Now here's a wonderful thing. I love this album.
I stopped listening to Skillet after I had their first album on constant repeat back in the day. I guess I didn't go for the industrial stuff, and Ardent Worship was good, but I can't find it to buy it now, which is too bad...
I really, really love this new album, though. I was actually at my local music store waiting for them to put the copies out so I could buy it. It's true, it's kind of a return to their roots, but it's so very much more than that. I saw them at Cornerstone NC last summer, and they played Energy. My heart just broke under the weight of how amazing that one, somewhat generic song, made me feel.
I really don't know what it is about this album, but I must say, I love it.

3. Fingernails
4. My Obsession
All in all, John has really grown as a musician, songwriter, and a Christian. One of the kids in my youth group talked to he and Korey after the show in NC, and he said all they did was give the accolades back up to Jesus.
That, at this promising stage of their ministry, is really an amazing display of how they lean on the Holy Spirit to guide what they do.
I think that, more than anything else, comes through on this record.
