Riding the waves of their most successful release to date, Alien Youth, Skillet teams up with producer Paul Ebersold (3 Doors Down, Sister Hazel) to offer yet another stylistic direction on their newest release, Collide.
Departing from keyboard driven sounds and delving into grittier guitar sounds, front man John Cooper lets his inventive juices go with reckless abandon and muscle bound authority. Superior songwriting dominates once again, this time propelled by thunderous instrumental clashes and deep-throated vocals. Discover Skillet's ability to reveal passion and hope through their latest musically intense, yet lyrically beautiful, work on Collide.

From the first hard riff of the first track, this album grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. Full of amazing crunching guitar parts, this album is a definite buy for fans of Skillet or hard rock fans in general.

I love this cd by Skillet. It is probably my favorite one they have put out so far. My favorite is "Savior". "Forsaken", "Collide", and "Under My Skin" are also great.

collide is really good, and i have the song collide stuck in my head all the time, not that i mind. this album is almost as good as comatose, just not quite. there are several great songs (actually they're all pretty good) but really skillet's amazing and i think that each album is better than the one before.

Like contemporaries P.O.D. and Pillar, Skillet plays a bone-shaking, completely uncompromising brand of nu-metal that upon first glance offers very little indication of the group's evangelical Christian beliefs. Musically, the band plows some of the same ground as melodic neo-grunge groups such as Nickelback and Trapt, yet adds a conviction, raw energy, and experimental edge that takes its cue from earlier, more progressive bands such as Jane's Addiction, Nine Inch Nails, and Tool. Lead vocalist/bassist John Cooper's lyrics, though clearly faith-based, ironically represent some of the most chillingly direct and angst-driven songwriting this side of Nirvana. Backed by a mix of highly rhythmic de-tuned guitars, speed metal-style drum fills, and a plethora of spooky industrial-style samples, Cooper drives home his inspirational message with a tortured howl that equals any of his secular contemporaries.
