Comatose is the seventh full-length album released by the Christian rock band Skillet.

Comatose has mainly received positive reviews. Allmusic praised its unique mixture of instruments, saying, "When guitar progressions meet piano nuances, special things happen with this band."Jesusfreakhideout.com also gave the album a high rating; "Filled with big songs from beginning to end, Comatose relies on more theatrics to build their sound while delivering substance at the same time." Christianity Today, while mostly giving the album positive remarks, felt that the ballads were a bit too poppy compared to the heavier songs. They also found some of the lyrics to be generic. The only notable website heavily criticizing Comatose is ign.com, with remarks such as, "This may play well within that niche market of Christian music, as many of the traditional listeners eschew 'secular' radio. But anyplace else, this album will be ignored by the masses, as it's all been done before in one way or the other."
