Sinner is the debut studio album by the American rock band Drowning Pool, released on June 5, 2001, by Wind-up Records. It is considered to be the band's most popular album, being certified platinum in the same year that it was released. This was due at least in part to "Bodies" which remains the band's most well-known song. This is the only studio album by the band to feature original lead singer Dave Williams. While touring in support of Sinner, he died on August 14, 2002, from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The album debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200 chart. Drowning Pool released a reissue of the album called the "Unlucky 13th Anniversary Edition" in 2014.[8] The album was put at no. 25 on Metal Descent's list "The 25 Best Alternative Metal Albums".[9] Their songs "Mute", "Told You So", and "Reminded" were featured on Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge.
