Best Skillet Albums

The Top Ten
1 Comatose

While the softer songs dilute it, "Whispers in the Dark" instantly made this an all-time favorite for most of the people I knew (and for me as well). Outside of Collide, I think this is the only album that flirted with metal instead of radio or "pop culture," and it did an awesome job at it!

Comatose and Collide are the best Skillet albums because they don't lack the creative spark that Awake and Rise were missing dearly. In fact, I don't feel bad saying I do not like either album anymore.

2 Awake

Channeling the voraciously symphonic, progressively-tinged rock-metal of Comatose into a far more melodic and bombastic framework, this passionately energetic record is streamlined by nature yet ambitious in practice. Ultimately, it is their pinnacle critically and commercially, with no other effort by the band quite achieving the soaring heights of Awake. Whether it be the subdued, introspective melancholy of "Lucy," the fiery inferno of "Hero," or the technically inclined "Dead Inside," it is their strongest-selling and charting album to date.

3 Collide

By far Skillet's heaviest and most aggressive album so far. This album has a lot of power, and Collide and Savior are so awesome. I honestly love Collide, Comatose, and Awake equally. All three are amazing albums.

Collide's lyrics are just so much more powerful than any other album of theirs. Songs like Open Wounds, Savior, Collide, Forsaken, and My Obsession are better than those in Rise and Awake, but not better than Comatose.

Collide is their best album. Songs like Forsaken, Savior, Open Wounds, Collide, Imperfection, and Cycle Down are the best!

4 Rise

Rise is a fantastic album with mature lyrics and awesome music. It's a must-have whether you're religious or not. I've been a fan of Skillet for a long time, and this is perhaps my favorite album they've ever made.

The lyrics are a lot more passionate, which has always been the thing I like about Skillet. Also, there is more of Jen Ledger than in Awake, which makes this special.

The lyrics are fantastic, and so is the music. They are getting back to their roots with this album! Hands down their best work yet.

5 Unleashed

From my standpoint, this is definitely their best album, followed by Awake and Comatose. I downloaded it with the intent of receiving at least a couple of great songs, but I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't delete a single song. Almost 95% of the album was brilliant, with each song having some special distinctive quality that appealed to my senses.

This is bold and ultimately addictive! I get that people do not tolerate the new sound in the album, but they can't keep recycling Comatose, Awake, or Collide. They have once again shown us why they are Skillet.

6 Alien Youth

Best album ever. Songs like Alien Youth, Vapor, Earth Invasion, and Kill Me Heal Me are just great. I know it sounds alien, but I gotta say I'm impressed. I know it's not as good as Awake or Comatose, but it's definitely a great album you gotta get.

7 Comatose Comes Alive

This album acts as a greatest hits compilation and also exhibits just how amazing they sound live, as well as their fantastic stage presence. I don't normally like live albums, but this one is simply phenomenal.

Just listen to the song Live Free or Let Me Die. You will be amazed. It's an awesome song from this album!

8 Victorious

Finish Line and Save Me are two of the best songs of all time! This album needs to be higher.

The song Victorious has always been my favorite Skillet song. I love this album!

This is the epitome of Skillet albums!

9 Invincible

This album is awesome. The melody and all are superb. I'm in love with it right now. Just listen to Rest, Invincible, Each Other, and Best Kept Secret.

10 Skillet

Ok, maybe it is ten because most people don't know it, but dude, this album is way more solid than the overrated Comatose. It turns out that Skillet, before becoming the famous Christian metal band, was an unknown Christian grunge band. You gotta listen to it. I put it third because Rise and Collide are better, but don't ignore this one. My favorite song off this album is My Beautiful Robe.

What! How is this back here? Hey You, I Love Your Soul is worse! This album is great from start to finish!

1. I Can 10/10
2. Gasoline 10/10
3. Saturn 8/10
4. My Beautiful Robe 7/10
5. Promise Blender 9/10
6. Paint 11/10
7. Safe With You 10/10
8. You Thought 9/10
9. Boundaries 100/10
10. Splinter 10/10

The Contenders
11 Hey You, I Love Your Soul

Who says this is Skillet's worst album? I know it isn't the best, but it's awesome. Songs like Hey You, I Love Your Soul, Whirlwind, and Scarecrow are even more awesome. You must give it a listen.

I don't know, I think I'll pick this one ahead of Invincible. The opening track is excellent, with a nice hard rock rhythm throughout the album.

12 Vital Signs
13 Awake and Remixed (EP)

This remix album is just the thing for remix lovers like me. In this album, Awake and Alive is more awesome than the original track, and in Monster, Jen Ledger's female part was awesome.

14 Dominion
15 Ardent Worship

This album, while not really a Skillet album per se, is a fantastic worship album that is spiritual and really makes me want to raise my hands up to God. How can this possibly be labeled as the worst? It's better than Hey You, I Love Your Soul by a lot.

16 Victorious: The Aftermath

Definitely the best album by Skillet. Every song is perfect, and Legendary is in the top three best songs by Skillet. Listen to this album and you will find it.
