Youth is the sixth studio album by Collective Soul, released in November 2004. The album was the band's first on their own label, EL Music Group, after leaving Atlantic Records following the release of their greatest hits album, Seven Year Itch. The album contains a more balanced pop-rock sound than their previous albums Dosage and Blender.
Background
[edit | edit source]After 2000's Blender both Ed and Dean Roland went through divorces. The band attempted to work through these circumstances and, according to Dean, at one point had enough material for two albums. However said material was darker and the band wanted the songs to have "a more positive, 'light at the end of the tunnel'-type vibe". The band eventually scrapped the material and completely started over.[5]
