Collective Soul - Shine (Re-recorded Greatest Hits CD; 2015)

[@riggs100]

I really liked this version, very polished and energetic at the solo part... Its understandable that many dont like it, this version faces a 90s classic..

As someone with childhood memories saturated with song...being played in car rides around my little Kentucky home town, or driving with my dad for hiking/camping trips... I'll testify that I love this version. I feel it stays very true to the original in all the ways that matter: the mood, the delivery..etc. It sounds to me like, it was just recorded the way he probably wanted to record it initially, but didn't have the resources to at the time..the original, and the whole "Hints[...]" album that it came from was meant to be a demo, I'm pretty sure. Also, I love how that one part that was kinda subtly metal in the original is now heavier and clearly metal 😂 but just briefly... again, I think it honors the original vibe. The tweaks are pretty seemless, I think.

[@SPTX0907]

an older Ed Roland, with a seasoned voice.... Perfect!! it serves well this new rendition of their greatest hit. SHINE ON!!!!

[@rogerpiencenaves7048]

So crisp and rockin loved it!

[@Docochoco39]

VERY WELL said, JRDRA997! Ed’s mature voice only enhances the true beauty of this iconic rock song! Here’s a pretty cool story. So, waaaay back when Shine came out I was automatically a Collective Soul fan! I had a buddy that was a hardcore Led Zeppelin game he heard Shine and he told me it wasn’t going to last as a true rock song through the ages. Well, I was at his annual birthday party with a lot of our old military buds. Loud music, three beer kegs, among “other” party favors, lol. My Zeppelin buddy approached me and asked me, “Don’t you think Shine is a spiritual song because it’s lyrics including the word heaven in the song and it’s reference to “shine down on me?” I began laughing my ass off and my rebuttal left him standing with a blank stare! I asked him if he thought Highway to Heaven was a spiritual song because they sang about Heaven? About 15 minutes later, my buddy asked if I had my Collective Soul “cassette” so we could play it at his annual bash! I think he became a Collective Soul at that point in time! SHINE ON!

[@philfrank5601]

The vocal track was lifted from the iriginal recording (as was the main guitar riff amd some other parts) It's just mastered differently.

[@MichaelMyers-pj2uk]

Holy shit that bridge... a classic made even better by modern sounds.

[@SilverVein]

Love this, better than the original by far. Really comes in clear. Such a blessing that they chose this classic to re-record.

[@laluzdelsol7587]

I wish someone would just take the guitar from this version, and maybe the drums, and splice them into the original.

[@dadadruma]

and put the original ones In here? =0P

This version is just way better than the original.

[@MikeSparksMusic]

I have to agree. You got the real drums in this one plus an extended verse after the solo.

[@sgtpaloogoo2811]

Original sounds like the recording equipment wasn't working 100% at the time.

[@codyfrench7668]

​@@sgtpaloogoo2811that's essentially what it was - the first album was effectively a well made demo tape because Ed had given up on being a musician and just wanted to sell what he felt were his best songs to a production company so he could pay to go back to college

This is my favorite version it’s like I don’t how to explain but sounds like something id hear again on the radio or in a gas station but this song is the one I grew up with my mom had the original song on a MP3 player and heard it before and just remember the riff guitar playing brings back memories of my grandpa too he use to be outside and fix his Chevy pickup or just outside and miss those memories when I was little going outside too simpler times I miss

[@strangewayfaringstranger]

I love this version cause in some ways it is totally new to me. As the original i've heard so many times haha.

[@mfh5013]

the newly recorded guitar sound is AWESOME!! but yeah, the vocals and the solo are lacking the "feeling" of the original recording. However, we have all been listening to the same recording since 1993, so when our brains hear something different we're all like, "WHATTTT?"

[@cullinaaronkress]

+mfh5013 Very true. I do like this re-recorded version cause it doesn't sound like a demo, but I also really love the original so it's weird.

[@Cieje3]

Let's not forget that the original "album" Hints, allegations and things left unsaid was basically their entire demo tape pressed onto a CD..

[@cullinaaronkress]

Which is why I pointed out that this one doesn't sound like a demo.

[@lucianocastillolucio2169]

I agree, but heck every time you see them live, pretty much all of the bands sound a little bit different. I like it. The ending is awesome.

[@vanessaoltramari4996]

Perfeição de sonoridade

[@AimingWanderously]

Def Leppard did this with a few of their songs, most notably Hysteria. Same deal- something's different, you can tell it's new, but it's so close to the original it's impressive.

[@brandonc6916]

Unreal song writing

[@penyuwan]

They replaced the drum machine with a real drum sound, yet I feel the harmonic is gone and that epic Ross solo too.

[@RetroSoulGirl]

The original from 1994 that played on the radio used a regular drumset! Shane Evans is on the drums and is credited on the '94 Atlantic Records release. Only the 1993 version off the indie label Rising Storm that Ed made before he got famous used an actual drum machine. But finding that song/album is extremely hard and rare now. I'm a diehard Collective Soul collector and I can't find it at all.

[@philfrank5601]

@@RetroSoulGirl This contradicts what their bass player said in a recent interview. The drums on the album we all had back then are a drum machine, even though the drummer received credit.

[@slymmkredible]

Love the new album, love this song & loved them in concert the other day, but the way he's singing 'down' after 'heaven let your light shine' is ruining this new version for me. It's like all of his heart and soul just disappeared from that one word. Or maybe I'm just going crazy. Either is quite possible.

[@todds.6028]

+slymmkredible Yea. It's the harmonies I think. The harmonies played a HUGE part of making that part so hooky. And they're kinda weak on this version.

[@slymmkredible]

I agree, something is definitely missing. Thanks for posting this, I'm gonna have to go out and grab the Walmart version to hear the rest of the re-recordings. The actual album is fantastic.

[@morphlegacy4289]

+slymmkredible actually, go listen to the original, he's singing it the same way. that's how it was originally recorded if you didn't know!

[@morphlegacy4289]

+slymmkredible i believe the other guy cleared it up! There was someone singing the harmony part over his and it gave it that sync. But they took that out on this. I know what you mean tho cause it took me by suprise!

[@ja8ames]

This is pretty weird. The weak link in the original recording was always the drums, but even though these are real, they seem to just be imitating the drum machine instead of playing a fuller groove. And the vocals and guitars seem simpler, more stripped down.

[@mariaurena1900]

I Don't think Ross actually played the original solo. I think the album had already been completed by Ed as a solo deal . He had to form a band after the song got some airplay and needed to be performed live. At least think that's how it went.

[@zf2029]

I believe Ed and Ross were together in the production of this album. But yeah, the whole band came together a year later.

[@joshfuller1809]

Is it that they re-recorded every song that otherwise had Ross Childress on guitar? Is this their way of erasing him from their catalog?

[@kyleputman2540]

I think it was an idea of offering their older songs with a freshened/more polished production.

[@tolliver15]

Ed doesn't own the master recordings of the records they made with Atlantic. He owns the publishing (songwriting), and the music. I have a feeling these were re-recorded so that CS could take the songs back, in a sense. Atlantic can't make a dime from these versions.

[@philfrank5601]

@@tolliver15 But these versions aren't the ones in rotation on radio, etc. They're not making any money from these Rob-less versions.

[@RetroSoulGirl]

The only difference I hear is the guitar solo in the middle and end. I thought they would've done more. Like make the drums more punchier or something. The rest of the song is lacking. They did more than this with their other re-records. Strange. Still good shit though.
