I gotta say, this also sounds a lot like Three Days Grace. That's two songs off this record now that, instead of having that signature Skillet sound, sound like copy cats of what does well on the charts in a very forced way. This may be successful, but I am not impressed so far with either song. They can do a lot better than generic radio rock.

Is this still rising? I like this better than the harder songs off their last album, though the mid-tempos were the much better part of that album "The Last Night"/"The Older I Get" etc.

This deserves to go top 20! Will it? Probably not.

the highest chart peak was #26 by "Savior". It's a possibility.

Savior--eh? If they could get to #26 with an openly religious song, they should get top 20 with this.

savior peaked at #24 on radioandrecords, i actually just sent a message to their management comparing their 2 biggest singles and this one. this one definitely seems to be on track to break the top 20. im crossing my fingers.

Isn't "The Older I Get" their next-biggest mainstream single after "Savior"? I always found it surprising that, out of all the great songs on Comatose, that's the one that did so well. The best song wasn't even a single for crying out loud.

"Awake and Alive" is destroying "Hero" and "Monster" in downloads. In fact, it's number 42 overall and it's the sixth most downloaded rock song. The top five are all singles, three of them are the new ones by Pearl Jam, Creed, and Weezer, and the others are LP and Daughtry. Not bad company to say the least. It's a fantastic song, but I never saw this type of reception coming. They need to make that a single, "It's Not You, It's Me" would be a bad move in my opinion.
My guess is those are the top choices for the next rock single. Depending on which one is released, it'll either replace "Monster" as my least favorite Skillet rock single, or it'll replace "The Last Night" as my most favorite.

This album is very impressive. It's up there with Comatose for me. "Awake and Alive" is a clear stand out

I'd choose "Awake & Alive" or "Hero" as the next single. Those seem to stand out by far ahead of the rest to me.

"Awake and Alive" is probably their best song, ever. I really hope it's the next single. And, even though the new Creed, Weezer, and Pearl Jam singles that were released on the same day have fallen off a bit, it's still top 5 on the itunes rock chart. Hopefully the label takes note of that.

Well dangit, it sold 17 copies less than Miley Cyrus' new one. I demand a recount. Number three is pretty awesome though.

Well this album is alright. It's not better than Comatose in any way. But it's still pretty good. After so many listens, I've started liking this song more than I did at first, so it's rose above Hero in my book.
But no song on this album beats "Comatose", "Whispers In The Dark", or "Rebirthing" to me. Awake and Alive reminds me of Rebirthing a bit, so maybe give me some time and it can grow on me.

Comatose is definitely their best album, but I can't get enough of "Awake and Alive." I might even venture to say it's their best song to date. Oh, and the "Monster" video is sick. Single ranking time: 1. The Last Night A+
2. Savior A
3. The Older I Get A
4. Whispers in the Dark A-
5. Open Wounds B+6. Monster B+
