Comatose by Skillet...amazing!!

By satjome,
in 2004 skillet released Collide. This dynamic heavy album, with shades of industrial metal, was loved by Panheads and rock fans in secular and christian venues alike.
nearly 3 years later, they put out another amazing effort with Comatose.
It starts off with 'Rebirthing', the first single, a dynamic song with incredible guitar work. Believe it or not, this one has strings too! yes, a violin in hard rock!!! This one is GUARANTEED to get stuck in your head!
With cool lyrics
'Rebirthing now
I wanna live for love, wanna live for you and me
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow'
it stayed on top of christian rock charts for weeks!
Next comes 'The Last Night', with a mellow piano intro, launching into a haunting and beautiful duet by John Cooper and his wife, Korey.
'Yours To Hold' slows things down a bit, with a mid tempo acoustic rock ballad, with thoughtful lyrics. Definately the highlight of the disk, the title track has a very intriguing strings intro, almost poppish, before slamming into high gear with heavy guitars.
'The Older I Get' and 'Those Nights' have a slightly different sound, still hard rock, but more melodic than the rest of the album
'Whispers In the Dark' another single, is an excellent hard rock song, that even popped onto the billboard modern rock charts!
'Looking For Angels' the closing chart, tries something completly new! John talks the lyrics to a background guitar, not singing
the lyrics are particularly good in this one, so PAY ATTENTION!
anyways, Skillet pulls out another great one!
4.5 stars
