The tight, anthemic title cut sets the stage, offering up a rousing, radio-ready declaration of solidarity that admits to the cumbersomeness of youth while maintaining a glass-half-full world view, which is a common thread throughout the album’s 12 immaculately produced tracks. Such a vague story, despite numerous evocative, yet largely unnecessary between-song interludes, yields little in the way of any kind of investable, individual emotional arc, but the more general themes of self-discovery, faith, love, and loss resonate enough to pull at least one of the listeners feet into the story. Rise, Grammy Award-nominated Christian rockers Skillet’s ninth studio album, is built around a loosely knit narrative that charts the course of an everyday teenager’s ascension to adulthood, and the challenges of maintaining one’s faith in a largely unforgiving world. It tells the compelling story of a typical teenager coming into adulthood and trying to figure out who he is in a world riddled with problems both within and outside his control. The recording is a gripping coming-of-age narrative that stands as their first concept album. They are one of only three rock bands (the other two being Mumford & Sons and the Black Keys) to strike Platinum in 2012.

It follows the 2009 blockbuster, Awake, which was recently certified Platinum. Rise is the highly anticipated recording from the two-time GRAMMY®-nominated rock band.
