The album contains the usual Skillet songs, with both heavier songs and softer ones.
There are 12 songs on the album, I will put them in order they will appear, give a rating and comment.
1. Hero: Classic Skillet, the intro looks kind of like the song of their previous album: 'Live free or let me die'. 8,5/ 10.
2. Monster: A little heavier then Hero, but still skillet-like. 7,5/ 10.
3. Don't wake me: Softer, but that's also a point where Skillet has proven it is good at. 8/ 10.
4. Awake and alive: Typical Skillet intro (violines) and kind of similar to hero. 8,5/ 10.
5. One day too late: People who liked "don't wake me up", will most likely like this song too. 7/ 10.
6. It's not me it's you: one of the heavier songs, it's not my favorite of the album. 6/ 10.
7. Should've when you could've: Again this is a typical Skillet song.7/ 10
8. Believe: This is also a softer song, it's one of my favorites. 9/ 10.
9. Forgiven: Intro looks similar to "awake and alive", but it's softer. 7/ 10.
10. Sometimes: Same genre as forgiven. 7,5/ 10.
11. Never surrender: Softer song, If you like believe, you'll like this as well. 9/ 10.
12. Lucy: This is in the genre of another Skillet song: "say goodbye". According to youtube this song is about John's (Skillet's lead singer) own daughter. It's a soft song, but with very beautiful lyrics. 9,5/ 10.
