When Southern alt-rockers Collective Soul began work on their third studio album, they were one of the biggest bands in the country, with multiple hits on the airwaves and a growing collection of gold and platinum records. Yet, despite appearances, they were struggling emotionally and financially, while embroiled in a messy legal battle with their former manager. From this difficult period, however, came Disciplined Breakdown: an album that found the band going back to basics and pouring their frustrations into their songwriting. Decades later, it not only marks a commercial high point in the band\u2019s career, but also a triumphant token of resiliency.<\/p>\n

The story of Disciplined Breakdown begins several years earlier; when the Stockbridge, GA, band scored a regional hit with \u201cShine,\u201d a song written by frontman Ed Roland and recorded as a demo alongside his brother, rhythm guitarist Dean Roland, and bassist Will Turpin. It was the early \u201990s, amid the rise of grunge, and record labels were eager to find the next big act. As \u201cShine\u201d became a national hit, eventually peaking at No.11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No.1 on the Mainstream Rock chart, Roland signed a management agreement and turned Collective Soul into a five-piece, rounding out the group with drummer Shane Evansand lead guitarist Ross Childress. In a whirlwind, they released a full-length debut, Hints, Allegations & Things Left Unsaid (1994), and, upon signing to Atlantic Records, followed with 1995\u2019s Collective Soul.<\/p>\n

Over the next year, Collective Soul scored five more Mainstream Rock hits, topping the chart once again with \u201cDecember\u201d and \u201cThe World I Know.\u201d They went on tour with Van Halen and made numerous appearances on late-night TV. As the album\u2019s promotional cycle slowed, however, a new reality began to take shape. As Erlewine notes, \u201cthe rise of Collective Soul as a band is intertwined with [Ed] Roland\u2019s increased alienation from management\u2026So much was happening, that the band didn\u2019t realize how the dispute between Roland and management had metastasized.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amid legal battles with their former manager, the band\u2019s assets were frozen. There was little that they could do. Returning to Stockbridge, Roland channeled his emotions into songwriting. He borrowed a cabin on a friend\u2019s farm, bringing in three ADAT machines for tracking. And then, the band began to record the album that would become Disciplined Breakdown. Evans recalls, \u201cthere were days when each of us would walk into the cabin\u2026and we\u2019d be like, \u2018I don\u2019t know if I can deal with this any longer.\u2019\u201d But, as Roland reveals, a stronger will prevailed. \u201cSomehow we kept our sanity because we want[ed] this career and want[ed] to stay together as a band. But it\u2019s tough when the first thing you do each day is to talk to lawyers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The song titles (\u201cBlame,\u201d \u201cForgiveness,\u201d \u201cListen\u201d) certainly mirror the band\u2019s ongoing struggles, as do many of the lyrics. The anthemic lead single, \u201cPrecious Declaration,\u201d for instance, details the moment that the band and management settled in court. Yet, despite the record\u2019s heavy themes, Disciplined Breakdown is full of accessible, post-grunge tunes\u2014an element that is reflected in the album\u2019s commercial success.<\/p>\n

Following its release in March 1997, Disciplined Breakdown landed in the Billboard 200\u2019s Top 20 and was later certified platinum by the RIAA. Abroad, it peaked in the Top 5 in Canada and New Zealand and landed in Australia\u2019s Top 40. The album also spawned several hit singles, including \u201cPrecious Declaration,\u201d and \u201cListen,\u201d both of which topped Billboard\u2019s Mainstream Rock chart, while the former song peaked at No.5 on the Canadian pop charts. Other highlights included the harmony-filled \u201cLink,\u201d the dynamic third single, \u201cBlame,\u201d and the soulful \u201cFull Circle,\u201d featuring a cameo by the legendary Memphis Horns. In his notes, Erlewine argues that Disciplined Breakdown \u201camounts to the richest album Collective Soul delivered during their prime, an album where their deep musicality shines within the compositions and performances alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same can be said for their appearances on stage, following the album\u2019s release. One such concert, featured on the deluxe edition of Disciplined Breakdown, finds the band at their absolute best, as they play to fans at Chicago\u2019s Park West. The 18-song set spans a range of material, including songs from Disciplined Breakdown, a range of hits off their first two albums and an electrifying cover of Ozzy Osbourne\u2019s \u201cCrazy Train.\u201d As a special bonus, the reissue also offers two rare studio tracks: an alternate version of \u201cShe Said,\u201dwhich originally appeared on the Scream 2 soundtrack, as well as the dramatic \u201cSalvation Mix\u201d of \u201cPrecious Declaration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, 28 years and ten studio albums later, Collective Soul still maintains the same determined spirit and love for their craft that kept them going during their most challenging times. With a lineup that includes founding members Ed Roland, Will Turpin and Dean Roland, plus drummer Johnny Rabb and lead guitarist Jesse Triplett, the band is nearing their 30th anniversary\u2014a milestone achieved by few of their peers. \u201cSo much of what we do is based on the camaraderie-ship of the band,\u201d shared Roland, following the release of 2019\u2019s Blood. \u201cThe five of us continue to work together as a family, and I\u2019ve never been at more ease\u2014and never been more pleased\u2014than going onstage with these guys night after night.\u201d<\/p>\n
