Their first album with new singer Jasen Moreno. Watch the first two singles here.

Saturday Night:

One Finger And A Fist:

Can't help but feel it's kind of sad what's happened to this band over the years. It was a tragedy what happened to Dave Williams, but they struck gold with Ryan McCombs and for some reason that didn't pan out... and now they're back to square one, I dunno, I can't say I'm feeling their new direction.

Bodies will always be a classic though!

I think people should give Jasen a chance. Saturday Night was a decent, albeit very commercial pop/rock track and whilst I wasn't too keen on OFAAF, weirdly enough their singles are rarely the strongest cuts on their albums.

I'm looking forward to the album. They've never done a bad one yet. There really isn't another rock band out there quite like Drowning Pool.

Drowning Pool - 37 Stitches in The WHEB Studio

Fucking beautiful.

Jasen certainly knows how to nail their back catalogue.

^^ 37 Stiches was one of their best tunes with Ryan McCombs. The new chap doesn't do a bad job on that, I have to admit.

Might listen to the album when it streams online.

Anytime Anyplace:

Well, the albums leaked. Listening to it now for the first time.

So far, so good.

Hmmm, think I'm gonna hold off till Monday before I listen to it.

What's your verdict so far?

It's better than I expected actually. It's heavier than the last few records and not as commercial as the singles would lead you to believe. Jasen does a fine job throughout, not sure if I would put him up there with Dave Williams or Ryan McCombs, but he's a good fit for this album and certainly better than the singer they had on their second album.

I hope he sticks around and the band can start to form some kind of natural singer/band chemistry again.

I need to cope this soon
