<- Only one who loves the new Limp Bizkit cd?

[Valhalla1]

'course I been listening to it for a few weeks now on mp3, since I saw it on the net, but I bought the cd today anyway, just because.

I love it. I hear they are touring with Eminem this summer, I'm going to DEFINATELY go see a show on that tour!

 

[Wangel]

Where can I get the CD? Is it on Napster?

 

[Valhalla1]

dood, its all over napster, been there for weeks.

or you can just go buy it, it was released today

 

[toph99]

personally, i don't like them at all, so you can count me as not loving the cd

 

[KotchY]

damn wiggors imho

 

I heard the song &quot;Rollin'&quot; on the radio. It sucks. They just use the same dumb formula for every song. They have become as predictable as RATM and Korn.

 

[DirkBelig]

Beast Buy has it for $10. Go BUY some music sometime, huh? Little Napster thieves. Sheesh...

Listening to it now. Kinda hard to tell what's up, cuz I'm at work and I don't think Fred Durst screaming F*** every third word will go over to well in my corporate office. For the drive home, though....BOOM!

Too much of it sounds just &quot;Significant Other&quot;. Lyrically, it sounds like a step back, which for these knuckleheads is a achievement.

 

[bigvince]

geuss who's got tickets to Limpbizkit and eminem in chicago....

 

[Pod]

Yeah I think you're the only one.

 

[slunk]

Limp Bizkit is just another band that is sh*t.

 

[Eug]

So, am I the only over 30 geezer that listens to LimpBizkit?

Yep, I use Napster to find new music often, because all of my old geezer friends this stuff is absolute crap. But then I go out and buy the CD.

 

[Shudder]

&quot;..as predictable as RATM and Korn..&quot;

No kidding. I HATE bands that release an album that is barely a year from the previous one. All bands that do it pretty much end up sucking from then on out. Metallica, Korn, Bush, Hootie, and now Limp Dicks.

You make an album, you tour it, and what, you write the next one while on tour? Whatever.

Personally, I don't think you can have a decent next album until 2 years later. Why? You make one, tour the crap out of it, get so sick of playing that kind of music that your next album is pretty damn different from the last. That's the way it should be. With Limp's new one, they should have just released a double CD last year because it's the same crap. Korn is exactly the same way.

2 CDs in a years time also = sellout/cash in on 15 minutes of fame.

 

Shudder: I agree 100%. The thing with Limp is that they know that their shelf life is at best four years. They need to make the most of it because VH1's &quot;Where Are They Now?&quot; is creeping up on them.

I hope they don't blow all their money now or they will be robbing Liquor stores with Kid Rock and Eminem in a few years.

 

[Chef0083]

Dude,, RAGE waits like 3 or 4 years between albums! Evil Empire was in 95 ( I think ) and BAttle For LA was in 99....

<< So, am I the only over 30 geezer that listens to Limp Bizkit? >>


I'm over 40 and I listen to them, does that count?

Anyway, I have to agree with the consensus. Their first album was their best and they are on a (slow} downward curve. I haven't heard the very latest, but if it is not as good as their last one, why buy it? Send them a message.

EDIT: As to writing more than one album in every year, there is pressure to make money while you are &quot;hot&quot; as well as contracts with your recording label to consider. Then again, many bands come out with a great debut album and then just run out of ideas.

 

<< Then again, many bands come out with a great debut album and then just run out of ideas. >>


The thing is, your first album is a collection of everything you wrote your entire life. All the bad stuff gets weeded out overtime. So many people fall to the &quot;sophomore curse&quot; because the second album is just a bunch of slapped together material along with outtakes from the first album.

Limp are hopeless. They a) keep slapping stuff together, b) are 100% formula and c) are about as dumb as they come. Don't expect any deep experimental stuff from them any time soon. The best you'll get is Fred Durst making an ass out of himself doing his white boy raps.

A bunch of misconceptions here I'd like to straighten out:

1. I'M over 30 and I listen to Limp Bizkit.

2. Albums used to come out every SIX MONTHS! Look at the back of KISS's &quot;Smashes, Trashes and Greatest Hits&quot; and it has the release dates for their early records and until they did their solo albums, they dropped new product every six months.

The reason releases have gotten so far apart is that the record companies have such extended marketing strategies. Release a single and video, work it for 3-4 months until it starts slipping off the charts, repeat. If a band can pull more than 3 singles, then it may be over a year before the label lets the band into the studio again. Major label releases can take from three months to OVER A YEAR to record, mix, do art, etc. It adds up.

That's why Prince was so unhappy with Warner Brothers. He wanted to release tons of stuff, all the time, and WB just didn't know how to market to flood. (This is not to say it would've all been good.)

3. The Pixies dropped an album a year for five years straight before breaking up. Their last one was their best, though none of their records rated worse than &quot;really good&quot; in my book.

4. &quot;Significant Other&quot; is THE LB album to have. &quot;Three Dollar Bill, Y'all&quot; was the band finding it's legs and &quot;Chocolate Starfish...&quot; is the Fred revealing that he doesn't have more than a few tricks in his bag and we've heard them already. Some of the tracks RAWK!!! but overall, it shows that there's not a lot of there there, ya know?

5. I am a musician (see sig) and while I'm wrapping up our new CD, I have at least TWO more albums of solid material written and demoed and I'm still writing. Bands always say, &quot;We wrote 95 songs and recorded 32 of them and then picked the best 12.&quot;, and the record has only a few good tunes at best. I like to think that I only write a few good songs as opposed to tons of crap.

Hell...look at the Beatles. They wrote great, TIMELESS music through their entire run. They're an exception, of course, but some bands can crank out lots of good tunes over many years. Limp Bizkit ain't one of them.

 

[Valhalla1]

good.. good.. everyone seems to dislike it.

and I like it.

that means I'm not just going with the crowd. nya nya..

 

[Shudder]

Chef: I know Rage waits between albums. Their name appears in the quote so it's more than one word, but in the next line I don't mention them at all. While I don't particularly think their new stuff is very good or different from the rest, they did wait

I originally saw Limp Biz mid September of 97. Nothing special there either and for the most part kind of bad. A lot heavier which is why they probably weren't famous. Who can compete with wussies like Lit and 3rd Eye Blind singers when LB is throwing down some pretty heavy stuff. FF to present and they have appeal and cash in. The reason they'll fade out is because they haven't faded away from their previous album. Sure the first 3-4 songs from S.O. were fresh, but the next 1-2 will be just like them and when you have 6-7 songs on the radio that all sound the same, people get sick of you *ahemcreedcough*

When a band has a new album and I thought they were still playing things from the last one, that's not good.

For diversity between albums, I suggest Mr. Bungle. When I get a CD I really love, I listen to it to death. There's nothing more I would hate than for a band to release something that sounds just like the last one. Ugh.

 

[Harrisment]

Limp and Fatty Fred Durst Suck........

NIN and Trent &quot;GOD&quot; Reznor rock......

 

[bigjon]

Limp = Eminem = Suck

<edit> Actually the intrumental for MI-2 was pretty good </edit>

 

[Bling Bling]

Harrisment nailed it.


Fred sucks donkey balls. he's such a big pile of shiat.

 

[El Norm]

hehe i like the way u look at it Val

Limp bizkit rocks!

 

[freak-o-a-l]

I got the first LB album back when it first came out. It was okay, not excellent. I liked Counterfeit and a few other tracks but it wasn't an earth-shattering masterpeice of modern rock like mtv and such make it out to be. Significant blew except for maybe one song. And after hearing Chocolate Hot Dog whatever, I have officially declared LB as DOA. Damn, Fred Durst needs to learn respect others music. I mean that NIN track really came out of left field didn't it? I really wish Durst would just shut his mouth and realize that his band (I love when he says it's HIS and, like he owns everyone in it) isn't the best. I'm going to laugh so hard when the backlash begins and all those devout &quot;hardcore&quot; fans find another band to follow and LB is on VH1's &quot;Where are they now?&quot;

 

Limp have a track about NiN? What's the name of it, I have to check it out.

What the hell is wrong with Fred Durst and Eminem? They just keep making enemies. They are going to fall hard real soon.
