Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid Album by Collective Soul

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid is the debut studio album by the American rock band Collective Soul. It was originally released on a small indie label in Atlanta called Rising Storm Records in 1993. The track "Shine" gained the band attention thanks to college radio. They later signed on with Atlantic Records and, in 1994, re-released the album worldwide under the Atlantic label.
The album's title is derived from the lyrics of Paul Simon's 1986 hit "You Can Call Me Al." The cover art is a modified version of the original logo of Stephen Sondheim's 1979 broadway musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The album's opening track, "Shine," would arguably become Collective Soul's biggest hit.
