Artist: Skillet
Album Title: Comatose
Original Release Date: October 3, 2006
Label: Atlantic / Wea
Skillet’s seventh studio album, Comatose, keeps a similar formula to the band’s 21st century success with some added progressive electronic rock. The band combines the sometimes edgy and gritty sound with a friendly pop rock and captivating hook to keep the listeners glued.
Comatose borrows heavily off the earlier mainstream success of Evanescence, none more familiar then on the popular track, “Rebirthing.” The aggressive but catchy rock tune naturally produces that level of positive adrenaline we love from Christian hard rock music. “Whispers in the Dark” is Skillet’s strongest lyrical masterpiece while “Better then Drugs” is a simple yet effective approach on an effective melody.
Skillet’s Comatose appears to make the band switch effortlessly sometimes between hard, aggressive rock and light rock with a poppy sound. Comatose continues to ride high off the success of Lava and will find a nice niche once again.
