Drowning Pool is the eponymous fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Drowning Pool. It was released on April 27, 2010[3] and marks the band's first album not to feature a new singer, as Ryan McCombs remained with Drowning Pool from their 2007 release.

The song "Feel Like I Do" has been released as a digital single. It reflects a tough period in McCombs' life during which he went through a divorce, moved out of his home and lost his father.[4] Fans who preordered the album received a download of the single as well as the second single "Turn So Cold" starting April 13, 2010.[5] According to Blabbermouth.net, Drowning Pool's self-titled album sold 12,000 copies in its first week, earning it the #35 spot on the Billboard 200, up from the #64 reached by Full Circle in 2007.

The album has two singles to promote the album so far. The First Being "Feel Like I Do" and "Turn So Cold", both reached Top 10 in Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.

In late 2010, the band announced that they will record a music video for every song of the album.[6]

It has also been said that the new single of the album is Regret. Being released sometime in 2011.
