Dosage by Collective Soul

Dosage, Collective Soul's fourth album, came out on Atlantic in February 1999, and its title says plenty about where the Georgia band's heads were at: it was their own catchphrase for the burnout they'd brought home from the last tour. Ed Roland produced it and sang it, with his brother Dean Roland on rhythm guitar, Ross Childress on lead guitar, Will Turpin on bass and Shane Evans on drums, the best-known lineup the band ever had.
Burnout or not, the riffs are fat and the hooks are sticky. "Heavy" is exactly what it says, a thick, churning grinder, and it gave them another number one on the Mainstream Rock chart, holding the top spot for a record-setting 15 weeks. "Run" picked up broad radio play and landed on the Varsity Blues soundtrack, and years later "Tremble for My Beloved" found a second life in the 2008 film Twilight.
