I saw them live a few years ago on one of those $5 nostalgia tour things (along with Fastball, remember them?) and they were surprisingly good. But 8 albums? There is no need for that.TylerDFChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17212252280786497395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562173474664859221.post-48126479390472625872009-09-04T12:14:23.837-04:002009-09-04T12:14:23.837-04:00Not only did I like the original Collective Soul, ...Not only did I like the original <i>Collective Soul</i>, but I still do.

Haha I love every minute of that CD still - probably one of like five distinctly 90s-sounding records I still can enjoy all the way through.<br /><br />Now off I go to torture myself with the new one.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766611910601990375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562173474664859221.post-25740142438352309612009-09-04T12:00:42.490-04:002009-09-04T12:00:42.490-04:00Eight?

Oh, rig...Eight? EIGHT albums? How... where was I?<br /><br />Oh, right. I never liked them, so I likely never paid attention. I'm putting CS in contention for the Blandest Band title.TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495736427508294951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562173474664859221.post-34615166253185002572009-09-04T11:49:13.977-04:002009-09-04T11:49:13.977-04:00Pretty much, sir.

Apparently, that's not the case with this release. <br />A shame, really. Ed Roland has a passable "rock-lite" voice, has churned out a few decent riffs and come up with some pretty damned catchy sing along choruses. After listening to their second cd, I thought that these guys might have something going but subsequent work proved otherwise. A few decent tunes (Vent,Tell Me Why, Heavy) and a whole lotta meh. Glad you advised me to pass on this one.Spenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058731351393554627noreply@blogger.com
