 (8 Customer Reviews)
When Drowning Pool lead singer Dave Williams was found dead on the group's tour bus in 2002, fans and critics alike assumed that the remaining members would call it a day. Fortunately, bassist Stevie Benton, drummer Mike Luce, and guitarist C.J. Pierce regrouped with new vocalist Jason "Gong" Jones and delivered this fierce sophomore disc. Jones's vocal style is markedly different than that of his predecessor, but no less effective. In fact, the new singer's deep, Layne Staley-meets-Phil Anselmo shouting is a near-perfect match for the hooky, highly rhythmic riffs that are Drowning Pool's stock-in-trade. On alternative-rock-leaning tracks such as "Step Up" and "Bringing Me Down," Jones proves he can carry a melody with the best of them, often sounding like a tougher Dave Grohl or Bob Mould. A testament to the group's strength in the face of adversity, DESENSITIZED rocks with the intensity of men who have seen the dark side and returned to tell about it.

Q (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Jason Jones' voice makes Frank Butcher sound soprano, and the Metallica-esque 'Think' and 'Nothingness' are roaringly effective."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Better than Expected
I purchased this cd in the beginning just for the hit single "Step up" and after i heard the whole cd i was shocked how good it was seeing how it was a new singer and all but man i really recommend this cd to anyone who likes "Step up" or is a fan of the original drowning pool or a fan of hard rock.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Old Singer Was Way Better
This is a good CD but the old singer of Drowning Pool was way better.

A problem with bands that have been on the scene for over 40 years (count 'em) is that they can sometimes still write songs with titles like "The Beat Goes On" and "Buried Alive," as if those tropes hadn't lost their edge several decades ago. On the other hand, when a band has played together for four decades its members have often learned one of rock & roll's great lessons: how to create maximum groove with minimal ingredients. So when the Pretty Things lay down a song as thunderous as "Livin' in My Skin," they do so with the ponderous grace and inexorable momentum of an elephant walking to water. They've also been around long enough to have heard some of their source material at the source, which means that they can deliver an ancient Delta blues like "Feel Like Going Home" with a certain arch authority. (And if you want more cowbell, these guys can deliver that with authority as well -- check out the raunchy period piece "Mimi.") On the downside, they sometimes abuse their elder-statesmen status to impose eight minutes of two-chord vamp on their hapless listeners ("[Blues For] Robert Johnson"), and the title track, which closes the album, does so with much more of a whimper than a bang. Not bad at all, but unless you're a die-hard fan you'll want to be a little selective. ~ Rick Anderson
Balboa Island is the legendary British Rock group The Pretty Things’ long awaited 11th studio album in a 43-year recording career. Their first CD release in over eight years, it is already regarded by many as on par with their very greatest 1960s and 70s recordings. From the stadium sized Rock of “All Light Up” through the raw acoustic guitar blues of “Feel Like ...
