Tough call, I think I'm leaning toward "Hero" though.

This song is nothing but a cheap ripoff of "Animal I Have Become" to me. I find they have several similarities in the sound, and the lyrics are very close. Disagree if you want, but this being a cheap ripoff of AIHB just makes me detest the song

That was productive, the two songs were also co-written by the same guy.

After listening to this album six times, I think "Hero," "Monster," and "Awake & Alive" are all kickass songs, but the rest sound extremely similar to one other. Mostly songs about break-ups, relationships that could have been, etc. Let me say this... Skillet is 100 times better than Hinder, but all I could think of when listening to some of these is "Goddammit man. They've become Hinderized :("

I don't think that's being Hinderized, I think that's being Nickelbacked, or at least Indaughtrinated. If they released something like "Get Stoned" or "Use Me," then we can start talking about Hinderization and Buckcherification.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

It's a shame that a song this mediocre (at best) is the one to get them this kind of success. All of their previous singles were way more interesting than this. I hope that "Awake & Alive" is next because that song is up to par with what I expect from these guys.

I don't find it to be a shame at all. I understand it doesn' t live up to your expectation of them but I actually really like the song and its a pretty easy song to relate to since I'm sure everyone's felt this way one time or another in their life.

That's already my favorite Skillet song, actually it's probably the best song I've heard in awhile. Definitely so far this year.

You're right, it's a level above most of their other stuff. I might still say "Rebirthing" is my favorite song from them.

Awake and Alive is a great song, I just heard it for first time today. Hard to believe that it hit the Hot 100 and its not even a single and from a band that, let's be honest, most of the mainstream world doesn't know much about yet. One question, I've tried searching but to no avail, who's the girl singing in it?
Edit*** - I found out, its the new drummer Jen Ledger.

You haven't heard a lot this year. Just because your taste in music has gone stale doesn't mean mine has to In fact you said yourself you liked the song. One question, I've tried searching but to no avail, who's the girl singing in it? New drummer Jen Ledger. She's the one singing in "Hero" too. I guess Korey got tired of doing backup vocals. EDIT: Nevermind, lol

I really don't know how you think that. I'm sorry my favorite song this year isn't a straightforward post-grunge rock song. Skillet's done better at any rate. Yes, I like the song, but that doesn't stop me from liking others more.

Oh come on, you can call me out on what I like but now you get defensive? You're better than that pen. EDIT: And I don't get how that song is "straightforward" post grunge either. "Monster"? Definitely. "Awake and Alive" not so much.

Is this getting defensive? I thought it was me laughing at such a ridiculous accusation.

I'm sorry my favorite song this year isn't a straightforward post-grunge rock song... ...seems a little defensive. It came off as pissed actually. As for "you haven't heard a lot this year," you couldn't be further off. I think I've listened to and bought more CD's this year than any other year. It's just that we disagree, it doesn't mean I don't listen to stuff.
