW I am blown away by a album. From the hard rocking to the lighter side skillet has really hits every angle. The lyrics and music go hand in hand. the lyrics really made me stop and look at my own life.

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.

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

Staying up for Awake | Posted August 18, 2009
Skillet always raises the bar with each album they release. Staying up late to listen to Awake has made my Tuesday (which started 43 minutes ago) awesome. Can't wait to see the show!

Skillet Awake | Posted August 17, 2009
This album will not let you down. I have been a skillet fan since the release of Alien youth and they have yet to disappointment me. This album is full of guitars, strings and vocals that will definitely leave you feeling Awake and alive.
