Admittedly, I haven't really heard much of their music, but after listening to a few of their songs, I do like their music. The female drummer's backup vocals add a unique quality to their sound.

As far as new vs. old, I really don't have a baseline for comparison since I first now gave them a serious listen.

I like real rock music but I can't stand skillet. They belong in the genre of bubblegum pop along with Justin Bieber and the Jonas brothers.

What rock music do you like? My ears are open and ready for it.

As far as hard rock goes, Breaking Benjamin & Shinedown are favorites (I also like alternative rock and softer, more contemplative music,). Skillet is a failed attempt at being a rock band, primarily because their lyrics and melodies are juvenile and shallow IMO. But to each their own.

You have good taste in music. I should probably express that while I do like Skillet, there's about 300-400 different bands I like, I think. So I feel I'm still pretty musically informed.

Thats a lot. I probably haven't even heard of that many bands

Ive never cared for them, and seeing them live didnt change my opinion (unlike Seether, who I never really cared for then I saw them live and became a fan).
