"Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid"

I finally get that that title is completely redundant! When this album first came out in 1994, (Collective Soul's first? I think?) I was only 10 and I didn't understand what an "allegation" was.

Funny, though, my brother's friend had the CD so I borrowed it, taped it (yes! An audio-cassette! Wow!) and listened to it non-stop. Slightly illegal, but I was in Grade 4 and had no money (besides, I bought three of their later albums when they came out...and they weren't as good. Meh). I even memorized the song order and lyrics because I listened to it so much. Mostly car trips and such. I remember skipping over "Scream" because it was too angry-sounding. (This from the one who now cranks up "angry music" when she's pissed and needs someone to sympathise with).

Listening to it again made me actually read the title and realize that I didn't even understand the frigging title of this album that I used to listen to so much. Oops. Yeah, so a moment of nostalgia from yours truly. Back to my 223 assignment.
