Album Notes
Collective Soul: Ed Roland (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Ross Childress (guitar, programming); Dean Roland (guitar); Will Turpin (bass, percussion); Shane Evans (drums, percussion, programming).Additional personnel: Jun-Ching Lin, Christopher Pulgram (violin); Paul Murphy (viola); Danile O. Laufer (cello).Engineers include: Chris Carrol, Jason Elgin, Greg Archilla.Recorded at Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida & Tree Studios, Atlanta, Georgia.DOSAGE, an infectious slab of modern rock, is the fourth album from the Georgia-based quintet. It is the group's effective use of melodic hooks that makes this record work. Those same hooks garnered the group mega-success in the grunge-dominated mid- '90s.DOSAGE is the brainchild of Ed Roland (vocals, keyboards, guitar, production). He shows his vocal range on the Peter Gabriel-like "Tremble For My Beloved," and the much smoother ballad "Needs." "No More No Less" is powered by an excellent piano-based arrangement, while "Dandy Life" features the British-sounding vocals of guitarist Ross Childress. "Run," the album's first single (also featured in the film Varsity Blues,) is a pop hit with acoustic guitar and strings over a drum loop. DOSAGE is another winner from this hard-working, earnest-but-not-pretentious band.

Editorial Reviews
3 stars (out of 5) - ...muscular...crafted, vaguely angsty pop-rock of the kind that middle America will embrace...
Q (19990801)

...there are plenty [of] pop touchdowns in the DOSAGE game. - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (19990212)

...they've sustained their R&B- and pop-inflected rock with a rare naturalness....DOSAGE words because it isn't grounded in any heavy-duty retro concept...
