I describe
Skillet’s sound as driving rock –energy willing you forward with a head banging
enthusiasm. They’ve had big albums in
the past with Comatose and Awake though their last album Rise
didn’t have quite the same success. Comatose brought Skillet to prominence
in the rock scene with the help of singles Whispers in the Dark, Rebirthing,
and Comatose leading the way. The album Awake had their biggest hits prior to
this album in Hero, Monster and Awake and Alive. I can’t get
into technical nuances of music but I know what I like and this album is very
good. If you like this album definitely
check out Comatose and Awake.
Skillet is a Christian rock band but don’t let that scare you away. This is an excellent album that should be
listened to if you enjoy rock.

Skillet's New (ish) Album Unleashed is a Great Hard Rocking Listen
I’m still a
CD guy and purchased Skillet’s Unleashed album
after getting hooked on their single Feel
Invincible. Whether online or in the
car I’ve listened to Feel Invincible over
and over - a lot. I’ve listened to the entire album many times
now and I’m really enjoying it. This
takes me back to their Awake album with
how easy it is to listen to the entire CD.
Feel Invincible made it to #1
on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, their first ever to chart at #1. It has also been used by some of the major
sports leagues as part of promos and advertising. The single Back from the Dead is featured as part of Marvel Comics’ ad
campaign for their Monster’s Unleashed comic book series while the song Stars is featured on the soundtrack for
the movie “The Shack”. I missed an
opportunity to see Skillet live earlier this year and I’m really kicking
myself.
