Background

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]

• Ed Roland – lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards

Youth es el sexto álbum de estudio de Collective Soul, lanzado en noviembre de 2004. Este álbum fue el primero lanzado por El Music Group, el propio sello discográfico de la banda, después de dejar Atlantic Records tras editar el recopilatorio, 7even Year Itch. A pesar de ser el disco de estudio menos vendido de la banda, es considerado como un gran regreso después de pasar dos años de inactividad. Youth contiene un sonido más balanceado que sus anteriores discos, Dosage y Blender.
