Advantages: The band is good (minus Fred's rapping) Disadvantages: Fred's rapping
Now I’ll tell you right now that Limp Bizkit is not one of my favorite bands. Now before I start I would like to say that Limp Bizkit has some great beats and riffs on this song. Wes Borland is one of my favorite guitarists and John Otto is a great drummer. But there’s Fred Durst.... Awwww poor little Fred Durst. Now I’m not a big fan of Rap/Rock but that doesn’t mean I won’t give it a shot. I remember when Limp Bizkit ... ...pleasers. Fred Durst almost completely changed his style and now the whole band has to suffer. I like all the members of the band. Even Fred isn’t that bad, but when a two foot white guy acts like he can kick anyone’s ass it gets pretty old (and sad).
Now this album really isn’t that bad, some songs are even good if you can believe it. It’s just that when Fred doesn’t do a good job rapping, I’m sorry for ... more
Now I’ll tell you right now that Limp Bizkit is not one of my favorite bands. Now before I start I would like to say that Limp Bizkit has some great beats and riffs on this song. Wes Borland is one of my favorite guitarists and John Otto is a great drummer. But there’s Fred Durst.... Awwww poor little Fred Durst. Now I’m not a big fan of Rap/Rock but that doesn’t mean I won’t give it a shot. I remember when Limp Bizkit was a somewhat hardcore band and now they are teeny pleasers. Fred Durst almost completely changed his style and now the whole band has to suffer. I like all the members of the band. Even Fred isn’t that bad, but when a two foot white guy acts like he can kick anyone’s ass it gets pretty old (and sad). Now this album really isn’t that bad, some songs are even good if you can believe it. It’s just that when Fred doesn’t do a good job rapping, I’m sorry for all those Limp Bizkit fans.
Track 1: Intro Now this is the first album I covered that had a introduction and not a song. I rate intros on how original and interesting they are. The overall production on this intro really isn’t that good. It has a sloppy beat and a voice that has been slowed down to distortion. This intro lasts 32 seconds and really doesn’t do anything for me. Score: 1
Track 2: Just like this Now the first real song on this album really doesn’t lift me up. Even though the riffs are really good. Ahhh God bless Wes Borland. Fred sounds like a muppet in this track. The verses are all rap and he sings through the chorus. Now I really like Fred when he sings. He sounds much better than when he raps. The song really isn’t about anything and is rather mediocre. Fred really doesn’t scream much in this song but he does elevate his voice a little. The rap doesn’t really do anything for me. Now don’t get me wrong I like rap, in fact I will do a review on a real rap album real soon. Score: 2
Track 3: Nookie Now this song starts out with one of the catchiest riffs I’ve ever heard. The drumming is great and goes great with the riffs and through the whole songs. Once again the rap lyrics aren’t really that good but they are a big improvement from the last song. The chorus is also done well, Fred is almost screaming and it sounds like half of a hardcore song. At one point the rapping stops and the song slows down. Then it just escalates and that part of the song is rather berserk and cool. One of the two new generation Limp Bizkit songs I like on this album. Score: 4
Track 4: Break stuff This is the second new generation Bizkit song I like. The riffs are very simple but they are done so well. The drumming is also good and goes well with Fred’s rap. Now I don’t really like the lyrics on this song. They lack any depth and I’m afraid to say it but I could do it too. The only part of the vocals that I like is when Fred goes into that chainsaw bit and then begins screaming “give me something to break”. That was a rather exciting part of the song. Once again I don’t like it when Fred tries to be a hardcore rapper. Score: 4
Track 5: Rearranged This song is pretty damn good. It goes rather slow and Fred isn’t treathing anyone. So basically it’s not a Bizkit-esqe song. Fred is pretty soothing on this track and he just does such a good job singing. The chorus is very good and the verses are also sung well. The lyrical content is also very different. He’s talking about letting go of a bad girlfriend. The best part of the song is when everything slows down and then explodes. For those of you who saw the music video it’s when they are in the milk chamber. The riffs are just incredible there and the vocals are also great (I think I even heard some screaming in the background). There is also some great mixing at the end, which is provided by DJ Lethal. I feel that this is the best song on the album. Score: 5
Track 6: I’m broke Now after hearing the last song I was pretty impressed with Limp’s potential. Unfortunately the next song is a step down. Actually it’s as if the elevator came crashing down. Now this song starts off with a hardcore riff then Fred the muppet starts to rap over it. Again he thinks that he’s Hulk. Here he is complaining about his friends taking his money and leaving. Well then don’t lend them money fool. The only good part of the song is about two minutes in the song. That part actually sounds like a hardcore song. But still that part doesn’t make up for the rest of the song. Score: 2
Track 7: Nobody like you This is another song that I think is good. It features Jonathon Davis from Korn. His presence really isn’t felt until the second verse. Fred Durst is singing through the whole song, he does a great job on the chorus. It’s a very catchy chorus. The riffs are really great especially during the chorus. Again there is a slowdown during the song and then it just explodes. The drumming is great in this part and when the song explodes it just rocks! There is hardcore screaming over the relatively calm chorus. Score: 5
Track 8: Don’t go off wandering This song really isn’t that bad. It’s a slow and calming song. Fred is rather sentimental with this one. He is rapping, unfortunately, but it isn’t the annoying “I’m going to punch you in the face” rap. He is letting out his pain in this one which he doesn’t really do in this album. The song really doesn’t explode even though it tries to get pumped up. Wes does a great job with the riffs. It’s sentimental but heavy as well, an average song though. Score: 3
Track 9: 9 teen 90 nine This song starts off with a great riff and drumming. The rap in this song is mediocre but the chorus is good. The chorus is heavy and loud. The drumming is good throughout the song. As are the guitars. Again the around the middle of the song it slows down and then explodes again. That part of the song is good because Fred is somewhat still screaming. Unfortunately the rest of the song kind of blows. Score: 2
Track 10: n together now All I have to say is thank God Method man is on this track! Score: 3
Track 11: Trust? This song starts off with a great riff and drumming. Fred is rapping but this type of rap is heavy and hardcore. The riffs make this song great and Fred is actually rapping hard. Unfortunately the ruff part of the song stops and the song seems like Muppets in Space. The middle of song gets really corny and even if the song gets loud again it still doesn’t make up for the last minute of Durst cr@p. Score: 3
Track 12: No sex This beginning of the song starts off with promise. Fred isn’t punching anyone but again he’s talking about that woman who burned him. Now the reason I don’t really like this song is because it’s kind of boring. And it does kind of contradict “Nookie”. In this song he’s saying he should’ve kept his pants on and in “Nookie” he’s saying it’s all for the Nookie, for those of you who don’t know: Nookie means sex. The chorus is good but there really isn’t anything else. Score: 2
Track 13: Show me what you got Now I like this song for the reason that it’s an original concept. He’s thanking people on a track. But the first verse is kind of stupid; he was mentioning the different cities he was in. The only vocals I like is the pre chorus when he screams “get the F--k up”. The second verse is pretty cool when he is thanking actual people. It’s an interesting concept. Score: 3
Track 14: A lesson learned This song starts off real slow and really is well sung. The drumming and bass are real good. The song is real good. Fred’s voice is real soothing. The echo effect that follows Fred’s voice is a nice touch. This is a real nice ending but unfortunately it’s not the end a stupid outro follows. Score: 4
Track 15: Outro This outro follows the same beat and vocals as the intro. Once again it’s really stupid. However if you haven't shut off your CD or tape player you’ll hear Matt Pinfield. He is really angry and he is ranting about pop music. This is a funny scene and he says exactly what I am thinking. That’s a cool ending. Score: 3
So Limp Bizkit’s second album is a tad uninspired. If there wouldn’t have been the stupid rap this album would be a good one. Now this album is a decent one and fans of Rap/Rock will enjoy it. So if you like that kind of teeny rock such as Kid Rock, Korn, and Papa Roach then definitely pick this one up because you will like it.
Advantages: See op Disadvantages: They've gone a bit poo
I know that a lot of people don’t rate this CD or indeed this band very highly. Well if we were all the same the world would be a very boring place. I bought this CD in March and it has become almost indispensable. £6.99 from a HMV Sale. No, don’t laugh and find it incredulous. LB may not be the most eloquent of bands and some people may think it just a whole lot of noise, but this is a CD of personal loss and the beginnings of fame. ... ...listen to him you can see that the bravado hides a man who has been hurt a lot. Forget Rollin’ and My Way (or the highway), this is Limp Bizkit with their entrails hanging out in all their glory. Some people wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot barge poll, but put the cattle prod down and let me tell you what this CD means to me. 1. Intro.

So, having just done my "3 dollar Bill Y'all" review, I thought it would be fitting to go on to the next album! So yes, their second cd, and it sounds alot more proffesional, it's clearer, less raw and heavy, far less destortion! Song by song as allways folks!
Intro. Wouldn't be a Limp Bizkit cd with out an intro. Ok, it's pointless, but it's a nice touch, and it starts the next song off really well!.
Just Like This. Now this is the Limp Bizkit ... ...a great tune to it. it's really catchy, i was unable to get it out of my head for 2 months, especially the lowerd suspension bit! A real good start to the cd. 9/10
Nookie. Limp Bizkits first real big song (I think). A bit of nice male aggression in a song! A great song, really LOUD, sounds like it came of the first cd. The lyrics are quite good, but a bit silly in places. 8/10
Breakstuff. Limp Bizkits biggest songs, oh and good it is. Everyoen ...

...and love thier music. Significant other is their second CD and is very good. There are 15 tracks and they are all top quality. The music is not like the crap like Britney Spears produces who makes one half decent song and then it sells all the albums. The songs on Significant other are all good and none are bvad at all. My favourite song is Rearranged and Break Stuff. I definately recommend this album to everbody and if you are wondering what music ...

Advantages: Excellant playing, innovative guitar work Disadvantages: Some regretable lyrics/raps
Significant other is an album that tries to further fusion between hip-hop and metal, and on many tracks it succeeds brilliantly. Other tracks are very much straight ahead metal, and on tracks such as Break Stuff its hard to hear what DJ Lethal actually adds to the sound. Both 'Break Stuff' and the excellant 'Nookie' feature some amazing guitar and drum work, but at times it does feel that for all of Fred Durst's fire in delivery, some of his lyrics ... ...from the song. Although this proably works well in the live arena, on disc, some of the tracks fell forced in their delivery. For the casual rock fan, some tracks such as 'N2 gether now' won't particularly appeal, but it can certainly help to open some peoples minds a little. The intro and outro fell like unneccessary tag-ons, though, and it lends a bit of an immature feel to the proceeds, but this is probably the feeling that Limp Bizkit are going ...

Advantages: Better than any keep fit video/cd you'll ever get! Disadvantages: Neighbours (or neighbors depending on where you're from)
...(and Limp Bizkit support Napster which has to be a good thing). So that was it. I went out and bought Significant Other. My life hasn't been quite the same since. What more can I say¿ Buy the album, be enlightened, it's just too good. ...

Album Notes
SIGNIFICANT OTHER is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Limp Bizkit: Fred Durst (vocals); Wes Borland (guitar); Sam Rivers (bass); John Otto (drums); DJ Lethal (turntables). Additional personnel includes: Method Man, Les Claypool, Matt Pinfield, Anita Durst, Mathematics (vocals); Scott Borland (keyboards); Jonathan Davis, Aaron Lewis (background vocals). Producers: Limp Bizkit, Scott Weiland, Terry Date, D.J. Premier. Recorded at NRG Recording Services, North Hollywood, California. SIGNIFICANT OTHER was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. "Nookie" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. Smashing the sophomore jinx, Limp Bizkit puts together a screaming second album in SIGNIFICANT OTHER. The band's songwriting has matured, and the experience of touring is evident in the production. Singer Fred Durst is a frontman for the next millennium, combining hardcore metal with the slickness of hiphop. Limp Bizkit is backed by the turntable skills of House Of Pain's DJ Lethal. You can hear the hiphop influences in almost every track--from the lead single, "Nookie," to the DJ Premier-produced "N 2 Gether Now." Other highlights include "Break Stuff," "Just Like This," and "I'm Broke." Be sure to check out the Durst-directed video for "Nookie," as it shows just how multi-talented Limp Bizkit really is.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (7/8-22, pp.143-144) - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5) - "...at this point, hating them seems a little disingenuous. They're actually (gulp) good." Entertainment Weekly (6/18/99, pp.74-75) - "...It takes it cues from hardcore hip-hop...grunge...the post-80's metal of Metallica, and, to a lesser degree, electronica....But overall, SIGNIFICANT OTHER isn't simply modern rock; it's postmodern rock..." - Rating: B CMJ (6/28/99, p.5) - "...[SIGNIFICANT OTHER] has an intensity that never lets up, surpassing the musical scope of its predecessor with rap-core gems such as "Nookie" and the blunted hip-hop of..."N 2 Gether Now"....The unholy matrimony of metal and rap celebrates another victory...superb..."
