CD ReviewsSkillet Fan Disappointed Headphone Bookworm | Mid-sized City, The South, USA | 09/06/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "I was expecting much more for Skillet. They seem to be moving away from Christian lyrics, and seem to be focusing on relationships. What didn't help was the fact that the two songs they released from this album were two of the only four heavy songs on this album of 12 songs. So I was actually expecting a heavier album than Comatose. And I happened to get the opposite. Look at any two Skillet albums and you will see that Skillet never keeps their style. They are constantly changing. This is both a source of encouragement, and a cause of fear. Because will the next album be better or worse. I LOVED their album Collide, I wish they would go back to that style. For people more inclined to pop music and love ballads, this Skillet album is for you, though there are some heavier songs (which were awesome). Skillet is still very talented, they just don't seem to be in the correct (sub)genre for me at the present." Great, but not their best Daniel D. Lee | Camby, IN | 08/25/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "I just got the new Skillet cd Awake, in the mail yesterday. A day early since I preordered. Well, I remember now why I don't buy cds when they first come out or preorder. As soon as I got it and gave it a listen, I got onto amazon to see what others had too say about the cd. And what do I find? There is a Deluxe edition of the new cd with 3 bonus songs. The preorder, on the Skillet website, did not give that option and you can't purchase 2 of the bonus songs as mp3 downloads. The only way to get them is to buy the whole album again. Now I am a huge Skillet fan and in no am I trying to take this out on them. It is most likely a marketing scheme to get more money. "Revision: OK, I found that you can buy the 3 bonus tracks on the panheads website. Since I got a free membership with my pre-order I was able to purchase the tracks." On to the actual review... OK, enough ranting about that. The cd was actually very good. It is not their best cd. I am still a big fan of Collide. Comatose was also better. But, it is definitely a great cd. More of a continuation of their last without the orchestration. Skillet has always been known to change their style up a bit on each new release. But maybe they found what works for them. And it is good. I just am more partial to the heavier sound of their last two albums. I really do enjoy the addition of Jen's vocals. That adds a nice touch to the overall sound that is Skillet. Well, I look forward to whatever they put out next and as always... Keep Rockin' for Jesus!!" Decent, but far from their best A. Theye | New Mexico | 10/16/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "This CD is OK, but nothing to write home about. If you interested in them as a "Christian band", then it will be very disappointing. They sound like just another mainstream artist, with most of their lyrics about a failed relationship and all sounding rather depressed. They conveniently left any mention of God or Christ out of their entire album and are turning their backs on their Christian roots as a band. That said, the music is alright but sounds very similar to Hinder or most other similar mainstream artists."
