Dean Roland of Collective Soul: I would say over the past couple of records -- I don't know if it was conscious or if it just was familiar and comfortable and we felt more confident in it -- we were recording kind of the way we used to, where we get in a room and hash through it and get as much recorded live as we can, as we feel comfortable with.
And really challenge ourselves. Be vulnerable in that, without having to go through and track the drums, track the bass, and just stack it. Which is fine too. I enjoy that as well. But there's some sort of thing, that improvisational thing or the real time moment, when you're playing with the dudes in one room. That's fun. So we've gone back to that. Because we've been playing a lot over the past few years and feel like our chemistry is locked in. The goal is to kind of translate that onto tape. So that's been reinvigorating for us. It's been inspiring to get back and take it from that perspective.

I also pound the virtual pavement to spread the word about their music and concerts.
