    Honestly, just pull up a smattering of the top songs. I don’t think you need to do a whole album to get the vibe – 2 - 4 songs should do it.

      i mean while i agree with you, i gotta do a whole album. they tell a story. even if the artist (publisher, musician, recording engineer bullshit whatever whoever) isn’t good enough to tell a story intentionally there’s a story in the album.

      but like i said, i’m a musician. i’ve sat through an entire concert looking like i was watching 2001 on acid for the first time just muttering “his hands. his hands.” the entire time while the drummer did things no percussionist should and no other drummer can. there’s subtexts that we don’t even know we’re putting into our own songs sometimes.

        Totally reasonable.

        I’m digging up old memories, but anything released in the early 2000s should fit the bill. Skimming track lists for something I recognize, invincible or Alien Youth are jumping out at me.

    I had no idea Skillet was Christian rock until well after highschool. I think Monster is one of their more popular songs and does a pretty good job showcasing their general vibes
