Although I am a huge fan of CCM, I can see sometimes why people think it's cheesy. The lyrics have cliches, the melodies all sound the same, etc. Well, Skillet is not only a band that proves that they can sing about God and still rock, but also puts out better material than many of their secular counterparts. Collide, their last album, was a raw, emotionally-charged masterpiece, and Comatose is just that but with even more musical variety. The lyrics, as always, are absolutely amazing.  The first song, Rebirthing, is a desperate heart's cry out for the Lord, and the other songs deal with themes such as spiritual restoration and lonliness as well. It's not as hard rock as Collide, Comatose is a bit more industrial as they have been in the past, but I wouldn't say it's a bad thing, just a band trying a new sound. And it works for them. Even if you aren't a believer, don't shy away from buying this album. You won't regret it.
