Why Fans Call This Album “The Blue Album”

MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 – “Gel” intro)

On March 14th of 1995…

Collective Soul released their second album.

It was creatively titled –

Collective Soul

(Music Cut #2 – more “Gel”)

The band actually had another title in mind.

But the label thought their first album name –

Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid

was already confusing enough.

(Music Cut #3)

So the label pushed them

to keep things simple.

Just call it

Collective Soul.

Because of the cover, though,

fans still call it

“The Blue Album.”

Kind of like
Weezer’s debut
only a year earlier.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“And I laugh at myself
while the tears roll down
’Cause it’s the world I’ve known.” – Collective Soul “The World I Know”
