Review: Collective Soul "Afterwords"

Since 1994, Collective Soul has been churning out disc after disc of high quality melodic rock. Say anything else about them, but you can't knock their consistency. This is their 7th record in 13 years! This latest effort, "Afterwords" (2007) continues the trend and rocks with Ed Roland's distinctive voice, jamming riffs, and lofty choruses.

Actually, I am not all that crazy about the first single, "Hollywood," but the rest of the CD is, by and large, really good. Nothing new or earth-shattering, but why should these guys fix something that hasn't been broke for the last decade?

While the tracks can be downloaded from iTUNES, be warned that those hunting for the actual CD will only find it at Target (unless you want to shell out more $$ for the identical import version form Amazon).
