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.

Famous quotes containing the words hints, left and/or unsaid:
“If we will admit time into our thoughts at all, the mythologies, those vestiges of ancient poems, wrecks of poems, so to speak, the world’s inheritance,... these are the materials and hints for a history of the rise and progress of the race; how, from the condition of ants, it arrived at the condition of men, and arts were gradually invented. Let a thousand surmises shed some light on this story.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Simplicity is an acquired taste. Mankind, left free, instinctively complicates life.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
