I somewhat agree with the other reviewer about Limp Bizkit. I feel that when Wes Borland left, they lost some of their edge. This usually happens when one member leaves a group - the chemistry changes and usually, not for the better. An example of that is Limp Bizkit.

I hate the term "nu-metal". This is simply metal with a very big hip-hop influence. It works extremely well, the hip-hop inspired beats and bounce with metal riffs. It's easy to see why "Nu-Metal" became as big as what it did.

LB's albums are however, very "sign-o-the-times". They're still good but lose some of the impact listening back to them now. I think "Chocolate Starfish" is the one most people will know as it was the big one. Obviously "Rollin" getting to number one here in the UK damaged their cred somewhat but hey, it is a good tune. I must say though, the production on "Chocolate Starfish" is absolutely superb, it's incredibly well mastered too. It really kicks hard and has a great crunchy sound.

Personally for me though, "Significant Other" is the killer LP. It's basically "$3 bill" re riffed, but that itself is a good album. It's a very consistent LP.

The latest offerings have been somewhat disappointing. I hope LB can get back to the way they were, but like i said earlier, i think they've had their time.

Is it any wonder that people completely lost interest in LB ?
There wasn't too much creativity to begin with, but they were able to sell millions of albums anyway, at least during the late 90s and very early 00s. George Michael covers, nookie/cookie rhymes, remix albums featuring rappers ? Yes, there was plenty of that, but just like in case of Bloodhound Gang (who at least are less serious) the joke is over. Boys are all grown up and tasteless jokes and Fred Durst sexual escapades are no longer interesting to anyone. Its about time to hang up.
