Hero~ 10/10; Fast guitar, good lyrics and vocals; their first single off this album, what's not to love? I feel like everyone can relate to this song at least once.
Monster~ 10/10; The second single, pretty much the opposite of Hero, a tad dark, but extremely well delivered. I also feel like anyone can relate to this song.
Don't wake me~ 10/10; A beautiful song that has a touch of sadness to it.
Awake and Alive 10/10; Next to forgiven i'd have to say the most Christian song on the album, and to top it off it rocks.
One day too late~ 10/10; They sing about how people make mistakes in life, and how to make their lives better "Today i'm gonna love my enemies, reach out to someone who needs me, make a change, make the world a, better place"
It's not me it's you~ 10/10; The "Looking-back-i-can-see-its-all-your-fault" song
Should've when you could've~ 10/10; "I'm-done-with-this" Song.
Believe~ 10/10; "If you believed, when i said, i'd be better off without you, then you never really knew me at all" That pretty much sums up this song.
Forgiven~ 10/10; The most Christian song on the album in my opinion, it sounds like John is asking God to forgive him, and is reliving his past mistakes that God has also forgiven
Sometimes ~ 10/10; "I-don't-really-care-anymore" Song on the album
Never Surrender~ 10/10; Theres no real way to describe this song, other than its amazing.
Lucy~ 10/10; A great song, shows that we shouldn't take things for granted.

OVERALL CD: 10/10; what can i say? I'm obsessed with this album, whether its softer rock i need, or some loud guitars, Awake's got it. It's impossible for me to pick a favorite song, because i would just pick the whole album (obviously). If you liked their previous album, then you will love this, because Awake, in my opinion, is ten times greater than Comatose. softer songs, (ex. don't wake me) mixed in with songs like It's not me It's you, make for a large variety of sounds on this album.

Feel free to write your own review, and I would appriciate some comments on mine wink
However, please review the normal one and not the deluxe album, thank you =p

Great review! Very stright-forward, but exactly right! Oh and, don't you think that the intro to Never Surrender sounds AWESOME?!!!!! I love it. And After listening to Dont Wake Me, when the beat in my head is all slow, and Awake and Alive starts, it's like a rush of awesomeness. =] Im not good with reviews so I won't write one, but I do like yours. If you don't mind, may I use your review for my website www.axxerousmusicworld.com (of course giving you credit)? I like how you worded it and the style you wrote it with. Unique. =]

I agree with everything. I'm bad at reviewing, but I can say one thing. Awake has become my favorite album in my collection, over RED's Innocence and Instinct, and Metallica's Death Magnetic. I can't stop listening to it and I just love every second I listen to it.

Dude, of course you can use it for your (awesome) website
And i agree completelly, Never Surrender's intro RULES!!!
I gotta say though, i enjoy how it plays Hero, then Monster, two TOTALLY adrenaline pumping songs, and then Don't Wake Me, it's like, chill out, but then BAM! Awake And Alive!! I love it :3
...i can honestly say that as i'm writing this i'm listening to Monster on Your website. XD

EDIT: Dusty, i totally agree. This is my favorite album as well, i expected it to be fantastic, and it was FREAKIN MIND BLOWING!!!
