Negative Positive
Title: Generic, wishy-washy pop-rock.
Review: Collective Soul has really lost their soul. The departure of guitarist Ross Childress may or may not have something to do with this, as Blender was as much a commercialized venture into radio-friendly pop-rock as Youth is. I must say I'm very disappointed in Collective Soul. While I do enjoy this type of music sometimes, it is not what made me a Collective Soul fan. I did not start listening to them to get this kind of music. It's interesting how many reviews this album has, though. Perhaps in their worst musical moment, Collective Soul is finding their best commercial success. Which is a depressing comment on the state of the music industry today.
Is the review positive or negative?
