Collective Soul. Hints, Allegations And Things Left Unsaid (1994)

Hints, Allegations And Things Left Unsaid is the first album by Atlanta-based rock band Collective Soul.

It was first released on a small indie label in Atlanta, GA, called Rising Storm records. The first release included an additional track, not on the Atlantic version, an orchestral ballad titled "Beautiful World." The album attracted attention to the band and they signed on with Atlantic and re-released the album in 1994 under the Atlantic Records label.

The album's title is derived from the lyrics of Paul Simon's 1986 hit "You Can Call Me Al." The cover art itself is a modified version of the original logo of Stephen Sondheim's 1979 Broadway musical, Sweeney Todd.
