Jimmy Buffett, Aerosmith, Jack Johnson, Fall Out Boy, and just about everyone else.

To say Georgia band Collective Soul’s eighth studio LP sounds not that different than their previous efforts won’t surprise many people. If anything, the most shocking aspect of that statement is that the band has released seven previous albums, not to mention a greatest hits collection and live disc. It’s also not a sharp criticism of the band, either. If the songwriting ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
