Cons

Full Review

This is one of the few albums that I can fully enjoy. Each song is one that you want to listen to. Not just skipping a few songs, but listening all the way through. Limp Bizkit is one of those rare bands that innovate in different styles in music. Combining heavy metal with hip hop. Although many have copied their sound, Limp Bizkit will always be the original.

 

Perhaps the best song in my opinion is "Just Like This." It just has a beat that you don't rarely find. It just sounds different from your basic generic rock song. Each time I here the song I just cant stop listening. It's like it just flows all the way through.

 

Although with all the hit singles, such as "Nookie,""N 2gether Now,""Rearranged," and "Break Stuff," it still has plenty of other songs that could have been hits, such as "I'm Broke" and "Nobody Like You."

 

One of the things I particularly like about the album is all the guest that the band was able to round up for the album. Everybody from Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots, Jonathon Davis of KoRn, even to Fred Durst's own mom. It is just awesome to see how they know all they can incorporate all these guests musical styles into their own.

 

If you ask me this CD is way better than "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$." It is like comparing "Significant Other" and "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$" to a good clean shirt and a good dirty shirt. "Significant Other" is easier to determine in what is what, while "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$" is like all the music is mixed into one beat. So which is better? From my point of view, I would say "Significant Other" would be the best choice if looking for something that is different.

 

Listening to Limp Bizkit has helped me get into other bands. After listening to Limp Bizkit, I starting listening to everything from KoRn, all the way to The Offspring. Now just recently I've been sampling smaller bands like Snapcase and Pennywise. So if you need a CD you want with all kinds of diverse music styles, "Significant Other" is the best choice.

Full Review

I don't know about you, but the teenage pop that is in these days is enough to make me want to smash my radio. I was almost ready to give up all hope for today's music and wait until someone with something real(not scripted by managers) to say. The the Limp Bizkit's "Faith" came out. I loved it so much that I immediately bought the album. I liked what I heard, but it sounded immature and young. The I heard "Nookie" off of Significant Other. It was a godsend. A perfect mix of hardcore rock, rap, and pop(which by the way stands for Popular). It reminded me of Korn only I could actually understand the words. Frontman Fred Durst is not only hot, but he's got something to say, whether it's screw the world("Break Stuff") or a heartfelt story of love gone wrong("Rearranged"). He mixes the best of both worlds and in doing so brings men and women alike into his audience. Significant Other is always on continuous play in my CD player and I anxiously await his next.

I assume Durst wrote these. Only somebody able to churn out Limp Bizkit's shitty lyrics could write such bilge.

Full Review

The boys in Bizkit have successfully followed their breakout smash Three Dollar Bill, Ya'll with this bodacious blend of rock, rap, and everything in between. Fred Durst is masterful behind the mike, sending the pulsing rhythms of DJ Lethal even deeper into the recesses of your mind. Wes Borland's ability as shown on this album rank him right along side Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers as the best in the business today.

 

For just plain listening pleasure, you can't beat this album. The funky beats from the opening to the end fill you with desire to hear what's up next, and next, and next after that. Although not quite as aggressive as the first album, there is still plenty of swearing to remind your parents why they hate your music. Method Man guests on possibly the best rap/rock compilation song I've ever heard with N 2gether Now. There is much more of a DJ undertone to it, compared to Three Dollar's aggressive, raging, get-out-of-my-way guitar and vocals, but the change is well made.

 

All in all, this album is worth the 18 dollars for the excellent blend of rage and rap: a perfect drive-around-town-bored album. So come and get it...

I think the words "bodacious " and "funky" made that the greatest Limp Bizkit review ever.

Limp Bizkit is the greatest band out there right now there are simply amazing. I thought their first record was good and i was like how are they going to top the first one. But then boom they come out with the second one it was not only better than the first one but about 3 times better than their first one. That is just a great cd you can listen to it from front to back (Editor's note: the FUCK?) and it just keeps getting better. There best song on there is probably nookie but there is tons of good songs on there and also an appearance from jon davis of korn and method man sings with fred durst in a great song. Limp Bizkit is just a great band and there next cd might be better than the 2nd which would be amazing. Get out and buy this cd right away.

The only thing dumber than someone saying phat beats is someone spelling out phat beats.

 

This band is in life support, I hope people have gotten smart in the last few years and just don't buy this crap.
