This review covers the alternative rock track Collective soul – Heavy.
This track was released in 1999 on the album Dosage.
The track starts off with a guitar in the right channel. The guitar effect then switches to the left channel. After that, the drum kit comes in. More guitars then join the track before a brief drop.
After that, the track comes back with vocals. Shortly after that, the vocals take the track into the main chorus. This is capped off with an instrumental section.
From there, the vocals take the track into the next verse. After a brief drop in the vocals, the vocals take the track into the next round in the main chorus. The main chorus is repeated. Anther instrumental section caps off the section. After that, a guitar solo comes in.
The main chorus then returns. From there, an instrumental section takes over. The track then suddenly drops out with a quick snare leading the track out.
After listening to the track, I wasn’t entirely sure what to make of the track. I’m not sure why, but I couldn’t really get any meaning out of the track.
On the plus side, the guitars are pretty decent. Unfortunately, this track is also quite short, so it has a tendency to be a bit fleeting.
The vocals are OK, but nothing special that I could hear.
Overall, this is an OK track, but nothing huge. The guitars are decent, but the track is a bit short. I couldn’t really get much in the way of meaning out of this track and the sudden ending is a bit jarring. So, it’s not a terrible track, but nothing to really get excited over.
Score
6.5/10
