The band later self-released "The Beacon Street Collection" in March 1995. The same month, Dumont left his job as a file clerk at a mortgage company. He had "a good feeling" about having finished recording "Tragic Kingdom" and planned to fall back on promoting rock concerts if the album was not successful. "Tragic Kingdom" became a commercial success, certified diamond in the United States and selling sixteen million copies worldwide. When Eric left the band, Tom, along with bandmates Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal, took leadership in writing and composing responsibilities.
