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.〔Katie Hasty, ("After Five-Year Absence, UGK Scores First No. 1 Album" ), Billboard.com, August 15, 2007.〕 As of September 12, 2007, the album has sold around 29,000 copies in the United States. 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. 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". The album was self funded. Ryan McCombs explains "Yeah, we fought for a while to get off of our former record label, Wind-Up. Nothing personal against them, just they came right out and even said they didn’t really want to be in the metal business anymore. They wanted Drowning Pool but they didn’t want us to sound like Drowning Pool. So, it was just time for us to split ways, and we fought to do that for a while. We also ended up splitting ways with our management, too. We just decided that we wanted to start over with a completely fresh, clean slate. So, by doing that we didn’t have any backing whatsoever. So we went into the studio and we cut the album ourselves. We’d go up and play a show here or there every weekend if possible to help fund it. Yeah, we funded the album ourselves, and then used it to go shopping."〔http://www.revolvermag.com/uncategorized/web-exclusive-interview-drowing-pool-vocalist-ryan-mccombs-on-thieves-liars.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Full Circle (Drowning Pool album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
