Album Notes
Collective Soul: Ed Roland (vocals, guitar); Ross Childress, Dean Roland (guitar); Will Turpin (bass, background vocals); Shane Evans (drums).Additional personnel: Jerry Miller, John DiPuccio (violin); David Chappel (viola); Steve Sidgursen (cello); Janet Clippard (acoustic bass); Luis Enrique (percussion); Becky Russell, William Brown, Bertrum Brown, Jackie Johnson (background vocals).Recorded at Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida; Kiva Studios, Memphis, Tennessee; Streeterville Studios, Chicago, Illinois; Granny's Studio, Reno, Nevada.Personnel: Ed Roland (vocals, guitar); Ross Childress (guitar); Jerry Miller , John DiPuccio (violin); David Chappell (viola); Steve Sidgursen (cello); Shane Evans (drums); Luis Enrique (percussion); Becky Russell, Jackie Johnson, Bertram Brown, Will Turpin (background vocals).Audio Mixer: Bob Clearmountain.Recording information: Criteria Studios, Miami, FL; Granny's Studio, Reno, NV; Kiva Studios, Memphis, TN; Streeterville Studios, Chicago, IL.Unknown Contributor Role: Alfredo Oliva.This self-titled album from the group that surprised even itself with the success of its premiere release, HINTS, ALLEGATIONS & THINGS LEFT UNSAID, represents Collective Soul's first complete manifestation as a cohesive band. COLLECTIVE SOUL is a true rock and roll effort, full of hard-edged, rhythmic guitar work, tempered by dips into the musicians' reserve of metal, blues and radio-friendly pop.Ed Roland's songs are simple and strightforward, yet searching--as in "The World I Know," an unpretentious observation of good and evil, laden with questions like "Has the sweet breeze blown?/Has all the kindness gone?" Vigorous riffs, a full-bodied '70s radio-rock sound, and an essentially optimistic outlook on life characterize this record, though there is the occasional surprise like the final track, "Reunion," a contemplative, gospel choir-backed blues tune.

Editorial Reviews
4 Stars - Excellent - ...most of these 12 tracks....are topped with phased, harmonised vocals and choruses which ring with something approaching pop genius.
Q (19950601)

...Soul's second album focuses the group's modest mission on breezy pop songs buffed with uniquely resonant guitars....the combination of ringing pop and lowbrow riffs could well turn them into the Bachman-Turner Overdrive of their generation... - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly (19950317)

3 Stars - Good - ...With COLLECTIVE SOUL, the band proves it has the goods to continue to shine on brightly...
Rolling Stone (19950615)

Great Band

Created: 16/02/07
This is my favorite Collective Soul album. Probably one of the more popular ones next to Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid. Five hit singles include "The World I Know", "Smashing Young Man", "December", "Where the River Flows", and "Gel". All except "Gel" were #1 Mainstream Rock Hits. Overall the album is great from beginning to end.

Collective Soul-Self Titled CD

Created: 11/02/08
The music of this band (this CD in particular) is a wonderful blend of rock and orchestral music (World I Know). The music has the ability to connect with their listeners on an instinctive level. Altough the theme of the songs on this CD are addressing everyday issues that evoke intense emotional responses in young people, it does so in a way that shows all that there are always positive ways to approach and to respond to these issues. The beat of the music can be felt deep in your bones whether played at an ear-splitting volume or at a more moderate level. I enjoy this cd for the relatively upbeat tone and the wonderful use music and their creative use of words to convey the group's messages. Although not their first CD, the music of this cd projected Collective Soul firmly into the nation's limelight. It connects with the more mature age goups, as well as the younger crowd. Nothing generational about this music! There is a reason this cd continues to receive air time with most radio station across the nation. I would and do recommend the album to everyone who has not listened to Collective Soul.

Collective Soul -- Live recording

Created: 05/11/09
I can't say that I dislike anything about this live CD. Of course it is different from the CDs recording in a studio. But that is one of the reasons I like Collective Soul as much as do. I always felt that their music spoke to my soul, but they are one of the few bands I have ever heard that sound as good in person as they do on CD. They don't use a lot of mixing and fancy gadgets. Therefore, their live performances sound a lot like the CDs. I am having trouble writing this because I am listening to this CD while writing and I can't quit moving around. I think Collective Soul does a wonderful job of providing music that appeals to many. For those who want to go a little bit further than just listening to Collective Soul on the radio, you will find very deep, provocative and moving messages in the lyrics. My only hesitation about this Live recording is that it was recorded in 2005, when the band was going through a lot of changes. I don't think the band sounds as cohesive as they do now--and I feel qualified to say that because I saw them again just a couple months ago. Collective Soul rocks, you can't go wrong with their music.

Collective Soul

Created: 24/06/08
With singles like "She Gathers Rain", "Smashing Young Man" and "The World I Know", this is, by far, the best album ever put out by Collective Soul. After a solid first album, they outdid themselves with this one..
