Comatose - Skillet (CD)

Skillet's newest release is one of their best yet (I am impartial to Collide, though). It starts out with an intense Rebirthing song, the song starts out sort of symphonic and never lets you down all throughout. Every song makes you want to listen to it over and over again, but the first and last songs are the best. Looking for Angels is the last song and it ends the CD on an awesome not. The song is different then any other song on the CD and most anything Skillet has ever done. I was impressed!
Overall the mixing on the CD is great and the female back-up vocals are great, not to mention the lyrics are positive and exciting. It is hard to pull yourself away from this CD, so it is a definite buy!

I love Comatose. It is possibly the best record Skillet has made. The songs "Falling in the Black", "Comatose" and "Whispers in the Dark" are amazing!

I only own a couple cds as they are not something I usually budget, but once I listened to the demo tracks for the CD at Best Buy I had to come over to Ebay to grab this one. And I was not disappointed! Comatose is an awesome cd, I love most the songs on it. Rebirthing, Comatose, and the Last Night are probably my favorite three. Don't Say Goodbye I mostly like because there is a pretty good youtube Kingdom Hearts AMV that is actually how how I came across the sond/CD to begin with. And Yours to Hold is very pretty as well.

In all, its rare I find a cd with so many songs I like and no songs I dislike! Now I just need to hunt up the cd with 'Saturn has a Ring Around It' (my first ever introduction to SKILLET) and I can call my CD collection officially started...

i really like the songs by Skillet. my son likes them too. he actually saw them in concert at First Baptist Church in Raytown, MO a couple of weeks ago. this is a really good CD. it is a must have .

My family saw Winter Jam in COlumbia, SC and my son went wild over Skillet, a Christian rock band. I was surprised to hear some of the lyrics, though, including much of despair and even suicide. They are definitely ROCK, and my son loves the CD--I do not allow him to listen to one song (he is 10).

Great CD. Recomended to anyone who enjoys rock music. Love the song "The Last Night". One of my favorite songs all time.

This is a great album by a great band. I saw them in concert recently and they were awesome. This album proves you can be a Christian and still enjoy great music.

It's always nice to come accross something else than the usual songs we hear everyday on the radio. I really enjoy listening to this CD.

Loved this cd. was in great shape I saw skillet in concert came home an bought this cd. This product was also recived on time .

I really liked this cd- most of skillet's best songs live right here! It's just the right flavor- hard music, yet not slipping into the screamo or stuff you can't even listen to without getting a headache.. Overall one of my favorite cds ever

Great condition and fast shipping great seller to buy from produce was in great condition and no scratches thank you

Great progressive rock sound,Insightful lyrics dealing with life issues.Great music for young and old who want to listen to somethig with a positive message.

This CD is very good, but the majority of the additional songs are so-so. I was not too impressed with the acoustic versions of existing songs. All of the best stuff musically is on the "regular" version of the CD. The DVD with music videos is the best reason to buy this version.

Wow, Skillet just gets better and better! Rippin guitars, awesome vocals, pertinent lyrics, some songs you find yourself singing throughout the day. Hard rock to top-40, and it's all got a positive message! Now if they'd just release a live CD!!!! Oh, the DVD that comes w this has great videos by Skillet; especially love the behind the scenes.

To end 2007 on a grand note, Skillet re-releases their latest album COMATOSE, with a few acoustic do-overs and an extra DVD containing a few videos.
It seems Skillet always falls a few feet short from releasing an extraordinary hard rock album these days. COLLIDE was their best to date, with a harder edgier feel, with some screams to boot. Losing their faux-techno look and feel for an all around rockin' sound did them best.
Here on this album, COMATOSE doesn't know where to fit in. It is no where near the intensity of COLLIDE, and tries to rely back on some faux violin/orchestra sounds as extra song filler. The harder edge seems to have faded, as more mushy song filler pushes in through your speaker instead of some heavy laden guitars.
There are a few semi-hard rock songs here on COMATOSE...but not nearly enough to keep the listener entertained. Oh Skillet, where is thy hard rock sting? I guess a novel feature is their extra DVD with a few videos; but hey, who can't see 'em on YouTube these days? As for the extra acoustic renditions of a few songs... I skipped right through them. Honestly. If a song isn't good, then doing it acoustically won't make it sound better.

All in all, if you're a die hard Skillet fan, then pick it up. If you're a mediocre Skillet fan, then skip this one and buy their last album, COLLIDE.

I have loved Skillet for several years. Their music has always been rather edgy, even through their "industrial" phases. But with Comatose, Skillet has sparked a rockin' beacon call to saints and sinners for greater understanding of the needs in everyone's lives. And -if the listener thinks with the lyrics, they will be drawn to the mercy and grace found in the Lord.

This cd is one of the best ones I have ever purchased. Every song on it is great. The cd itself is in great condition too even thought it was used. I love it!!!

This is an AWESOME CD! Just AWESOME! A lot better than your average heavy metal Christian rock. lol I also really like how the lyrics for each song are
included inside the CD. The cover art is a little unusual, but that's forgiveable. I highly recommend this item.

Great cd to listen to. Great song on this cd mix rock and pop makes this cd awesome i a great way. Like it very much postive songs here on this skillet comatose cd. Buy it you will be happy.

This was my first taste of Skillet and all I have to say is Wow. The whole CD is great. All of the songs are well written and very well executed. Rebirthing is what got my attention in the first place. I was listening to a music channel on cable and heard this awesome sound being played. After weeks of hearing the track on its own I decided to buy the album on eBay and listen to the rest of the band's work. Boy was I glad I did. Nice. Now I need to get the first one, Collide, sine its only logical. For now I have been listening to the Comatose album non stop since July. I can't bring myself to eject the CD from my truck's cd player. At work I listen to the burned tracks while I sit at my desk. I am hooked on Skillet. I'll go to their concert because of this CD. Albums are made to promote live shows. This albums bought me. Now I have to see them live. Buy this.

They do their own thing, and they do it very well. The styles range from hard rock to rock/pop. The lyrics give the positive message we all need to hear. Turn up the volume in the car or wherever!

As a fan of Skillet, I bought the album hoping for some more rockin' songs. I was not disappointed. Skillet's Comatose is full of heavy rock songs but also contains a few throwback rock ballads in "Don't Say Goodbye" and "Yours to Hold." Among the headbanging songs, "Rebirthing", and the title track stand out as the best with Skillet's classic sound mixed with some string elements for a definitive sound. "The Last Night" also stands out with Korey Cooper's vocals adding a special something to the song. All in all, there may only be one or two songs on this album which I would not label as great. If you're even a casual fan of Skillet, you must get "Comatose."

The Skillet CD, Comatose is Fabulous! The songs rock and the stories they tell very entertaining and encouraging. Christian Rock can be Fabulous, just take a listen and see for yourself.

If you like intricate melodies integrated with monster power chords, outstanding bass lines, intense percussion and introspective lyrics about the power and pain of love left wanting, waiting and remembering, this will be the best album you have bought in the last 20 years. From modern Linkin Park style slashing guitar to power balads reminisent of the early 1980's "hair bands", this album has it all in a style that is uniquely modern and uniquely Skillet. If you arleady know the band, it is by far their best effort to date, and Collide (2005) is one of my all time favorites. This is the only band playing today that leaves me wanting more. You will either love it or hate it, but play it loud and it will definately get your atention.

Great cd, the band isn't like most cristian artists, they are a great band and have their own "style" that i enjoy.
