My guess is the album will be in te Collide/Comatose vein. That's not bad at all. I have been a fan of Skillet since way back in the day,around the time thier debut cd came out. This band gets better and better with each album. I know they won't do it but heres in idea for Skillet's new album. John like me has an affection for 80's glam metal. Skillet should make a glam metal album. Along the lines of Stryper,Guardian,etc. EIther way Skillet is still going to "rock your face off" with the new album.

I'm pumped for the new skillet album they have been my favorite band since I heard better than drugs

    
Definitely. Lyrically, Comatose kind of disappointed me. Skillet used to be really good at writing some poetic lyrics... Comatose's lyrics were almost mainstream pop.
Musically, I'm hoping for a middle ground between Collide and Comatose.

I have been waiting FOREVER for a new cd!
this should be amazing.
In my opinion they have gotten better and better every cd.

    Comalide?!

that does sound prety cool, having a mixed album like that!

Haha it does XD Does any here watch skillets podcasts?

Haha yeah, some of their newer podcasts are them in the studio recording. It's pretty sweet.

Haha very, my favorite is the most recent.

Its been like several weeks since the last one was released so I'm hoping they'll release a new one, maybe with more info on the album ^_^
    

I do watch the podcasts too.

Or a new single.

Just checked their myspace and saw Jen's twitter! She says their almost done with the record!! Yes! Maybe now we shall be hearing a name of the album.

^ Yup same here.

Their Comatose cd was too...emoish. Whatever you wanna call it. I like a few of the songs, but I prefer the hard rock of Collide. They didn't get any mainstream appeal so they can just stop with that.

I wouldn't say emo-ish. I'd say they sold out and made half the record soft songs or pop-rock....

^Yes. I have no problem with the Comatose sound. The problem is that half the album isn't the comatose sound. It's pop-rock. Going from a hard-rock band to a nickelback clone with some originality is selling out.

Nickelback? Haha. They wish. They sounded nothing like Nickelback.

I would laugh if the Album name was Victory!

    Shark Attack!

yeah, that was hilarious!

hey
if u really luv skillet and their music
there is no "good", "bad" or "disappointing"
SKILLET IS THE MOST SKILLED BAND EVER
they put the KILL IT in SKILLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
period
no band can ever compare :]

Totally! Oh and....

A few days ago on their myspace John's twitter said this:

"hey panheads! just heard our first single for our upcoming record! too bad u guys weren't here with me:) keep rockin"

Yesss!!! That means they might be releasing a single soon! Woot!

And also this is a section from their blog on their myspace:

"Allright, back to the update. Our album is done... pretty much. haha. Theyre still out in CA doing the finishing editing and touching up and mixing. So we havent heard the finals yet but what we have heard we're excited about. I guess excited and nervous. Thats normally how it is though, feeling good about new things, new directions, but then wondering if fans will like it. We debated a long time whether to introduce country music into the style for the band and finally just decided to go for it. ;) jk."

I'm getting excited!!

i just looked at skillet's myspace, and Korey and John both commented on they're twitter that they're playing some NEW SONGS tonight on they're tour or whatever

Yeah they are playing new songs on the tour.
