One of the best and most exuberant solid-rocking albums of the late 90s. A couple days ago I put it on and played the whole thing and FREAKED. Blame? Whoah, blistering! Crowded Head: Heavy...Intense...Strident... And this one — LOVE IT! It brought back tons of memories, brought out a lot of emotions...felt my Collective Soul SHINE like it hadn't in years.
THIS STUFF JAMS! Thanks, RP!

Ho-hum..catchy hook, but then it dies off and something is missing. Then I look, Collective Soul...not a surprise.

I do not think he is joking. I have heard this assertion quoted by reliable authorities on more than one occasion. |

Was blown away by these guys when they burst on the scene, and luckily it seems, wasn't burned out on them (was living overseas at the time) on radio play, AND I got to see them jam live in Boulder in 2001 so I still really like them. I think they have a groovy edge!

Though something about the guitar riff reminds me of Cherub Rock by Smashing Pumpkins.
Or maybe it's 34 years ago and Steven Tyler is screeching "...sweeeeet emotion... " |

As cheesy as they may historically be, they are very 90's in terms of their sound and I've always had a love for their guitar riffs.

I always kind of liked their music. I saw them on TV the other day and man do they think they are cool. They reminded me of the band Jack Black and the kids beat in School of Rock.

His singing improved a lot on the last few CD's especially starting with Disciplined Breakdown and especially Dosage. He even lists a vocal coach in the credits of I think Dosage. But if you listen to that CD, you'll see he really learns how to use what he has much better. Granted the texture and range of his voice isn't lovely, but he has developed into a clearer and more nuanced harmonic voice, and it's gotten quite good. Saw them on tour and not only do they awesomely rock, but they play with passion and put on a great show— and Ed Roland is a very charismatic front man, but you can't tell that without seeing them. They've been one of my most favorite bands now since I heard Dosage a few years ago. |

This song typically opens their live shows. If you can't tell, I likey me some CS
Don't know if I would call them "power pop"
They always reminded me of Drivin' n' Cryin', later period Neats and The Tragicaly Hip. |
