After sampling this new Cd I ran to purchase a copy. I was taken back by the depth and the sound of this new release. From the Album art to recording quality. I have recently upgraded my home theater and notice how well this Cd was recorded and engineered!! How many Cd's do you have that you can press play and not skip a track? I have heard Skillet's music before and could take or leave them. There is a substantial change in there music from the previous releases. So far the best album, I've heard this year!! No longer are Christian musicians relegated to the back seat, or a sub genre, the quality of recent Christian artists (last 5 to 10 years) is unmatched. While secular music stumbles along with there falling sales,lack of talent and originality, Christian music has exploded. The quality of bands like Demon Hunter,Disciple,Red and many other Christian bands should be given heavy rotation on radio but are not. The talent coming from these artists is awesome. Wow, have we come along way! 15-20 years ago we never had such a selection of music and artists.......enough lamenting......My prediction album of the year.....we will see!
