Skillet – Revolution (Album Review)

Skillet is one of my favorite bands. I’ve listened to them for many years. The reason I enjoy their music so much is how invigorating their music is. I even remember having to work a stressful job during the pandemic, and I would listen to their album, “Victorious.” It gave me that punch of energy and motivation to get through each day. Singing along to the lyrics in my car on the way to work gave me reassurance. I mean, I used to listen to them more in the past, but since I got that album, I’ve been pleased to have access to their newer music. And I’ve enjoyed each one.

The overall combination of great lyrics and strong songs makes me always go back to Skillet. They’re just so good, and their newest album is the same as their others (which is perfect). I really enjoyed Revolution, listening to it while working on the computer. I don’t have the physical album of Revolution, but I’d like to collect all their albums for my car. I often find that I need extra motivation when facing the world. It’s become a dark place, you know, so I’m grateful for Skillet. I hope they continue to keep playing music because what they do makes a huge difference.

Revolution is an awesome album. And to be honest, my favorite songs could be all of them. But there were a few that stood out. “Unpopular” is a wonderful track. It’s how I feel in this life. And I’m sure it resonates with a lot of people with lyrics like, “If freedom is a disease, who would ever want to be popular.” In, “All That Matters,” the song starts out beautifully. Once again, the lyrics are great with, “My faith, my family, my freedom are all that matters to me.” And, “Not Afraid” is another cool song with lyrics like, “I am not afraid, I will keep the faith, never back down ‘til my dying day.” There are more standout songs but really, truly the whole album is like that, so it’s all noteworthy.

I recommend “Revolution” to anyone that likes Christian rock with amazing lyrics. And if you’re in need of some encouragement, pick up this album. Listen to it in your car, anywhere you go. It’ll strengthen your faith, make you bold, and calm your fears. I don’t know if musicians ever know how impactful their music is, but I hope Skillet does. And I hope they continue to make music. Because the world needs more of it. So, yeah, get your copy of “Revolution.” You won’t regret it. And thank you, Skillet! You’ve really made a difference with your songs. Please keep going!
