Lyrics
My personal favorite on the CD is "Break Stuff", which is just beginning to get some airtime. One listen to this song and not only will you be able to identify with what they are saying, you'll want to go beat someone up…. a good thing in my book. I also like "I'm Broke", which hits close to home with me since I am, in fact broke. I also liked the use of the extras that come on the CD. Before several of the songs, you hear the band cutting up (i.e. break stuff where they are breaking stuff). I was especially fond of Matt Pinfield's exposition dealing with the faggy guy band craze and how its killing music at the end of the CD…. this alone makes the CD cool (just a note you have to let the last song play all the way through to get to this). And of course you've got the CD's released hits "Nookie" and "Re-Arranged" and "N 2 Gether Now" which features a guest appearance by Method Man.
When I hear a CD like this, I wonder how a band is going to make something better to follow it up. I hope, however, that they do (An Example? Third Eye Blind… loved their old CD but the new one beats it hands down…I'll review it next month). I've not looked into tours yet this summer, but my hope to go see them in concert sometime. It is my suspicion that their stage presence is much stronger than the music you hear. My advice to you? Go out and buy this CD, its well worth the money.
"I'm not just an artist of Interscope Records, I'm the Vice-President." These might be words you'd hear from Limp Bizkit's front man Fred Durst being that he is now both a recording artist and V.P. of the new label. Fred and the band have come a long way in a short time racking up a 1999 Grammy® Award and 1999 American Music Award Nomination for their CD "Significant Other". And you know what, it deserves every award it can get. This CD kicks some serious ass. When I heard Kid Rock's CD I thought Limp would give us a lot of the same thing. A few hard songs and the rest filled in with cheap rap lines. This is not the case. Some of the cheap rap lines are there, but they are filled in with hard core music making it worth it.
