Drowning pool desensitized full album


Desensitized is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Drowning Pool. It was their first album since the death of vocalist Dave Williams as well as the only album to feature replacement vocalist Jason 'Gong' Jones. The album debuted at number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Contents

The album cover features porn star Jesse Jane. Desensitized shows less nu metal elements than Drowning Pool's previous album Sinner.

Jason left the band soon after the album's release because of personal and musical differences. "Step Up", "Think" and "Hate" are songs from Desensitized that are played during live performances today.

Writing and recording

Writing for the album began in 2003. Recording began towards the end of the year and was finished in March 2004.

Track listing

All tracks written by S. Benton, J. Jones, M. Luce, and C. J. Pierce.
