I m awake, I m alive and it's good to be alive

No, I was not mistaken in her album. As an avid fan of Collide and Comatose, who was a little bit of Awake and Alive disappointed, I just think this quote from the aforementioned song the perfect expression of my feelings for Rise.
The effect of this album is quite comparable with a shot of adrenaline, which is hunted to the heart; because the music exudes an energy that it is able to shake new life into nearly lifeless bones and dusty bones. If you switch it in the morning, half comatose from a sleep, so you have to be back soon keep it to dance around the room or headbanging to sit in the bus or train. If you listen to them in sports, so you will never stop running.

Music and lyrics do it already with the first hearing to infect, and spread to the rest of the day, the week, the month in the entire organism. In perfect relationship is rocky and worn, downright moody songs alternate; like Sick of it and everything goes black.

After I finally, got used to the initial doubts, which had even accompanied Awake & Alive at Jen Ledger's voice, like the harmonies of its strong light, and John Cooper huskily getting better, so I can not get enough of me.

How often throws Skillet even with this album again a lot of different musical ingredients in the pan and thus brought a delicious meal; so especially the choral passages sneak into memory, for example, decorate the song Rise, or the transition pieces between each song - note especially those between Good tob e Alive and Not gonna die, the strongest song on the album. The well-known already by Comatose string passages not be missing here.
Content is between defiant songs such as Rise and Not gonna die, thoughtful tunes like American Noise, cheerful songs like Good To Be Alive, atmospheric ballads like Fire and Fury and everything goes black and invigorating, moralizing pieces as Hardt o find, Salvation and What I believe gewecheselt.

With the album Rise manages to unite all Skillet moods while also summon beautiful, rock songs with content-rich, relevant texts and catchy warranty. With this CD, it is truly good to be alive
