In Defense of Limp Bizkit
Obviously Limp Bizkit is not a band for everyone, and there will always be ignorant people hurling insults at visible frontmen like Fred Durst, but you have to give the band some credit. Okay, Limp Bizkit is now considered one of those 'tainted' bands because of some social stigma, perhaps that their style and message are too controversial for an audience that typically praises going against the grain. This IS a good album--it's got variety, which is more than most rap-metal bands can claim on an album. I'm not saying that Limp Bizkit is anywhere near as influential as acts like Rage Against the Machine, but for what this is--a rock/rap album--it's great. And it's really a shame that Limp Bizkit never really seemed to recapture the energy that pervades this album. It's really heavy and a lot less catered toward platinum status than later albums--Chocolate Starfish, for one. Of course, all Bizkit albums have some less than standard songs--especially after Wes Borland left.

While I'm on the topic, whoever says that Wes Borland is a bad guitarist simply does not know the music. The guitar work on this album is a great combination of heavy, fun-to-play riffs, more chordal harmonies, and the ambient sounds that fill the rest of the texture. Seriously, listen to Big Dumb Face before you call Wes a bad guitarist. And try playing along to Counterfeit--it's a lot of fun. No, he's not Jimi Hendrix, but not every guitarist can be that talented. Wes Borland does more for Limp Bizkit's sound than other band's guitarists, who could only hope for such creativity in writing parts for nu-metal songs. He's original, and that's a big reason why I keep buying their music. So stop hating.


Uh... Not bad
BUT!. Let me start off by saying that I'm one of those who disses limp bizkit all the time and then goes to listen to death metal and other heavy genres. . . after listening to this. . . I just gotta say that it's actually a cool heavy album and is nothing like the later commercial stuff they put out. Less of a hip hop influence ('ugh') and more of a rap metal thing if you know what i mean. I hate durst but musically the band is not bad unlike the other three cord kids but i am NOT a limp bizkit fan I just got a kick out of this cd even though they are the most hated band in the "fake metal" game. Unlike Rollin, this is raw has some great heaviness and actually great screams from fred (man am i gonna get dissed) but i don't care because this is not bad of course i hate the rap which is what they are known for but the other stuff is good. Not an essential album but think twice cuz songs like Stuck are great for the pit. Wes borland is a great guitarist no matter what. He shows pure aggression that tears everyone who hates bizkit even though the songs are easy lo learn.


This is when Limp Bizkit was at its darkest
It had a much darker atmosphere, and the overall sound was much heavier. The first album from Limp Bizkit was very different from "Significant Other" and "Chocolate Starfish". This album dealt with two-faced people & annoying neighbors & trying to find out who you really were, wheareas "Chocolate Starfish" dealt with the media, money, not giving a f**k what people think, etc.

The songs here are really catchy, and sometimes depressing. "Pollution" and "Leech" are the heaviest songs here, and they're what defined the early days of Limp Bizkit. The singles "Counterfeit," "Faith," and "Sour," have never sounded better. "Clunk" sounds like a filler, so it's not that good. "Nobody Loves Me," "Indigo Flow," "Everything," and "Stalemate" are the darkest songs on this album, so don't expect any Keep-Rollin' beats here. I wonder what happened to these guys, anyway? I guess it's money and fame that prompted them to go on with "Chocolate Starfish". Oh well.


rock amania
But really the way fred was singing it was retarted especially the song pollution this album was'nt worth it don't buy it you will be real pissed of if you do. the only thing i have to say is this debut from LB was corney it was trash this album was so whack i wanted to go to the studio and kill them thank go i did'nt.


Definitely original and worth a listen...
This album may have followed suit in the post grunge craze of the mid 90's. . but in retrospect its musical quality and overall originality make it essential to any grunge/metal/hard rock fan. Fred Durst may have ruined the image/ego of the band with his superfluous lyrics but that does not tamper with the quality of the sound. You can really hear the pain in his voice throughout the album. Wes Borland wrote some of the most high flying and complex riffs for this album. . . much more variety than almost anything you can pick up on the radio. It's a shame he left the band. John Otto. . . my goodness that man is made of rhythm. His jazzy beats along with DJ Lethal's samples really add a unique blend of rhythm to this album. Overall I believe despite the "fact" Limp Bizkit may have "sold out" (whatever that means, reference to Tool's 'Hooker with a Penis') this album is worth picking up. If you have any appreciation for the Nu-metal/Nu-rock genre you are going to have to check this out.
