Negative Positive
Title: Jammin'
Review: I judge an album's worth by how much I want to grab my guitar and learn its songs. The first time I heard COLLECTIVE SOUL, with its first cut, "Simple," I was dusting off my old Fender, plugging in, and jamming away. "Simple" is definitive, hard-driving rock 'n roll, the kind of sound that gets the blood pumping as you crank up the volume. The entire CD is full of keepers, especially "Where The River Flows" and "Bleed." And what can one say about the metaphysical ballad "The World I Know," other than "Play that song again!"I agree with the other reviewers that this self-titled album is Collective Soul's best. It's progressive rock with an edge: not too metal, not too alternative. I compare this band's impact with Boston's emergence two decades before. Collective Soul IS Boston, only with a '90's feel.
Is the review positive or negative?
