THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
COLLECTIVE SOUL...Hints Allegations And Things Left Unsaid (1993)
(CD, Allmusic review)
The debut album from Collective Soul. It reached number 15 on the US Billboard album charts. The album starts off with a BANG with the very catchy "Shine". It's the best track on the CD. Another highlight "Breathe". Recommended
