Summary: In Response to Theo
Review: ...From an honest metal listener...this CD is good. I don't listen to Limpbizkit that much, I don't love them, nor do I hate them. Basically this album to me is where they should have stopped their career. It's got great songs, and they are really original instrumentally. The song structures are either basic or complex, but pretty good, and bassist Sam Rivers does a great job laying down some sticky bass lines that move the song along. If you like speed metal or 80's metal like Pantera/Slayer/whatnot, then no, you probably won't like this. Get it into your head that its a completely different genre and those two shouldn't be compared. This is Nu-metal where it began (along with Korn's "Korn" and Deftones' "Adrenaline") and if you don't like Nu-Metal that's good for you, I don't like Heavy Metal.

Summary: Not entirely terrible
Review: This album, now a rap-rock classic in the sense that it really was a milestone for the style and period, proves to be a somewhat rocky ride six years after its release. While persistant anti-anything-that's-popular underground elitists will never stop insulting and putting down this record, the careful and attentive listener will clear their mind of preconceived expectations and in doing so, will discover that the instrumentalists present here not only are quite competent both technically and compositionally, but the wear their influences well. Check out "Stalemate" for some subtle yet tricky drum licks played against a flowingly melodic guitar line. The previous track, "Sour," boasts a few not-so-simple licks that aren't immediately obvious to the ear as well. "Indigo Flow" does what the title says and in fact is a rather soothing tune up until the loud, brash guitar kicks in. Despites its up points, many of the louder guitar-driven sections never become more than just noise. "Pollution" harnesses the anger in its lyrics pretty well but the dirty distortion in the guitars does drag it down. One of the few spots on the album where the grating guitars do work favorably is the track "Nobody Loves Me." The rhythm section of Limp Bizkit is its saving grace; as Wes, Sam and company pound away with hidden skill while Fred Durst whines, screams, rhymes and ninnies his way around the beats and basically takes his backup band for granted. Who knows what could have happened had Limp Bizkit continued moving in the direction they display here?

Review: By listening to this CD you've just become a slave to society! Congratulations! You probably get called a skank or skeg at school but don't care. Sound like you? I used to listen to Limp Bizkit, before I had a personality of my own. THERE IS BETTER MUSIC IN THE WORLD. Go and spend your daddy's money on something better. I recommend Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory Oh, what's that? You've never heard of that band or that CD? It sounds like an awfully long, gay name, right? This is the best metal you'll never hear. How do you know it's no good if you've never heard it? Oh thats right, you don't. LB is not music, its bad pop culture refined in audio form. For christ's sake, if you're reading this, open up Kazaa and download these songs (then buy the CDs) Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes
Dream Theater - The Glass Prison
Pain of Salvation - Used
Pain of Salvation - Rope Ends Do yourself a favour people. People who listen to rap music will have no life.

Summary: What was and what should've been
Review: Limp Bizkit's latter releases, Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish, have become nothing compared to this debut album. The songs here are almost all good; as they offer a perfect mix between noble lyrics and rap-metal sound. Other reviewers think Durst's lyrics are weak and foolhardy. But if you really listen to the music you'll be (at least) mildly impressed. Even though 'Faith' helped boost sales for the CD, it's not the only good song. In fact, it's very different compared with the other tracks and their sound. Notwithstanding, there are a few ineffectual (not bad) tracks on Three Dollar Bill Y'all. And even with those few choice tracks, the fact that the album is much better than their next two make it a definite must-have. With that, here's an overview of the 13 songs: 1. Intro - ?/5 - of Limp Bizkit's two other intros (and outros), this is probably the best. Still, it's only an introduction. 2. Pollution - 4.5/5 - this is really an amazing song. Everything with it is awesome: the words, the sound, it's all good. The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is the end. The way Fred shouts 'back' over and over becomes a little annoying. Even so that was probably intended. 3. Counterfeit - 5/5 - in all likelihood, this is LB's best song. It's their most well-rounded anyways. The chorus, 'you figured me out / you wear a mask / cold counterfeit / you figured me out / you were a... fake', is great. You won't find words like that anymore. 4. Stuck - 5/5 - this could also be considered the band's best song. But I think it's variations in lyrics and music make it hard for some people to like. However, the lyrics are awesome; to the point of almost hilarious. This is probably my favorite track on the CD. 5. Nobody Loves Me - 3.5/5 - again, the ending takes away from the impressiveness this track has to offer. I love the 'you think you're better than me? / you suck!' climactic scream and 'shut up' beginning. But the quiet, no-rock end makes it weak. 6. Sour - 4/5 - this track represents the most rap on Three Dollar Bill Y'all. And that's okay. Had they tried to reproduce this track a few times, it might've become unpleasant. Nevertheless it easily stands out as a hidden gem. 7. Stalemate - 3/5 - the slow start probably takes away from the fact that 'Stalemate' is a pretty good song. Fred's voice does become a bit annoying, but that's mostly because the background music is too repetitive. The end here is a relief. 8. Clunk - 3.5/5 - this track is slightly better than the last, but it doesn't quite balance with some of the previous songs. The lyrics are excellent and the mid-part (almost) spoken by Fred is, believe it or not, enjoyable. And again, the end could've been better. 9. Faith - 5/5 - despite what many people think, this is not a Limp Bizkit song. It's actually a George Michael cover (that's right, George Michael). But the twist of rock and rap changes it so much that it becomes a Limp Bizkit classic and a recognized fan-favorite. 10. Stink Finger - 3/5 - although this track is pretty original and as rockin' as it gets for LB, it's rather average compared to either 'Counterfeit' or even 'Sour'. It might be, along with track seven, the weakest track on the album. 11. Indigo Flow - 4/5 - I actually like this song. It's basically a shout-out to everyone and everything that influenced the band; including the Deftones, drinking, Fear Factory, Korn, and of course... God. Without the turntable ending it would've been nothing. 12. Leech - 5/5 - this is the definitive hidden gem on Three Dollar Bill Y'all. Although it is said to be a demo version, it is just as good and even better than a few of the CD's other tracks. If it was more than just two minutes it might've been more accepted. 13. Everything - 3.5/5 - this 16-minute closer doesn't really finish out the album with a loud bang, but it's a bang nonetheless. The lyrics are amazing and the music is unlike anything else on the disc. It's kind of slow (and long); which might be why it isn't so prominent. Unlike Limp Bizkit's other two CDs, this one does not have a true bad song. And in my opinion, Three Dollar Bill Y'all has their three best songs of all-time: 'Counterfeit', 'Stuck', and yes, 'Faith'. The lyrics are perfectly unique throughout; and their sound is at the top of its game. Even though their next two releases have been depressingly short of good (compared to this one), these 13 tracks can easily make up for that if you are a fan. I could probably give this album 4 stars and still feel like I'd done the band justice. But since there's too many people who don't understand and/or comprehend Limp Bizkit, I'll give it five. This is, undoubtedly, THE place to start if you are looking to become a Limp Bizkit fan. And if you consider yourself a LB fan (already) and you don't own this recording, buy it.

Summary: Bizkit, Bizkit, BIZKIT!!
Review: They simply just rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1)Intro - Just an intro, not rated. 2)Pollution - This song is pretty good, but you'll get bored very quick with Fred yelling "back" the entire end of the song, good thing the others told him to shut up. Other than that stuff at the end, all-out cool. 10/10 3)Counterfeit - This one's the first hit Limp ever recorded. It's heavy and cool, but still isn't as good a hit as Faith is. 8/10 4)Stuck - Much like Counterfeit, only it's more agressive and has more importance for DJ Lethal. Lethal has to be the best turntable worker in the world. 9/10 5)Nobody Loves Me - More aggressive than Stuck, this is one of the heaviest songs recorded by Limp. Only problem is that it's too aggressive. But still my favourite song. 10/10+ 6)Sour - Here's where Wes Borland struts his stuff with the guitar, and DJ Lethal once again makes a stunning show with the turntables. Fred, was your ex-gf really like that? Well, you did good Fred. 9/10 7)Stalemate - Although I've listened to Stalemate before, I've only listened to it once, so I can't remember if it was cool or not. ?/10 8)Clunk - This song is pretty sweet, especially the chorus with the special vocal effect. 7/10 9)Faith - As far as Faith goes, like I said earlier, this song is certainly better than Counterfeit. That hidden track at the end was a waste of time I think, cool song. 9/10 10)Stink Finger - Another song revolving around anger. Quick and cool. 10/10 11)Indigo Flow - I thought this was good until I heard Significant Other's Show Me What You Got. So this song isn't very good, but still better than that Intro. 8/10 12)Leech(Demo Version) - Even though it's a demo version, I think this should be the real version. The Heaviest song and my 2nd favourite song. 10/10 13)Everything - Cool, effect at the beginning, but the rest of the song, you cannot understand. However, you can recognize the stiff at the end. 4.5/10 for the length.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Great debut album, although I recommend Significant Other or Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water.

Summary: An Honest Review
Review: ... Here's the real deal to me... I listen to a lot of metal (Pantera, Machine Head, Sepultura, Shadows Fall, In Flames) and I really don't think its a bad CD. The production is terrible thanks to Ross Robinson, but otherwise this is a pretty honest CD from a band that has become the equivalent of n'sync. As a band, Limp Bizkit are pretty tight (minus Fred). Wes Borland is a good guitarist, nothing groundbreaking. The rythym section shines though. Sam Rivers lays down some good tracks that carry a few of the songs pretty well such as "Stuck." And John Otto...I gotta say, this guy really ranks up there, I'm serious. I read he played jazz before joining these guys, and it shows. He really is a good drummer. The songs here are definitely the "heaviest" out of their three CD's. I think "Counterfeit", "Pollution", and "Stalemate" are the best on here. The riff's are good, the song structures too. So, yeah, go ahead and think you're cool and diss LB, but this isn't a bad CD. I basically wrote this to all the cool "metal" guys who think they know everything because they listen to Slayer, Megadeth blah, blah, blah. If you don't like it, fine. But don't compare this to them, this isn't speed metal, its Mallcore, plain and simple. That is all.

Summary: (c)rap
Review: I suppose being once taken in by the look and "hipness" of Bizkit makes me worthy of writing a review for one of their products, having bought the Cd. This is by far their best album, stratopheres above "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot-Doggy Flavored Water" and equally better than the album before it. Yet, although catchy at times,and showcasing a decent scream, Durst and his background noise provided by a bass, drums and a guitar, lack for talent. The lyrics too, had they been raised to a ninth-grade level, could have provoked much deeper feelings than Durst's inane 'rapping" and whiny singing. If you're somehwere in the 11 to 14-year-old range, and wish to prove your "hardcore" solidarity for a "hardcore" rock band, buy this album. If you don't know what solidarity means, don't worry; Fred Durst doesn't either. In fact, he'll be right on your level.

Summary: Bisuit - Behind the "music"
Review: Like on that famous tv show, I will give a brief history of limp biscuit. There was this guy who had a job entertaining kids dressed in a purple suit, but he was so angry he actually decided to form a group (notice I did not say "band"). He turned on Mtv and he saw an N'Sync video and his lightbulb went off. He had found his calling. So he gathered some guys, gave them instruments to pose with and pretend they were actually playing, and off he was. This is his first attempt, but it failed miserably. Why? Because he wanted to hide his actual inspiration (n'sync) and make it look like he was "tough", you know, just like Danny was the "tough one" in New Kids on the Block. But he wanted everyone in the group to be "tough" and it just doesn't work. You need to have the cute one, the old one, the young one, the naive one, etc. If all the members put on this fake act of toughness, your fan base will not get it. They are all toddlers. They need the sweet and the sour, you know what I mean? Remember, YOU are jaded and angry, but the kids are not!! You are turning them off. Hopefully, next time around you will show your true colors, and let's see some smiles from the guys while they pose and jump around with their instruments. Believe me, if you do that, you will have a much better chance of coming back strong. The only thing that did keep you around that long was the fact that in spite of your "tough" exterior and grimacing, the actual "music" was really poppy, catchy and sweet. But, remember- looks are actually more important for toddlers than the music itself. Keep that in mind.
