Disciplined Breakdown

Template:More citations needed Template:Use mdy dates Template:Album ratings Disciplined Breakdown is the third studio album by American post-grunge band Collective Soul. It was first released on March 11, 1997. The album was recorded during a difficult time in the band's career, when they were going through a long lawsuit with their former management, and they also recorded the album in a cabin-like studio due to lack of money.

Although not as successful as their first two albums, Disciplined Breakdown did earn Collective Soul a million-selling album (platinum status) in the US, and charted at #16 on the top 200 Album Chart. Two songs also charted on the US Billboard Hot 100: "Precious Declaration" (US #65), also #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks for four weeks; and "Listen" (US #72), also #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks for five weeks.

In 1996, Atlantic Records manufactured and released a limited quantity of vinyl versions of the album before the album's full release several months later in 1997. This was done to promote the album's release. It was the first Collective Soul album to have a vinyl release.

To coincide the 25th anniversary, a two disc expanded edition from Craft Recordings was released in 2022 which featured bonus tracks plus all the songs from the band's live performance at Park West in Chicago.
