Free Music Review: Excellent & Powerful album that stands out from the pack
Hit: 5 Stars
Drowning Pool's 2001 debut is perhaps one of the most underrated, under appreciated and unrecognized albums of the decade. The strong fan base was there and still listens, but with the death of lead singer Dave Williams in 2002, the garnered steam that was launching this band out in front of the pack suddenly stalled. Drowning pool went from almost a household name to an afterthought in many musical circles. While bands like Godsmack, Disturbed, and System of a Down kept climbing the charts, the rest of us were left wondering what might have been with Drowning Pool.
Regardless, it doesn't take away from the intricate mixture of gripping vocals, heavy guitars and groovy beats that create an atmospheric yet simple style that stays with you long after you stop listening.
The title track opens the album and has some superb vocals that are epic and vast reaching through a forefront of heavy guitars. Despite being less than three minutes long, the song has some depth as well as bite and is one of my favorite on the whole album. "Bodies" is the next track and is a signature single from the band. The chorus chants "let the bodies hit the floor" gave them some supreme notoriety in metal and rock circles at the time of its release, and is well on its way to being a classic rock anthem. Track four is "All over me" and is another great single that stands out. Driven with a powerful guitar part, the lyrics and tempo of the song are catchy yet intense at the same time.
If your looking for an overall great record that can execute harsh, intense sounds as well as progressive metal style approaches but retain a varied structure of lyrics and overall great musicianship, then look into Sinner by Drowning Pool. 11 songs in all, there isn't a bad track on the album. I feel this was a band that despite moving on with another lead singer could have become a great overall rock/metal band going into the rest of this decade. This listener will miss knowing what future music Dave Williams and Drowning Pool might have brought to the table.
Free Music Review: Drowning Pool's Debut into the Nu-metal scene
Hit: 4 Stars
The first time I ever heard of Drowning Pool was during a WWF live event in 2004 when their song 'Bodies' headlined a LIVE wrestling event. I found the song to be catchy and a cleverly designed song. So I went ahead earlier this year and purchased the entire album 'Sinner' from Amazon.com. After listening to this delightful album a number of times it is time for me to share my feelings on this nu-metal band.
Firstly the artwork is pretty interesting and different. The girl looks alittle like Amy Lee of Evanescence at first. The scope of the album pretty much matches the artcover, the mood of this album ranges from discussing religion in earnest in the first song 'Sinner' to relationships in 'All Over Me' and 'Reminded'. The better songs of this album are 'Bodies', 'Mute' and 'Follow'. 'Bodies' quickly became a moshpit favourite in concerts and dancefloors and 'Follow' became a BBQ song to be played with a loop with friends.
Drowning Pool is a band with promise. The band had a death in the lead singer after this album so this album pretty much is the original sound of Drowning Pool. The later albums have a new sound and atmosphere. (See my Desensitized review). I like this Drowning Pool sound best.
Fans of Staind, Linkin Park, Godsmack and Dishwalla will like the offerings of this album. Check it out, you will be surprised to find you like the songs and the sound of Drowning Pool's debut album.
Free Music Review: Nu metal at it's best
Hit: 5 Stars
I love Drowning Pool. Even if I am a metalhead(Kataklysm, Nile, In Flames, Dark Throne, Dimmu Borgir etc) I still love this band. The leader singer just...to put it bland...rocks! His voice never gets annoying like a few bands(Otep, Limp Bizkit, Audioslave) Great CD. Now here's the track by track.
1. Sinner - 5/5 - Used to be my favorite. Lost interest but still deserves a 5/5 because the song is so beautifully played.
2. Bodies - 3/5 - Overrated too much. The chorus gets on my nerves horribly but I'll listen to it every once and a while
3. Tearing Away - 5/5 - Awesome song. That guitar sounds pretty clean and nice. You gotta download this if you don't have the CD
4. All Over Me - 4/5 - Great track but the chorus lyrics are stupid.
5. Reminded - 4/5 - Pretty good song. Love that intro.
6. Pity - 5/5 - Awesome song. I like the "served on a plate...for all of you to eat" Second best song on this CD
7. Mute - 2/5 - Meh...snore. Not worth downloading if you must download the cd.
8. I Am - 1/5 - Horrible. Bad. The musicianship is good but the singing is gross. It's like the lyrics faded out.
9. Follow 10/5 - This is why this Cd gets 5 stars. Because of this song. This song is just...F#$%%ING GREAT! You MUST have this!
10. Told You So - 5/5 - Love the intro. Good song, telling everyone to shut up.
11. Sermon - 4/5 - Sounds to me like a religious song in the beginning. I don't believe in a god(no I'm not a satanist, I'm an evolutionist) and well that's what ruins it. Other then that it's pretty good.
One thing about this CD is how the lyrics get worse over time. Start at Sinner then skip to I Am and Follow. Then go back to Sinner. See the difference? Yeah that pissed me off. If you need to download this album, save your hardrive space by only downloading: "Follow" "Sinner" "Reminded" "Tearing Away" "Pity" and "Told You So"
Overall it's a great nu-metal CD...coming from a metal head!
Free Music Review: Am I the only one who realizes how bad they really are?
Hit: 1 Stars
This band sucks! There is no other way to say it! Give me a second and I will provide you with all their lyrics..."Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor, one, nothing's wrong with me, two, nothing's wrong with me, one, something's got to give, two, something's got to give, reminded of you, reminded of you, all over me, all over me, Pizza Pizza". I got this CD a few years ago because I didn't know much about music and didn't know any better. I seriously think I lost brain cells every time I listened to it. The lyrics are weak, the music is not catchy, nothing stands out, it's booooooorrrrrrrrrring!!!!! The only thing this disc does for me is make me want to shoot myself in the head with a nail gun. Drowning Pool is just a bunch of posers who think they have talent, think they are hard core, when in fact they are not. Beethoven would have puked if you told him this was music. Listen to bands that actually have talent and actually write good music. Ex., Deftones, Tool, Incubus, Lacuna Coil, System of a Down, Dream Theater, 10 Years, In Flames...I could go on. For anyone who gave this worthless piece of junk a five star review because it "rocks all the way through", listen to some of these bands above and compare them to your "amazing drowning pool" before you judge me.
