I've always been a Drowning Pool fan and follower since hearing 'Bodies.' Truth is, that was their "hit," and it was impossible as a lover of heavy music not to turn your attention towards the band after hearing it. Sadly, after the untimely death of their vocalist Dave Williams in 2002, things began to go downhill for the Texans. People lost interest, and the band has been faced with the seemingly impossible challenge of retaining a vocalist...

3.5/5 Since the 2002 death of original lead singer Dave Williams, this Texan quartet has endured a revolving door of singers and yet managed to produce consistently killer albums with an unmistakable sound. This continues with album No. 5, featuring vocalist No. 4 in new guy Jasen Moreno. His bark propels stompers like "Anytime Anyplace," "Life of Misery," and "Broken Again," which blow through the front door like an angry bull...

Sound: Powerfull Riffs to shake your fancies. Unique styles from each instrument that come together to bring out their true potential. As in Sinner, Dave Williams vocals is, or was, I should say, (bless his soul), able to yell. However with his passing due to heart disease, Jones delivers more a rugged tone. He has a way with scream, and sooth. Sounds like a smoker, but I digress. Love and War, ballad-ish. Gives even the most hardcore metal lover something to think (or cry) about...

Drowning Pool's new CD could be called the rebirth of the hard rock band, which lost its founding lead singer, David Williams, to heart disease in 2002. The Texans recruited a a new singer in 2004, but that incarnation of the band failed after just one album due to the standard "creative differences." But now Drowning Pool swears the third time's a charm with the addition Ryan McCombs, former vocalist for the band Soil...

Two albums and two frontmen later and Dallas 4-piece Drowning Pool are still trying to match the winning formula that earned them the high kudos of their impossible to dislike debut 'Sinner'...

Sound: When you take a look at Drowning Pool's history, the quartet has seen its share of shake-ups and sadness since forming in 1996. Between the death of vocalist Dave Williams and record label issues, Drowning Pool is a band that has in many ways been the underdogs that you rooted for to see succeed...

Sound: To me, Drowning Pool is basically nothing without thier original singer. It is this album alone that has caught my attention, where as desensitized turned me away from such a promising band. The sound on this CD is like a brutal kick in the balls. C.J. is a hell of a guitar player, one of my favorites. Stevie and Mike hold really well together, some times in sync with each other...

Sound: After the death of original vocalist Dave Williams, Drowning Pool seemed to go through frontman after frontman in an attempt to recapture the same chemistry heard in songs like "Bodies." The guys in Drowning Pool are back with another new vocalist for their latest CD Full Circle, and here's a word to the wise: This one's a keeper...

Sound: Releasing a live CD or DVD has become standard practice for plenty of bands, but in today's industry those concert recordings are becoming much more sanitized during the mixing process. It's not necessarily an uncommon thing for overdubs or other tracks to be added, and some could certainly argue that those tweaks are taking away from the original live quality...
