So say what you will about Limp Bizkit I really liked them when they first stepped on the scene. I personally love rap metal. It fuses two of my favorite genres together and gives you something you something you can both groove too and thrash in a pit. Now they trailed off a few years back, lost Wes Borland, got him back, and now the whole band is back together for this album. I was looking for this to come out and be brutal as hell tryin' to get back to the Three Dollar Bill, Yall$ days. The music kicks in and I'm thinking "fuck yeah the boys are back!" But then Fred starts in and all momentum is gone. What the fuck? Are you kidding me? People have been talking shit about you since 2003, (most don't know they put out an EP in 2005) and you don't have any pent up rage? You should have come out screaming "fuck everyone! Suck a cock and die LB is back and we are going to kill everyone of you nay sayers!!" But that's not what happened. What happened was a whole lot of shit. Some of the worse rapping I have ever heard. Now don't get me wrong Fred does say "We don't give a fuck" in almost every song, but it's not an aggressive thing.. just an off the cuff remark. I wanted anger and heavy riffs. I have always said Wes, Sam, John and DJ Lethal are awesome, but Fred is all over the place. Sometimes he's great and sometimes you just have to hit "next" on the ipod.
So this is what I think. Give it a try, preview before you buy it. Depending on your expectations you might regret it. Or it might be exactly what you are looking for. For me.. I'm going to go listen to Counterfeit.
