Free Music Notes for Afterwords Album
Free Music Review: I've got a memory of nothing new.
Hit: 4 Stars
Collective Soul are back with their 7th studio album in 13 years. In comparison to their previous work, "Afterwards" is better than "Blender" or "Youth". However, I won't give it five stars because there are a couple of songs that were just okay like "Never Here Alone" and "Bearing Witness". Also, "Afterwords" continues the Collective Soul formula of assembly line power pop power chords. They continue to remind me of The Cars on songs like the very catchy first single "Hollywood". Elsewhere, they have other potential Top 40 hits like "What I Can Give You", "All That I Know", "Good Morning After All", "Georgia Girl" plus "New Vibration", "Persuasion Of You" and "Adored". The most unusual track is the non-Ed Roland "I Don't Need Anymore Friends" which is written and sung by Joel Kosche.
I wish Ed Roland and company would experiment more. They've been around for 13 years, so what do they have to lose at this point? Shake things up a bit next time. I give "Afterwords" four stars because its better than their last two albums, but not quite as good as 1995's "Collective Soul" or 1999's "Dosage".
As a final note, I don't know whether the band's strategy of selling their album only through Target and iTunes is smart. Time will tell. However, I think many potential buyers and fans won't even know Collective Soul have a new cd out. I haven't heard "Hollywood" on the radio, nor have I seen the video on MTV or VH1. The only place I've seen the video is on the band's website, and the only place I've heard the song is on my stereo. It would make a great iPod commercial though!
So, if you are a Collective Soul fan like myself, you will probably like this, and should pick up a copy. They are the only Christian band masquerading as a rock band that I can stand! I'm hoping next time they will offer more surprises with their music. For now, "Afterwords" is enough to tide me over.
