Thoughts on "Afterwords"

Faced with the prospect of enduring the radio all week while we were on vacation, we decided to stop in to Target our second night in Florida to find a cd to listen to while cruising around the state in our rental car. We ended up deciding on the new Collective Soul album, Afterwords. The bad cover art aside, it turned out to be a good choice, and we listened to it at least a dozen times over the course of the week. It was perfect vacation music: big, catchy, and relatively harmless.

Some of my favorite songs:
New Vibration - Classic Collective Soul riffage to kick off the album
What I Can Give You - Earned the right to accompany our trip slideshow
Good Morning After All - A ballad along the lines of "Run"
Persuasion of You - What can I say, I'm a sucker for big riffs

We just endured the pain of bad radio on our Hawaii trip wishing we had brought a CD. Collective Soul is coming in concert on Oct. 9.. are you going?
