First off, I give full credit to JesusFreakHideout.com for the idea of using a blog to recommend favorite albums weekly. It's an exercise they've been practicing for a while now - I am merely doing the same thing. I saw that, and thought it would be pretty cool to add it to my music blog, so... voila! But instead of giving you, the reader, a newly recommended album per week, I am going to do one every two weeks, preferably on Mondays. So, without further ado, I give you the first installment of my "I Recommend" blogs. Enjoy!
Recommended for 2/22/10 - Skillet - Skillet (1996)
Ah... every good band has to start somewhere, and this good band's debut is one of their best. Featuring raspy vocals from lead man John Cooper in their rawest form, set to a lush grunge soundtrack, this album is a highlight of these artists' career. While the production may not shine as well as it probably did in '96, the original, creative lyrics (something we haven't saw from this band in quite a while...) more than make up for it. So be sure to pick this one up, don't get Awake and Comatose, and stop there.
Song Highlights: "I Can", "Paint", "Saturn", "Boundaries
