Victorious

Skillet's wheelhouse is that they are able to craft music that give articulation to the soul. With songs that voice our raving for significance (""""Legendary""""), our need for healing (""""Save Me""""), and our desperation for hope (""""Never Going Back""""), there's a rhetoric in these offerings that are intrinsically human. Thus, it becomes immaterial if Skillet is to be marketed as a Christian act or a secular modern rock band. There's such a universality in these songs that they gel up to our souls. They cling to our psyche because they are tailored made for our hearts. Or to nuance it using Biblical language, there's pint of eternity in these songs that we gravitate to; and such a lure has a way of leading us to our Saviour with or without our knowledge. \\r\\n\\r\\nAlbum #10 """"Victorious"""" is no exceptional. Though many of the songs are devoid of any explicit """"Christianise,"""" they have such a glaring appeal that anyone with the imago dei will be drawn to. The band has decided album #10 with a more hands-on approach. Frontman John Cooper and guitarist Korey Cooper have decided to handle the production. Though they have not re-invented the wheel as far as the sound-direction goes, they have done a great job in keeping the songs interesting. """"Legendary,"""" the album's single and opener, has a nu-metal post-grunge explosive sound. The song packets a motivational message for us to live lives that truly matter.
