onFIRSTlisten: Skillet's Rise

Since my friend Rosalee turned me on to "Locked in a Cage" in university, I've been a big Skillet fan.  Their music has taken several forms over the years, most recently sounding a little neo-80s.  But their new disc, Rise, takes them back to their hard rocking roots while incorporating a little of each of their past musical stylings.

Friends may have be…
