Collective Soul - 1997 - Disciplined Breakdown

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine Disciplined Breakdown has to be one of only a handful of records inspired by a songwriter's breakup with his manager, but despite its origins, the album is another smartly assembled arena rock collection from Collective Soul. Ed Roland knows how to co-opt contemporary alternative rock trends and refashion them into hard-rocking anthems, as evidenced by the first single, "Precious Declaration." He still has a problem coming up with a consistent set of songs, but Disciplined Breakdown is nearly as slickly entertaining as Collective Soul's eponymous second album, and its best moments indicate that Roland is beginning to develop a distinctive hard rock style of his own. 01 Precious Declaration Roland 3:41 02 Listen Roland 4:14 03 Maybe Roland 4:09 04 Full Circle Roland 4:09 05 Blame Roland 4:42 06 Disciplined Breakdown Roland 2:55 07 Forgiveness Roland 5:02 08 Link Roland 3:04 09 Giving Roland 3:06 10 In Between Roland 4:03 11 Crowded Head Roland 3:40 12 Everything Roland 3:46
