Skillet Returns Wide AWAKE!
Posted August 17, 2009
By themuzikgeek,
I was introduced to Skillet by a friend in 2006 right after the release of their album "Comatose." Instantly fell in love with "Rebirthing" with the synthesized string progressions. I later bought the CD and said after listening that "Comatose" was a CD chock full of smash hits which proved to be true: 5 #1 singles off of 1 album! That's gotta be a record right!? But without further ado, I gotta say, Skillet has done it again. More synthesized string progressions that I fell in love with the first time, electric guitars that just seem to burst out of the speakers. My favorites are the singles "Hero," "Monster," and the title track "Awake and Alive" as well as "Lucy" which spoke to me because of the recent loss of my mother. I like all of the other ballads as well with the acoustic guitar being utilized during the verses. Most artists fail trying to outdo the previous album that did as good as "Comatose" but Skillet just keeps on trucking with a newer and fresher sound and building upon what they've already accomplished. All I've gotta say is keep 'em coming! View All Music And Book Reviews By themuzikgeek | View themuzikgeek's Profile
