melodies as infectious as anything Britney or Steps have to offer, sold 6 million copies of Limp Bizkit's previous album,Significant Other. It also saw them invade mainstream America and more impressively, their doom-fuelled rework of theMission Impossibletheme, "Take A Look Around", score a number 3 hit this side of the pond. WithChocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water, they perfect the formula. From the electro of "Intro", through the contagious chug of "My Generation" to the straight-up, non-metal rap of "Getcha Groove On",Chocolate Starfishis a slick, clinical and flawless platform for Fred Durst's effortlessly savage, and occasionally--if unintentionally--comic sociological rants for disaffected youth. Ultimately, though, it's that undeniably intelligent musical backdrop--the brooding guitar sound that gave theMission Impossible 2theme haunting new life and menace, and defines "Hot Dog", "Full Nelson", "My Way", "Rollin'", "Boiler" and "It'll Be Okay"--that makesChocolate Starfisha seething work of genius. Fact is, with rap and rock saying pretty much the same thing, Limp Bizkit are not alone in what they do. They just do it better than everyone else. --Dan Gennoe

It was Limp Bizkit’s third album, and was considered to be their peak of success too as they hit with many big single from this album alone. Here you have Fred Durst lead the band into the new Millennium to show that it was time for them to take over, and some with the most extreme stuff we have heard from the ban up to this point as they have finally found the perfect mix of Rap and Metal to bring in the greatest range of listeners.
1. “Intro”
2. “Hot Dog”
To get things going, we have a track which as Fred Durst hype you up by introducing what thy have to offer this time around and this is done by having him list all the things in this life which he has a problem with before they are able to get to the stage where the band can come together for a massive showing of their skills at bringing the extreme Metal.
**Five Stars**
3. “My Generation”
This is a hardcore track from them and one which shows them doing things in the way we known them best for. It has them focus their attention about talking on just how they are living for themselves, and aren’t all that interested in trying to impress those who fit into other era and phases of music. They let loose and tell older generations that if they don’t like it, they shouldn’t be here.
**Five Stars**
4. “Full Nelson”
You have them capitalising off the huge following they gained by having their track “Rollin’” feature as the theme to the then WWF wrestler, The Undertaker by doing a track which has them inputting their care-free mindset by raging with an exciting display of them getting down to some hyped Metal and Fred Dust directing their rhymes to fit around how they will take on all opposition with wrestling moves. It is a banger, and keeps the flow going here.
**Five Stars**
5. “My Way”
Here you find more of Fred Durst and DJ Lethal’s Hip Hop influences here as this one begins with a little Eric B. & Rakim-inspired work before they get into it. This is one of the best offerings from them, and has them taking on a popular form of building things up through a pretty calm verse before a massive breakdown at the chorus. It is a killer track and shows that they really know how to construct their tracks well to make up what they do in this case.
**Five Stars**
6. “Rollin’”
This is a track which most will know. It probably lasts as their most well-known track, and is one of the best displays of Nu-Metal working to its optimum potential with them taking on as much Hip Hop as they possible could with full Raps and a heavy DJ Lethal presence in the production in this case to drive them on this killer jam.
**Five Stars**
7. “Livin’ It Up”
Off the hype of the last one, you have a joint which has Durst throw out a dedication to Ben Stiller as he gets into more Rapcore in this one, and I felt that his flows were exciting in this one due to the way he chose to use them by directing them topically and showing the Old School aspect of this all and where he has taken much of his choices from when guiding the raps as he talks of how people should live their life and no concentrate on how it is short..
**Four Stars**
8. “The One”
Here you have a pretty big one and it seems to fit right in here on the album as one that seems to get them doing things in a manner which is likely to be enjoyed by all. It sees that Durst relaxes things by singing through it, and so it calms things down greatly as we see a shift in what is done in the music, and I felt it was a valued recoding.
**Four Stars**
9. “Getcha Grove On”
With Xzibit on his side, you know that Durst couldn’t really lose things, and this just doesn’t happen as you find that with the West Coast rapper aiding him along the way, you have them mood of the whole album changing dramatically as they choose to get right into the feel of the Hip hop end of what they do and almost ignore where they primarily work.
**Four Stars**
10. “Take A Look Around”
Sampling the ‘Mission: Impossible’ them, this finds them doing a killer track where they make the most out of what they are capable of with their talents. It is one of the best one from the album, and stands out as a single from the record with them going for the type of progressive work with them gradually building things up with a series of transitions before pulling the band together in the most exciting way they were able to produce.
**Five Stars**
11. “It’ll Be OK”
You have more big Nu-Metal form them on this one as they appear to take on a similar kind of form as what we have seen from the likes of the track prior to this one and what was brought in “My Way” as Durst delves into the melodic flows and makes these guide him through the record as we go from a tense, yet quiet verse to a big breakdown later on.
**Four Stars**
12. “Boiler”
Released as the final single off the thing, this is an epic seven minute track from them which has them showing that they are able to do the Metal work just as well as they can with the Hip Hop side of the music. It felt that it was executed fairly well, and this can be seen in the fact that they don’t bore you at any point during this lengthy one. However, I felt that it did uncover the repetition which is found on within the album.
**Four Stars**
13. “Hold On”
I would have to say that this track isn’t as strong as the rest of what you find on the album, and especially when comparing it to what is found in tunes prior to it, it just doesn’t live up to these expectations as the pace is dropped and they perform a track which just isn’t exciting enough to really make you take that much notice of. It acts as a filler, and serves no other purpose here.
**Two Stars**
14. “Rollin’” (Urban Assault Vehicle)”
You have their most successful track on this one remixed by Swizz Beatz as he takes over the production and from these great adaptations to the feel of it, you have Method Man (someone who worked on previous work from the band) as well as Redman and DMX rapping with Durst as he alters his first and second verses for this Hip Hop takeover. I didn’t think it was as good as the original, but it is a big one you can’ ignore (especially due to Meth’s input).
**Four Stars**
15. “Outro”
This was the best album for the band, and although it suffers from a little repetition in the production, I felt that towards the end where they choose to alter things a little by putting in some drastic changes in the beats, they amended this. I understand that many may not like much of what done, especially when seeing how they have clearly taking things in a mainstream direction here, it still is a big one.

Review of Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavoured Water (Clean Version) - Limp Bizkit
Advantages: 'Hold On' and 'Take A Look Around' are fairly good, musicianship and guests are better than I expected Disadvantages: Apart from having to listen to it? - Fred Durst is annoying and untalented, the album is bland and unoriginal, this stuff sells!
...“Laydeez an’ gentlemen, intraducing the chocolate starfish and hot dog-flavored water. Bring it on, get the f**k up, yeah, check one, two, listen up.” Not a promising start in my opinion, but I’ll give it a chance. The musicianship actually sounds promising. Fred’s vocals annoy me “Like a f**ked up punk with a f**ked up mouth and a nine-inch nail”. Ok, the swearing’s gratuitous, but it doesn’t ... ...certainly don’t think it’s ‘cool’ or whatever LB fans do – but Fred’s whiny style does grate a bit. Anyway, ignore the lyrics and it doesn’t sound too bad, I have the horrible feeling this may grow on me. Hang on though, what was that about a nine-inch nail? I’d heard about bad relations between Fred Durst and Trent Reznor (of industrial metal band Nine Inch Nails) and that there was something relating ...

...Limp Bizkit's newly released album: Chocolate Starfish and the hot dog flavored water. The sound of the album itself is very unique, it makes you wonder what exactly is on this album just from the name of it. The first impression deal is usually puzzling if you know what I mean. Seriously though when you hear the name "Chocolate Starfish and the hot dog flavored water" out of blue, the first interpretations can be rather confusing. *~*~*~ The Tracks ... ...4 star on the album Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog flavored Water. It was a very good album, and the majority of the songs on the album are very well performed, and I listen to them over and over again, so there has to be something that makes me want to listen to Limp Bizkit's music. I do look forward to their next album, which I hope will be a surprise in one way or another. ~*~*~* Comparison Time ~*~*~*

Advantages: It's music I guess. Disadvantages: It is Limp Bizkit!
I bought this album during my 'buy a CD no matter who it is, or what it is just for the sake of buying a CD' phase. In other words, I had money in my pocket at the time and it was as if I had just discovered music as I purchased a whole manner of tosh most of which I have yet to listen to twice. Although this album was bought during this period I will say that I have listened to it more than once, sometimes just out of sheer boredom but I listened ... ...expecting me to write a pro or anti- Limp Bizkit opinion here then sadly you are reading the wrong opinion. I will try my best to write un unbiased, objective opinion not necessarily about the band but about the music they made on for this particular album. Fred Durst's band have received a lot of negative hype over the past few years and they say all publicity is good publicity as it was all this negativity that lead me to buying this album, to ...

Advantages: great music, nice mixture of rap and rock Disadvantages: the rapping is not all that great
* I noticed this only after 2 minutes of posting this op. This review was posted by me on Mouthshut.com on 9-5-2001 and it was copied and pasted by a certain joseph_1_2 on 5-10-2001 *
When I first popped the CD in, I was disappointed by a boring and pointless intro featuring somewhat of a robot like voice. I did like track two, Hot Dog, a “rip” on Nine Inch Nails. You’ll notice this when Durst says, “I want to f--k you like ... ...like a new Limp Bizkit. In my opinion, one of the best Limp Bizkit songs ever is back on this album from the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack. This song is called Take A Look Around. I just love everything from this song. The amazing guitar tune in the background and the lyrics are stuff that you would whisper to your self the next day. It’ll Be OK” is a great track that has deep lyrics about leaving home or someplace. I didn’t like ...

Advantages: good value Disadvantages: tries to be appealing to too many audiences
In my opinion, one of the best Limp Bizkit songs ever is back on this album from the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack. This song is called Take A Look Around. I just love everything from this song. The amazing guitar tune in the background and the lyrics are stuff that you would whisper to your self the next day. It’ll Be OK” is a great track that has deep lyrics about leaving home or someplace. I didn’t like the intro to it, but ... ...slow and then progresses to a harder and faster song. The lyrics make this song great! The next song Boiler is the same way, a song that has deep lyrics and a great beat. Now here is the song by song summary! 1.Intro- Why Limp Bizkit insists on having intros and outros on their cd’s that mean nothing to anyone is beyond me, but the computer voice is alright and the music is weird. I usually skip right over this 2.Hot Dog- Okay the music is ...

Album Notes
Full title: Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water. Limp Bizkit: Fred Durst (vocals); Wes Borland, DJ Lethal, Sam Rivers, John Otto. Additional personnel: Redman, Method Man, Xzibit, Mark Walberg, DMX, Liam Ward, Scott Weiland, Stephan Jenkins, Rob Dyrdek (vocals); Ben Stiller (spoken vocals); Scott Borland (keyboards); Rich Keller (bass). Producers: Scott Weiland, Terry Date, Swizz Beatz, Josh Abraham, Limp Bizkit. Engineers: Terry Date, Scott Olson, Ted Reiger. Some of Limp Bizkit's critics were quick to dismiss the band as a passing fad, and few lead singers seem to be as hated as Fred Durst, but the undeniable facts remain: since rap-metal came into its own, Limp Bizkit have been among the genre's top players. Their much-anticipated follow-up to SIGNIFICANT OTHER treads similar ground, with a few hidden aces to spare. Lyrically, Durst continues to focus on both the frustrations that accompany success (especially in "My Way"), and his mainstay of demanding validation ("Full Nelson.") CHOCOLATE STARFISH has some truly heavyweight production credits, including Terry Date (Pantera, Soundgarden), Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Jeff Buckley), and even the Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland, who co-writes and contributes guest vocals on "Hold On." The House Of Pain groove in "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" will certainly inspire the "rockers and hip-hoppers" that it calls to arms. Ironically the tracks that seem the most out of place on CHOCOLATE STARFISH are those with guest rapping by Xzibit, DMX, Redman and Method Man. The beats are hot (thanks in part to Swizz Beatz), but conflict somewhat with those tracks featuring aggressive and dynamic live instrumentation.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (1/4/01, p.113) - Included in Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2000" - "...Durst is more fun than a barrel of Yosemite Sams as he explores his 2 favorite topics: the world and why it sucks....the band is fun, bashing out loud, linear angst-metal heavy onthe spaced-out guitar clang..." Spin (1/01, pp.111-2) - 7 out of 10 - "...The sound is now clearer...the rapping likewise....this is a slicker, grander record than SIGNIFICANT OTHER....the album definately qualifies as an improvement..." Q (12/00, p.124) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Durst's strength is in gonzo bluster....great knockaround rock songs..." Melody Maker (10/24/00, p.58) - 4.5 stars out of 5 - "...On this mighty album, Durst's in full, and frankly, awesome, flow....Super, smashing, great....upping the ante on every wannabe mofo who thinks he's 'intense'..." NME (10/14/00, p.41) - 6 out of 10 - "...A half-dozen or so stone cold rap-metal rockers...plus another half-dozen or so so-so fillers..." CMJ (11/13/00, p.24) - "...Damn if the Bizkit doesn't make you wanna shake your rump....Durst stirs up simmering pits of anger....Wes Borland's low-end and DJ Lethal's scratching deftly decorate the tracks..."
