Desensitized is the second studio album by the American rock band Drowning Pool. It was their first album since the death of vocalist Dave Williams as well as the only album to feature replacement vocalist Jason 'Gong' Jones. The album debuted at number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart.
The album cover features porn star Jesse Jane. Desensitized shows less nu metal elements than Drowning Pool's previous album Sinner.
Jason left the band soon after the album's release because of personal and musical differences. "Step Up" is the only song from the album that is still played during live performances.
