Review

John L. Cooper has finally hit his stride with Skillet. Collide is a disc that chugs along with guitars out front, screaming vocals, and a raw intensity that strips the band of its electronic nuances. Opting for a much more aggressive sound, the band leans on guitar riffs while synths are more tastefully added. Songs like "Forsaken" and "Savior" are perfect examples of unadulterated rock bliss. Even when the band veers away from the heaviness à la the well-placed orchestration on "Collide," the meat of the tune still ends up rocking out. With this disc, Skillet takes a firm stance toward honing a sound that is marketed to Generation X. With cuts to back it, they may have found the right vehicle to reach those ears. ~ Steven Douglas Losey, All Music Guide

Collide is the sixth full-length album from Christian rock band Skillet. It was originally released on November 18, 2003 under Ardent Records.[1] The album was re-released through Lava Records on May 25, 2004 with the bonus track "Open Wounds".[1][2] The album peaked at #179 on the Billboard 200 and #5 on the Top Heatseekers. There is one music video for this album of the song "Savior". The album artwork is, according to John Cooper, faith and fear colliding.

This is one of Skillet's heaviest-sounding albums.

Music video

A video was made for the song "Savior." The music video shows the band playing in both a house and at a park at night. It became only the second Skillet video to have a story in the video, after "Best Kept Secret," though the story in the "Savior" video is more heavily featured. The video shows an abusive father mistreating his children in the house, and the subsequent escape of the children from their father. They make their way into the park, while the location of the band playing switches from one to the other. The video ends with the children being safe in their mother's arms. The video is arguably the heaviest in theme in the band's career to that point.
