Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water

Posted: 4/3/2024 by DJ Carly ( See All) Show:
(2000) Metal Director here and I'm sure this is going to upset a majority of music enthusiasts but I will not tolerate any Limp Bizkit hate so sit down and listen to my take on this album.

It's a banger. I don't make the rules. But let me elaborate before you get hurt. Limp Bizkit is the type of band that you don't listen to seriously, and thats coming from someone whos one of their favorite bands is limp bizkit. Another one of my favorite bands is Primus so I'm not new to the goofy-esc music. They are goofy and thats ok, debatably that is why it the album SLAPS. Primus wouldn't be Primus without a little goofy behavior and Limp Bizkit wouldn't be Limp Bizkit without a little goofy behavior. And before you say anything, no, I am not comparing Primus and Limp Bizkit at all, but if you like goofy music, they are both a lil goofy in their own little ways.

It's perfectly comedic and musically very well put together. You have the goofy voice of Fred Durst and the most insanely cool guitar parts from Wes Borland and thats not even giving any credit to John Otto, DJ Lethal or Sam Rivers. This band will 100% get you off your butt and on your feet and soon you will be moshing and headbangin.

My favorite song off of the album is Boiler and some of my runner ups include My Way, My Generation, and The One.

So in conclusion, if you are a music crit who is holding a tea cup, collects expensive fine art, speaks in a old British accent and only listen to music to critique it to classics like The Beatles and Mozart or whatever, you are going to hate this album plain and simple. But if you enjoy listening to fun, lighthearted, goofy music but still like to hear some classic metal elements, then you may like it. You can't go into listening this album expecting total seriousness because thats not what it is and thats not the point of the album.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Korn - Life is Peachy

Posted: 3/13/2024 by DJ Carly ( See All) Show:
(1996) I can't say enough good things about this album sincerely. It is easily my favorite Korn album and genuinely probably my favorite album of all time (I literally want 'Life Is Peachy' tattooed on me.

This album has such a edge and was so innovative to the time it came out. Korns debut album came out in 1994 and kept the music scene on the edge of their seats because no one really ever heard something like it before. Their sophomore album 'Life is Peachy' didn't disappoint either with songs like A.D.I.D.A.S and Twist which caught the attention of radio stations and people everywhere.

Picking favorite songs on this album is the equivalent to picking your favorite child but if I had to pick five they would be 'No Place To Hide', 'Good God', 'Chi', 'Lost', and 'Kill you'. Each song on the album is so powerful and full of emotions whether its Jonathan Davis's thunderous vocals, Brian 'Head' Welsh and James 'Munky' Shaffers tag team of a guitarist duo, Reginald 'Fieldy' Arvizus booming bass, or David Silverias hard hitting drums.

I sincerely advise anyone to listen to that album in full, I swear you will feel like a completely different person. I have much respect for them all as musicians and as people and can't say enough about them. They are my favorite band of all time and will GUARANTEE you that most of the recommendations that I post on here will be Korn albums.

Recommended If You Like: Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Deftones, System of a Down, etc.
