It’s possible to argue this is just Skillet doing what they know how to do best, but what’s really disappointing is that Rise is way too watered down, even for Skillet. There’s a lot of mindless power chords on every song, there are a lot of overtly “force-feeding Christian” lyrics and imagery all over, and the album will most likely appeal to those who drank in the toxins of Awake with no inhibitions. It hurts more than I expected, though, that Rise is exactly what I thought it would be. I stopped hoping for Skillet to redeem themselves with their next album after seeing that they had no reason to change - Awake sold so well that Skillet had no need to switch their sound to be more “critically acclaimed.” In my mind, there was so much anti-hype surrounding Rise that Skillet had near-insurmountable obstacles on their path to creating a quality album. I found countless bands who made catchy hard rock better and more interestingly than Skillet, and as I grew older Awake fell hard in my eyes. I realized that “kick-ass hard rock riffing” I loved so much didn’t change much between any of the songs I appreciated so much. I hated critics’ negative receptions of the release - couldn’t they just be satisfied with Skillet’s skill at creating kick-ass hard rock riffing?Īs time went on, though, my musical horizons inevitably expanded. Initially, I refused to give up on Skillet, sh itty-ass “ballads” be damned. The mediocre and boring album stung especially hard for me, as a (I thought then) die-hard fan of the band.

Alive was one of the first records to broaden my perspective: past the superficial catchiness and “heaviness” of “Awake And Alive” and “Hero,” Skillet was just capitalizing on what worked in the past, knowing full well that many would snap up the pop violins and male-female vocal split over power chord after power chord. Radio-friendly hard rock is no longer my favorite genre, and I’ve realized good music spans far wider than the Breaking Benjamins and Halestorms of the world. Of course, my tastes have matured since then. I thought songs like “Comatose,” “Better Than Drugs,” and “The Last Night” were the greatest things since sliced bread, and at this point I’ve listened to those three so much that they’re ingrained in my psyche, forever intertwined with my idea of adolescence and growing pains. With that profile inevitably came Skillet’s Comatose (or at least the singles). I was in middle school and freshman year of high school not too long ago, and I was your standard gangly, pubescent kid wandering around aimlessly in the Hybrid Theory T-shirt and blasting KoRn through cheap Apple earbuds. Most likely, I think it was as some sort of catharsis, forcing myself to realize Skillet is no longer the band I loved. I’m not sure why, exactly, I decided to listen to Skillet’s new LP, Rise. The album tells the story of a typical American teen coming into adulthood and trying to figure out who he is in a world riddled with problems both within and outside his control.Review Summary: Out of the frying pan, into the fire
The band maintains momentum with Rise, a gripping coming-of-age narrative that stands as their first concept album – though lead singer/bassist John Cooper says it wasn’t premeditated.
Rise follows the band’s 2009 blockbuster, Awake, which was certified platinum. Two-time Grammy®-nominated rock band Skillet present their highly anticipated 2013 album Rise.
