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.\nEd 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.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock and Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 3\/14\/1995\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Collective Soul - Collective Soul (CD)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44562733531369,"sku":"U02Y2H-3AL5-00","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Collective-Soul-Collective-Soul-CD-Collective-Soul-Collective-Soul-CD_V2Imh.jpg?v=1759242737","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/collective-soul-collective-soul-cd-collective-soul-collective-soul-cd","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
