===''Give Out But Don't Give Up'' (1992β1995)=== The band began work on their fourth album in Roundhouse Studios in London in September 1992. In March 1994, the first single from the new album, "[[Rocks (song)|Rocks]]", was released. It was the band's highest-charting single to date, reaching number seven on the UK charts.<ref name=":0" /> The single was not received well, with ''NME'' calling them "dance traitors".<ref name="uncut"/> The album ''[[Give Out But Don't Give Up]]'' was released in May to mixed reviews. Whereas some praised the band's new [[the Rolling Stones]]-influenced sound,<ref>[http://www.theprimalscream.org/press/select-giveoutrev.html On a Jagger Tip!]. Published in ''[[Select (magazine)|Select]]''. Retrieved 31 December 2007.</ref> some dismissed the album as tired and drawing too heavily on their influences.<ref>{{cite web|last=Thomas |first=Stephen |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/give-out-but-dont-give-up-mw0000111048 |title=Give out but Don't Give Up - Primal Scream : Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards |website=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=17 June 2013}}</ref> Two more singles were released from the album, "Jailbird" and "(I'm Gonna) Cry Myself Blind", both of which charted progressively lower. While touring in support of the album, relations within the band began to wear down. The band's American tour, when they supported [[Depeche Mode]], was, in the words of manager Alex Nightingale, "the closest we've come to the band splitting up."<ref name="uncut"/> After the completion of the tour, the band remained quiet for a long period of time. Gillespie later remarked that he was unsure if the band would continue. The only release during this period was a single, "The Big Man and the Scream Team Meet the Barmy Army Uptown", a collaboration with [[Irvine Welsh]] and [[On-U Sound]], which caused controversy due to offensive lyrics about [[Rangers F.C.]] and their fan base.<ref name="uncut"/>
