The band has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, sold 40 million records worldwide, and won several other awards. Borland's elaborate visual appearance, which includes face and body paint, masks and uniforms, also plays a large role in Limp Bizkit's live shows. The band's music is marked by Durst's angry vocal delivery and Borland's sonic experimentation. Its lineup consists of Fred Durst (lead vocals), Sam Rivers (bass, backing vocals), John Otto (drums, percussion), DJ Lethal (turntables), and Wes Borland (guitars, vocals). Does it still hold up? Check out the review and find out.Limp Bizkit is an American rap rock band from Jacksonville, Florida. So up now on is the review You Picked! Slaughter’s ‘Stick It To Ya’ from 1990. I know I posted this album a few weeks ago but we did a review on it.
It was a beast of an album with little to no missteps. It also had the song with the most “F” words included with at least 46 in the song “Hot Dog”. The album saw 5 singles including “My Generation”, “My Way” and “Boiler”. But the pinnacle for me on this one is “Rollin'” which is super heavy, super angry and super aggressive. The song incorporates the MI theme song into its music.

I really like the song “Take a Look Around” which was used in the Mission Impossible 2 movie at the time. Which it was, but better produced and some better songs. This album saw them push themselves, but saw critics thinking this was more of the same. As quick as they rose, after this album, they would fall just as fast. The band still went to #1 and still sold over 6 million albums in the US alone. This is where the band started feeling the hate as the haters started to come out in droves. The pinnacle of the band for me is their third album and the last with Wes Borland for several years at least. #1 – CHOCOLATE STARFISH & THE HOT DOG FLAVORED WATER (2000): I don’t even have a favorite song on it and that is the truth. This album definitely put the “Limp” in Limp Bizkit. I am fine with a band trying new things, but this didn’t work. Fred Durst felt lifeless and empty and the only thing I could think was they need to get some better beats and a better rhyme. What I like about the band, the aggressive music, Borland’s showmanship, the beats and the rhymes were all absent. and it felt like some prog-metal, nu-metal mash up that is much darker and way more experimental than anything else they have done. The promotion was practically nil as it was released as an “underground” album and that is where it should’ve stayed. Wes Borland, lead guitarist, had left the band after ‘Chocolate Starfish’ and upon his return, the band release this pile of what, I am not sure. THE WORST – THE UNQUESTIONABLE TRUTH: PART 1 (2005): I am not judging the band or its members, just focusing on the music or whatever you want to call it. Anyway, we are going to tackle their studio albums and I will try to let you know which ones I think are the best and in the order I rank them.
It was worse hate than poor Nickelback get for their success. They were all over MTV and a massive success, but that success turned to hate really fast thanks to the controversial Fred. The band was labeled as Nu-Metal and they brought in elements of hip hop, rap, metal, funk and rock. Well back in the late 90’s, there was another reason to hate the “Red” hat and that was because people loved to hate the backwards “red” hat wearing lead singer of Limp Bizkit, Fred Durst. Nowdays, a person wearing a “Red” hat is labeled a racist, Trump supporting pig. I will admit to liking a few songs, but I don’t actually own anything by them so thanks to Apple Music for giving me the means to do a fair assessment without spending any more money that my monthly Apple Membership fee. I am not a huge fan of the band by any means, I am trying to shake things up a little and try different things with my posts and I thought why not really stretch it and tackle Limp Bizkit. I know what you are thinking, all their albums should be labeled the Worst.
