Desensitized is the second studio album by American rock 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 Jones. The album debuted at number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart.
The album cover features porn star Jesse Jane. Desensitized shows less nu metal elements than Drowning Pool's previous album, Sinner.
Jones left the band soon after the album's release because of personal and musical differences. "Step Up” is the only song from Desensitized that is played live during today's performances. "Step Up" was featured in the 2004 film The Punisher and was the theme song for WWE's WrestleMania XX. It was also featured in the compilation album MTV2 Headbangers Ball, Vol. 2.
Writing for the album began in 2003. Recording began towards the end of the year and was finished in March 2004.[ citation needed]
Jason Jones said most of his songs are about the struggle when he was living as a homeless man "People were like, 'Look at this fucking homeless guy,'" "It's a struggle, man, and a lot of my songs are about the struggle." [7]
Of "Cast Me Aside", Jason Jones remarked: "You get a rash of calls from people you haven't heard from in 10-12 years who are suddenly wanting to kick it again. I was like "Where the fuck were you?" You know... that whole shit of everyone loves you when you're on top kinda thing." [8]
All tracks are written by S. Benton, J. Jones, M. Luce, and C. J. Pierce
