Full Circle is the third album from heavy metal band Drowning Pool, released on August 7, 2007. It is their first of two studio releases with Ryan McCombs, then former singer of SOiL, who joined the band after the departure of Jason 'Gong' Jones in 2005. This album has a less heavy post-grunge-oriented sound compared to the band's previous studio album, Desensitized. The first single off the album, "Soldiers," is dedicated to the United States Army.
The album debuted at number 64 on the United States Billboard 200, selling about 10,000 copies in its first week.[3] As of September 12, 2007, the album has sold around 29,000 copies in the United States.[4]
Four singles were released to promote the album. The final single "Shame" was released June 29, 2009 almost two years after the album's release. The album wasn't very commercially successful, but was received positively by fans. Drowning Pool embarked on several tours to promote Full Circle.
Writing and recording
Full Circle is the only studio album by Drowning Pool with more than 11 tracks; it has 13. McCombs said that "Shame" was one of his favorite songs from the album.[citation needed] The entire band contributed to the album's writing process, as well as including an outside writer, Nikki Sixx who wrote a song for the band, entitled "Reason I'm Alive", which made it on the album. The album also includes a cover of Billy Idol's song "Rebel Yell".
