Details: Review Although Roland has honed his pleasantly raspy voice to a more distinctive growl, no amount of craft can mask his generally hollow lyrics. — People There are plenty [of] pop touchdowns in the Dosage game. — Entertainment Weekly Amazon.ca At heart a safe if emotive and catchy middle-of-the-road rock band, Collective Soul up the prescription on Dosage, turning in an 11-song collection that stretches previous aural boundaries with mixed results. The Southern-bred quintet is literary in its lyrical leanings and thoughtful in its deft and dynamic pop-rock songcraft. Programming and keyboards are now part of the group’s arsenal. Dosage’s production, meanwhile, is handled by singer-guitarist Ed Roland and is exceedingly lively and crisp. The collection is more loose, experimental and modern–and less classic-rock-leaning–than Collective Soul’s two previous albums. There’s nothing quite in the vein of « Shine » or « Precious Declaration, » two memorable, high-impact singles from the band’s first two sets, though « Generate, » « Heavy, » and « Crown » are standouts. Ultimately, Dosage is a cohesive collection of strong songs and a smart step up for the band. It just may insure survival for a group where others of a similar musical ilk–such as Brother Cane and Cry of Love–have floundered. –Katherine Turman
