Rating: Summary: Pollution Review: This CD in my opinion is Limp Bizkit's Best CD to date. Heavy and melodic. The CD starts out with a Bang with the track pollution, my faviorate Bizkit song ever. Even if your not a big fan of Limp Bizkit, but in rap rock in general you will love this CD.
Rating: Summary: Excellent CD Review: This CD I own is Excellent Limp Bizkit did a good Job on it. That's Basically all I Have to Say.
Rating: Summary: This is better than their later stuff. Review: But to be honest, there are much better artists you could you could find to listen to. Nothing is really impressive here.
Rating: Summary: Great album, shows the talent from before CSATHDFW Review: Limp Bizkit's first album: it's the one album that HASN'T been used to refer to them as "sellouts" by complaining fans, and is ultimately the source of all the band's "old school fans". In many ways, it only makes sense, as Fred Durst raps and roars through subjects in his lyrics that we all must deal with, sometimes in everyday life. Ranging everywhere from the girls in life that end up sticking you over ("Sour"), two-faced people ("Counterfeit"), bothersome fans trying to cop a record deal ("Leech"), and even hateful, irritating neighbors ("Stinkfinger"). All of this was before Durst brought the sensitivity of songs such as "Re-Arranged" and "No Sex" on the band's second album, "Significant Other". The fact is, this album is purely hardcore, unbridled anger, from a period in time when the band was struggling with all these problems in life, as well as dealing with fame and the other issues that come up from being large in the music genre. No BS on this album.Of course, Limp Bizkit did not revolutionize this "rock-rap" or "nu-metal" genre that has been the basis of a million cop-off bands, all doing the same thing. Rage Against The Machine brought about rapping to hard rock in the mid-90's, which was quickly followed in suit by groups like the Deftones and KoRn. Limp Bizkit, although having very obvious similarities to these groups on "3 Dollar Bill, Y'all", still managed to keep their style original, combining the interesting guitar work of Wes Borland (who's style has never been the same since this album), and ex-DJ from the group House Of Pain, making rock-rap somehow different again on this album. The biggest standout on the album is the bassist, Sam Rivers, who doesn't get nearly as much recognition as he should. Standout tracks on the CD are found scattered left and right, emphasizing Fred Durst's once good (now terrible) rapping style on the autobiographical "Indigo Flow", to the always mocking of televangelism "Pollution". Hardcore, loud screams still abound though, on intense tracks such as "Counterfeit", "Leech", "Nobody Loves Me", "Stalemate", and "Clunk". "Faith", the band's first single from this album, is a fun, interesting take on a George Michael song, but is a bit radio friendly and gets dull after too many catchy listens. The song on this disc that is so rarely recognized, even by the band, but is by far one of their most amazing ones is "Everything". Spanning nearly twenty minutes, the track wasn't pre-written, and was recorded on the spot. Although most of it is instrumental, it gives off a strange, dark sense of emotion, and the band has yet to write anything to compare to it. If you're just getting into the band now, and were a fan of "Significant Other" or "Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water", you might want to download a few songs first to determine if you'll like this. The rap style is different, and the screaming and rock are more hardcore than the next two albums, but if you can appreciate real talent in a genre that has gotten rather overplayed ("nu-metal"), don't hesitate to get this. It's a great place to start.
Rating: Summary: When Limp Bizkit was GOOD Review: Unlike Limp Bizkit's later albums, which are practically manufactured and so much less raw, this is back when this band was actually good. They aren't the most talented band in the world but there is some GOOD RAW MUSIC here. Here are my ratings for the songs: 1. Intro (n/a) - A slightly interesting opening. I'd rather it didn't exist although it is tollerable. 2. Pollution (B) - Very raw song with some cool guitar sounds. Fred screams a little too much at the end but other than that, it's good. 3. Counterfeit (A) - One of Limp's best songs. Great heavy music. 4. Stuck (A) - Another great heavy song. Easy to get into and very cool. 5. Nobody Love Me (C+) - Starts to get old after a while. Okay song but it drags. 6. Sour (A) - A really cool slower song. This is about the only time Fred has rapped and it actually songed alright. 7. Stalemate (B) - Drags a little bit in the beginning but gets really cool instrumentally about halfway through. 8. Clunk (C) - This sounds like filler. Not that great of a song. 9. Faith (B) - It's that one cover song everyone knows of. Okay song, not the best thing ever. I like it though. 10. Stinkfinger (A) - Unique and very very good despite it's not a very popular song. 11. Indigo Flow (D) - Fred gives props to all his homies. Keep it in the paper thing in the album. This is a mess of a song with Fred trying to rap again and isn't very good. 12. Leech (C) - Another mess of a song. A little better but not great. 13. Everything (A) - Many of the "hardcore rockers" out there don't want to give this song a chance but if you can stand more melodic types of music, this is very good. Excellent way to end the CD. Nothing truely revolutionary but a great album.
Rating: Summary: great nu-metal they should have keeped it up... Review: this cd is raw limp and i love it, its quite uniqie album and most of the songs are good on this one but the ones that are good are realy great so it deservie 4 stars for those songs songs like "pollution", "counterfit", "leech", "faith", "clunk", "stuck" and "no body loves me" are very kool tracks and are worth hearing over and over again buy this if u are into nu-metal and limp cuz u wont regrete it stand out tarcks: pollution, counterfit, leech, faith, clunk, stuck, no body loves me
Rating: Summary: a three dollar bill Review: Counterfeit, faith, and stuck are three of my all time favoirite songs, their heaviness come as a contrast to things like indigo flow on this album. Limp bizkit at this stage are not quite as good as the current version but still carry the same style, and structure
Rating: Summary: What Rap/Metal Should be Review: This album is the perfect amalgamation of what i thing the new rap-rock sub-genre would/should/could sound like. It is all too unfortunite that the LB changed their sound to be more pop-oriented. Incredible riffage and mad-crazy percussion along with fast, yet smooth lyrics make this a great addition to any rap fan or any hard rocker's collection.
Rating: Summary: A great combination spinning up rap and rock. Review: Limp bizkit is a one-of-a-kind artist who came on a mission to start a whole new kind of sound and start a chain of others who all have that same sound. A lot of artists out there try to start out like that on their debut, but fade out and end up with a fourth cd where what was fifty percent of the first album is a hundred percent of it. Now everyone wants to be Limp bizkit cause of the catchy tunes in faith,counterfiet,pollution,sour, and stuck. Let's just say this. Limp bizkit rocks!
Rating: Summary: Limp Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: last year, around this time, I got the significant other cd, I was impressed and I wanted to hear more, so i thought what the heck I will buy their old cd too, cuz I had heard faith and I liked that song, so I got it, and it is just as good as significant other if not better, it is a bit, different,..from their new cd, but it is still good and would probably attract the same audience, it has rap vocals with rock backgrounds, if you like limp and you like their new cd, GET THIS!
