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.
