Rest assured, it's a capital T on the CD cover. It was the glaring omission of one of the album title's words that was foolish, especially when trying to correct my mistake. The single does indeed leave out the word The. So by pure coincidence, we both called the album by one of its singles. I hope your future is full of hungry wolves. |

Looks bound for #1. "Breaking Inside" with Lzzy Hale is next. i don't like their chances of releasing another single. this could be the last |

I'm wondering if they'll have a new album out this year.

This takes over #1 on Active today. Not too surprising.

It may be to a few for coming off a soundtrack. Without looking, can anyone guess the last #1 Active song to come from a movie soundtrack and not an album?

Really? I assumed that was on one of their later albums. The only one that came to my mind the was the #1 single from Spider-man.

Well, it's not #1 yet, and it's not from the original album. I believe Van Halen's F.U.C.K. album had five #1 Actives.

Hm two excellent #1s, followed by this.
What is every one backing for the next #1?

Kind of hard to say, other than "Rope", there doesn't seem any contender for #1 right now.
Possibly "Awake and Alive"?

I think "Awake and Alive" and "Far From Home" are both going to run out of steam short of the top spot. They've valiantly hung around, but I don't think either is ever going to hit the 1600 play mark, and the current top 3 has over 1700 plays. I think "Burn" has a shot to return Papa Roach to the top spot, but I think "Rope" will be our next #1 on both rock formats.

I too would agree that Rope is the favorite to make it to the top. I had a chance to listen to the Skillet CD and couldn't believe how much like Hinder it sounded. The vocals, the chords, the lyrics, almost everything.

While Brian Howes is involved in both...damn them's fightin' words. A lot of people will be up in arms to hear you say that. But from a more subjective standpoint, Skillet has been around a lot longer than Hinder, so if anything, Hinder sounds like Skillet. Also, I don't think Hinder can do the orchestral hard rock the way Hinder does on "Awake And Alive". But I agree to the extend that 'Awake' has a TON of monstrously cheesy songs and so does Hinder, and having the raspy voiced crooning ballads are a signature of both bands now.
The lyrics though? I mean I might agree that some of the ballads do a BIT. But comparing a sleaze-rock and a Christian Rock band lyrically is going to raise some eyebrows, and quite frankly, lead to more curses cast upon you.

No, not at all. I wasn't slamming either band. Both are good at what we do. I meant they sound similar, not that one was copying the other. And from what I understand, this version of Skillet has no original members, so it's almost like they came after Hinder.
But when Should've When You Could've came on, I had to actually check to see if it wasn't Hinder shuffled in. I did mean the ballads, not the heavy rockers. Again, wasn't trying to make fun of either band. I was just amazed at how close the voices of the singers sounded, the overall chord structures, and the lyrics to a few of the songs.
On a side note, I met most of Skillet in 2003 when a local church affiliated with our radio station brought them in for "Lazurasfest" or something like that. I don't know if any of those members still exist, but they were very nice. As was Jeremy Camp and the guys from Pillar. They all played at a local elementary school. This was before they all three made it big.

Korey was a session and touring member for the second album but didn't offically joint he band until the third. Whil I'm not a huge ballad fan Skillet (with the exception of SWYC) is far superior to Hinder. |

I at least haven't heard anything yet from Skillet that has been strong.

So any 7th single predictions? Lol  If they were actually to do so, I'd go for "What a Shame". But I think it's time to move on to a new album. |

I would assume the consensus would be make a new record. They had to move onto a soundtrack to get this gem. I doubt they double back to pull another from Madness. But who would be surprised if they did?
