Oh man, where do I begin? This album makes me laugh every time that I listen to it. It’s hard to tell if Limp Bizkit is actually serious or if this album was just ironic. The theme of the whole album is “I’m Fred Durst and I’m pretty cool. If you think you’re cooler than me then I’m gonna beat you up.” I really tried to search for deeper meaning, but I couldn’t find it. The only lyric that I could extract from the album with any possible meaning is “Do you think we can fly?” from their song My Generation, talking about how his generation can succeed, even though older generations look down on it. The One is the band’s attempt at writing a deep, meaningful song, but it completely falls flat. The vocals are horrible. It’s clear that the band should stick to writing catchy rap rock songs.
Contrary to what I said earlier, the album is pretty catchy. That may be why the album reached 6x platnum status. Sometimes, I find myself singing along to songs in my head. Like “My way or the highway” or “keep rollin rollin rollin rollin.”
Final Verdict: Album is pretty bad, but its catchiness deserves some credit.
Rating: 2/5
