Collective Soul - Disciplined Breakdown | Album Review
from Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock · host Dig Me Out
Best known for their string of mid-90s hit singles that smoothed off the harder edges of what we once called alternative rock, Collective Soul returned in 1997 under difficult circumstances with Disciplined Breakdown. A legal battle with their ex-manager lead to a canceled tour and recording the record on their own. Thanks to Ed Roland's tenured history as a musician and songwriter, the band barely misses a step combining pop-friendly melodies with rock arrangements and sounds, even taking some unexpected detours that work ("Link") and don't work ("Full Circle"). Songs in this Episode: Intro - Precious Declaration 25:02 - Disciplined Breakdown 34:51 - Link 40:18 - Crowded Head Outro - Listen Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
