Rating: Summary: One word: AWESOME! Review: This is obviously Bizkit's greatest album. Every song is good, from the single "Counterfeit" to the experimental "Stalemate." It represents a good mix of Hardcore/punk and rap. LB gets little respect, though. Here is my opinion of the tracks: Intro: I will not rate this Pollution: A very good song. Probably a 9 of 10 for its screachy guitar at times Counterfeit: Their first single. I love the begining with the soft bass and the "Your freaking me out, you wore a mask counterfeit." Definately 10. Stuck: Good, but nothing memorable. I'd say 6 for how boring it is sometimes. Nobody loves me: Just eat worms! 10 of 10 for odd lyrics and awesome riffs. Sour: A great song where Fred complains about his ex-girlfriend. Has good lyrics, unlike most songs. 10 of 10 without a doubt. Stalemate: This does not sound like Bizkit at all, but I like it anyway. This experimental song gets a 9 for occasional bad sound quality. Clunk: Very heavy, with a nice bass. I love the "Clunk!" that is right in the tune okf the bass in the begining. Probably a 9. Faith: A cover where it starts rather mellow and then Fred starts to scream. The end where fred says "You stereotype me cuz you don't like me" is the part that I think they made up. 9 for a boring ending. Stink finger: My favorite song on the entire album, as well as my favorite song by Limp. Short and sweet. 11! Indigo flow: 0. ...! Leech: A very energetic demo. I love it! My 2nd favorite song on the album. 10 of 10 with no question. Everything: Good, but WAY TOO LONG! 16 minutes is a LONG SONG. 9 and ΒΌ for its length. So, you like Limp Biz? If so, another good band to check out would be Reveille.
Rating: Summary: limp bizkit's only good album ! Review: I hate limp bizkit with a passion and i actullie was into them but ever since they starting to go downhill cd after cd i was like? screw this !I gave 4 starts because i hate the gay pop song "faith" that song blows!!!The rest of the album is fine tho! My fav songs ? mm "stuck" , "polution" , "counterfeet" , "stink finger" , " clunk" , and "indigo flow" all are very very great tracks that i used to cherish and some times still do but i can't stand limp bizkit now! Limp bizkit sucks!!! PS: the song "counterfeet" was great because i actullie thought that Fred was not a counterfeet and that he was honest and would never sell himself out but boy was i wrong ? Fred, your the counterfeet dude... Freddurst is a disgrace!!!!! Laters!!!
Rating: Summary: Pretty good...what happened? Review: Well, i really think that Limp Bizkit used to be a good band back when this CD came out. This CD has some great music, but somewhere along the line, they got the idea that they were better than everyone else and started putting out sh#t. I understand that it's very easy to get wrapped up in the indrustry, but these guys got overboard after awhile. I reccomend this one, but don't waste your hard earned cash on any other "Bizkit" albums.
Rating: Summary: Bad and sad Review: My son made me listen to this. While I'm glad he was willing to share his interests, I have to say this is really awful. Really. Kids these days a so unfortunate. They don't get any good music or culture and they use this junk to fill the void. I don't even think my son likes it, I think he just wants to be popular. Isn't that sad? If only kids had music like Buffalo Springfield, which expressed angst and outrage in a sophisticated manner, instead of this destructive, ugly, hateful waste.
Rating: Summary: Health Warning Review: Yes Apparently repeated listening causes impotence. Seriously though this is thye apex of Limp Bizkits art, if you can call it that. Difficult to absorb in one sitting yet devoid of any underlying integrity this is an album that will sit umcomfortably in your collection. Until the day your girlfriend drops you for owning it. Take my advice buy Gentle Giants "Power and the Glory" and see just how drastically Limp Bizkit have failed in their artistic vision. Anyone showing this band sympathy should consider their reasons and question their self esteem. Avoid at all costs.
Rating: Summary: Promising debut album from a future superband Review: First off, I know rap/rock has gotten a bad rap from idiot rock purists, but let me remind you that if R&B and blues didn't get together, there wouldn't be any rock and roll. Enough of that, on to the album. Limp Bizkit and their mentors Korn would launch the second wave of rap and funk influenced bands on the music world with their debut Three Dollar Bill Y'all. This is plain FUNKY! Aside from their big hit Faith, there is great material on this album. Limp are what the Red Hot Chili Peppers use to be before they became sensitive. Even though they would become bigger with their next two albums, Significant Other(their best and my favorite) and Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water, this one captures their raw energy. Go get it!
Rating: Summary: The only decent LB cd Review: Three Dollar Bill is the only cd where Fred Durst actually writes some decent rhymes, whereas on Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish he just throws out meaningless sentences and insults. It's also the only one where there is some real feeling behind the songs, not like now where Durst tries to act all depressed and fails miserably. In fact when Significant Other came out that was when I really began to despise Durst, though I never really cared for the dude to begin with. Don't get me wrong though, I enjoy LB's music but they need to get a new frontman. Every song on this cd though is entertaining not to mention rockin' in every sense of the word. To be honest this is by far their heaviest cd, and even though Durst drowns out his screams (what a dork) he does scream for a moderately long time sometimes. My favorite songs are "Pollution," "Counterfeit," "Stuck," "Nobody Loves Me," and "Leech." A lot of you are probably asking, "Why isn't 'Faith' in your list?" Well, there's a simple reason for that, because it was majorly overplayed. The song is decent but I've heard it so many times I'm just burned out by it. I highly recommend that if you want to buy a LB cd this one should be the ONLY one you buy. Significant Other is their worst cd, and Chocolate Starfish is almost as heavy as this one but it has the worst lyrics. Don't even bother with New Old Songs because that's just a throwaway remix album. If Fred Durst wouldn't have become such a greedy SOB like he is now LB would sound just as good as they do on this album.
Rating: Summary: This Rules Review: Oh my god! This is the most amazing heavy metal album ever! So brutal, and yet so technical! Wes Borland is the most amazing guitarist I've ever heard. His solos are so fast and complex, he makes Yngwie and Eddie Van Halen look bad. Sam River's bass playing puts Les Claypool to shame, and John Otto? Oh man. Move over Neil Peart, there's a new drum king in town! Fred Durst is a god! His lyrics and vocals are just so powerful. Geoff Tate only wishes he could sing and write like this guy. Forget Iron Maiden. Limp Bizkit ruuuules!
Rating: Summary: Some science from the mighty Mos.... Review: "I ain't tryin' to diss, but I don't be tryin' to ph--- with Limp Bizkit. When I get down in my zone, I be rockin' Bad Brains and Fishbone." -- Mos Def.
Rating: Summary: One of the most overrated, unoriginal debut albums ever Review: I can still remember it like it was yesterday. Here I am, a freshman in high school, then next thing I know Korn is all over the place, and Limp Bizkit wasn't very far behind (not to mention Orgy and a few others) to be the new MTV hardcore metal. Give me a break. This 1997 debut hardly sold a copy until late 1998 into 1999 thanks to Limp riding Korn's Family Values Tour, and there is a reason that this sold poorly when first released. While yes, Limp Bizkit does have quite a bit of rhythm and beat on this album, and yes Fred Durst can rap (anyone care though?), it was all heard before and has been heard years ago before (and don't even say Rage Against the Machine or Korn either). Anyone remember Faith No More? Or Biohazard? Or Anthrax joining up with Public Enemy for "Bring the Noise"? And lets not forget bands that pioneered in the heavy music scene that deserved half the profits from this album like Corrosion of Conformity, Morbid Angel, and Crowbar. All in all, just like the rest of they're album catalog, "Three Dollar Bill, Y'All" is pure uninspired, unadulturated, wanna-be heavy and mainstream music that any MTV freak will no doubt enjoy.
