Skillet Awakes after a long Comatose
Posted February 09, 2010
By BarlowDame,
It's been a long time since Skillet moved past Comatose. "Awake" surely won't disappoint fans.
The opening singles are "Hero" and "Monster". I personally prefer the former, but there are better songs throughout the album.
"Don't Wake Me" is a romantic song. It's a beautiful slowdown after the first two energetic tracks. The beat returns once again with "Awake and Alive".
"Should've When You Could've" and "Believe" are weaker tracks. The former should almost definetively be skipped, and the latter isn't too promising.
"It's Not Me, It's You" and "Sometimes" have an angry mood. They are good songs to listen to when the going gets tought.
The track "Forgiven" is my favourite. It can be interpreted in so many ways: either is it a romantic relationship, or one with God, or another, it's up to the listener to decide.
The second-last track, "Never Surrender", is very powerful. Both the music and lyrics reflect a cry for help in a desperate situation.
The fifth track, "One Day Too Late", and the final track, "Lucy", are powerful reminders to watch our actions and words and to live every second of life.
Overall, "Awake" is worth downloading. Owning the physical album, however, offers no advantage over the physical album. I still haven't listened to the two Deluxe tracks, "Dead Inside" and "Would It Matter". View All Music And Book Reviews By BarlowDame | View BarlowDame's Profile
