Drowning Pool

Heavy, chugging guitars break in at the most cathartic moments as the members of Drowning Pool dig their way through nu-metal suffering and angst. Nicely produced, with all the signifying points of the genre dropping in smoothly: electronic squiggles, samples, and male shrieking. The self-obsessed choruses come on like Alice in Chains throwing a temper tantrum. Heavy, tattooed rock makes the perfect companion for videotapes of your wildest spring break adventures.
