Skillet - American Noise

I enjoy Skillet. I'm by no means a Panhead (a Skillet fan... get it? Panhead... never mind), but I never complain when they hit the air.

It's been 4 years since their last proper release (Awake). This June, that changes! The album is Rise and the debut single is American Noise.

I love this song. It's got a real power ballad/rocker vibe to it. Starting out more mellow then building to the crescendo.

Another thing I love about it - the message.

Our lives can get cluttered up with junk really fast. With that, we can lose focus on what's important... when that time comes, we really need to take some time to focus on God. Cut out all the "noise" and just do some devotions. Get our head back into the right space.

Enjoy the new tune! I know I am!

Colton

As much as I hate to admit it. I like American Idol. It's cool to see the different performers year in and year out. Try to figure out who'll make it, who wont. This year I'm really digging Colton.

He has a different voice, style and doesn't seem to be faking the nice guy thing. That's always refreshing. (not to mention he's got some sweet hair going on)

He is also apparently a Christian. Last week on the show he did one of my favorite songs from Lifehouse called Everything.

It's more of a worship song then a pop tune. Seeing this on national television is super sweet!
