limpbizkit - results may vary

[heretic888]

LB's new album hit the shelves a week or two back.

Holy effin' nutz, I almost jizzed myself when I heard their new stuff. It blows away their new work, brings the band to really new levels. They have definitely reinvented themselves.

I know there are a few people on here that dislike the band, but I should mention that (for many reasons) they are a different band now than they were in the past.

The album's music itself was a lot more mature, the instrumentals very advanced (I think I even heard Mike Smith wip out a guitar solo during a song), and the music as a whole is a lot more melodic, rhythmic, and thoughtful. Fred does a lot more singing this time round than rapping or screaming.

Rest assured, however, there are quite a few 'old limpbizkit style' tracks on there for the nostalgic. Still, I gotta say I love this new album... the sheer creative depth is mindblowing.

Laterz, all. :wink:

*SMACK* Limp Bizkit *SMACK*

I heard some lyrics on that MTV album release show. Bleah. The music is pretty good, but it sounded too much like 8 outta ten bands that are out there right now.

He's done a 180 with his persona.... went from all about partying to being depresed and melodramtic. I personally think the 'new Durst' is an act to get more people to buy their album.

And when I get to Seattle, I plan on scratching off his note to Kurt. Too bad Fred missed out on picking up some talent from there.

Don't knock it until you've listend to it.

That's funny... because I have listened to the entire album and regularly listen to both the radio and *cough cough* 'underground' music. I can't think of any other recent band that sounds remotely like the new limpbizkit. Limpbizkit does sound a bit like some of the classic rock bands, though. Kinda Pink Floydish at times.

Too bad Freud ain't still around. He'd have fun with you. :D

*chuckles* I can't even begin to address the horrid misinformation in that quote.... :roll:

*looks to psychology textbook* Too bad, Sigmund, too bad.....

*chuckle* Laterz. :wink:

I'unno, Bizkit has always been a band I can take or leave. They have songs I like and songs I absolutely can't stand. I've yet to buy an album of theirs, but I have a few songs on a few compilation records. I heard one or two songs off the new record and I thought they were awful, so I'm not really interested in this one.

[Reznorite420]

Screw Limp Suckzit, er, Bizkit...what I'm waiting for is the next NIN Halo due by the end of this year :P

[jasonorme666]

Hmm... Rap Metal, while it was good for the Emo Rockers, And the Nu_metalers, Didnt really last long, and when Limp Bizkit's Wez Borland left, that screwed limp Bizkit for me up big time..


Limp Bizkit are just too soft for my liking.

I like bands that Scream & Shout and actully talk about somthing thats worth being "pissed" about. Not about some guys "Ge Ge Generation"

Limp bizkit are a easy market ploy, We Swear In Our Songs, And That Makes Us HARD!! and so little kids think there Bad Ass cuz they have a album that says the Forbiddden F WORD!!


Its like Linkin Park.
Metal My Arse!

[Kid Icarus]

I would continue on with this argument, but I really do have better things to do wtih my time then argue about music on a message board about mutant ninja turtles.

[Machias Banshee]

:goofygri: whenever I hear this group name, I'm reminded of a song Dan Akroyd sang on SNL as the Blues Brothers...


"Rubbah Biskit!"

[Leo656]

"Y'know people.... the other day... I did have, a Ricochet Biscuit! oh yeah, yeah, a Ricochet Biscuit. Now a Ricochet Biscuit is that kind, that particular brand of biscuit, that's supposed to bounce off the wall and back in yo' mouth. People if it don't bounce back... you go HUNGRY! Bow bow bow...."

:lol: That's such a great song. And it's STILL better than anything Limp ever did. :lol:

[Peanut]

I didn't even know Limp had a new cd out. I really don't care what other people say about Limp Bizkit or any other band for that matter. As long as I like the music I don't care what the view of the band/singer is. This band sold out and that band sold out. Shut up and listen to the music is all I say. I wouldn't care if Limp Bizkit called all their fans idiots for making them rich or any other band for that matter. As long as the music is good I'll be listening. I don't let my visions of the band interfere with my enjoyment of the music, which is hard to say about most people.

[GK Punk]

I haven't heard it yet, but It appears Crack Addict didn't make the final cut. I'm glad I have a studio leak of that song... I'll have to go buy it and check it out.

[That Matt Guy]

I thought Fred Durst died.

[GK Punk]

Thought, or hoped? :D :lol:

Every LB song I've heard to date just flat out sucks IMO. Then again, I'm not into that genre to begin with, save some of Kid Rock's stuff.

By griping the way you are right now and preaching a "don't knock it until you've tried it" attitude (in the sense that you try to convince people tenaciously until they succumb to your will) is no better than the people who bash the music outright. I don't like LB, and I never will. What's your problem with that? Who are you to say what I can and can't like, regardless of how much I've listened to? First impressions do count, you know.

[That Matt Guy]

Holy effin' nutz, I almost jizzed myself when I heard their new stuff.

With that statement, my opinion of you has been obliterated.

[jasonorme666]

What can you say

People are easily impressed these days

[Peanut]

Actually Rez you're way off base. I don't care if you don't like Limp Bizkit. I don't care if anyone does. I'm not a huge fan. I'm not trying to defend them. I know alot of people hate them. Sometimes it's justified cause they have songs that suck terribly. I was basically talking about jasons comment about them not being "hard" enough. While it's for sure they're softer than Slip Knot and things of the sort they are by no means a soft band. People look at Slip Knot and think "Man that is one hardcore band." just because of the way they dress. I'm not saying jason is an image guy too, I'm just stating a fact. People love to bash this band. Either for their "image" or in their music. If you bash them for the music. Hey go ahead. You have every right to think anything sucks, but bashing a band because of their image? People slam Avril Lavigne (sp?). She was huge. Then someone comes out and says "She's not really punk. She's a fake." so she ends up losing a bunch of fans who suddenly begin to call her fake. It doesn't matter how good her music sounded to them. It was all about the image. That's what I'm trying to get across. Not because of the comments made in this thread, but just because the thread is about Limp Bizkit and thier seems to be a large amount of hate pouring in on them from all sides(not in this thread), more for their image, than for their music.

[jasonorme666]

Image is one thing
Music is another

While somone Image may drawsomone to them, their image can also make people not like them, weither there music or good or not.

I know somone, who really like a song, it was until he saw what they look liked he totally didnt like it anymore.

I think of it this way, When you playing their music on there Stereo, you dont have to look at their faces.

Now, if you have a band that look cool Like Slipknot, (who dont actully intend to look kewl) and play good music, you have somthing speical.


You see, The idea being Slipknots masks was that they are not judged by their faced, and the way they look, its about the music and not what they look like.

But the Mask thing turned out to just make them bigger

[ZariusTwo]

"Results May Vary" is an album in which Fed Durst...cries.

then cries some more.

then cries again.

He's trying way too hard to make any of us even care that he's sorry for being a pompus moron, and the songs on the album siffer heavily

[That Matt Guy]

He cries? I think I might actually steal a copy of the CD just to hear that.

[jasonorme666]

lol, now you know why Fred and the singer of Staind sang "outside" together

cuz they are both whiney little bitches :D

[Peanut]

:lol:

[Voltron]

"And behold he opened the sixth seal, and Limp Bizkit and Staind were performing together. And the sun snuffed out, and the moon became brown as the **** that these two titans of suck were spewing out of their mouths." Voltron 55:31-34

[damnhooligan]

And so it was spoken on this day, the fifth of Octobre. And it was good. Amen.

[That Matt Guy]

:-?
And so it is written, and so it shall come to pass. Quothe the Raven... Nevermore.

[damnhooligan]

Somethin' like that.

[Voltron]

You have no idea how much trouble that got me into at church.

[GK Punk]

:-?
And so it is written, and so it shall come to pass. Quothe the Raven... Nevermore.

*holds up sign that says: MATTHEW = RATINGS*

[Leo656]

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaa........

If Matt is Raven... and GK is Lodi... would that make me...... Van Hammer?

[Machias Banshee]

better than MC Hammer... :P

[That Matt Guy]

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaa........

If Matt is Raven... and GK is Lodi... would that make me...... Van Hammer?

Van Hammer, or maybe Reece.

[heretic888]

It's alarming, but not surprising, the number of people here that have such a sociocentric understanding of music and art.

Oh well, to each his (or her) own. :roll:

[Leo656]

Or maybe... maybe... some people just don't think Limp Bizkit is anything special. I know I sure don't.

Surprisingly, the few songs I like of theirs are more rap-sounding, like "N2gether Now" or however it's spelled. But for the most part they never particularly struck me as anything "different" or "better" than any other of the rap/rock or "NuMetal" bands that blew up big a few years ago. A few songs I like, a few I hate, and a few I can take or leave.

[heretic888]

Or maybe... maybe... some people just don't think Limp Bizkit is anything special. I know I sure don't.

Ahem. Same thing, my friend. :roll:

The fundamental problem in most 'art criticism' today (whether popular or professional) is that most people don't realize that just because they don't see the value in a song or painting... does not mean it's not any good.

The notion that the 'problem' might be with the person's perception, rather than the artwork, is absolutely beyond most people. It's quite sad, really.

[Leo656]

Well let's be fair then "pal", and recognize I never said YOU couldn't like Limp Bizkit, just that *I* don't think they're all that great (despite the fact I'm listening to "Break Stuff" right now).

And don't roll your eyes at me lest you wanna taste'o the back o'me hand. Drop the 'tude. I got no problem with you, and you ARE a sharp guy, but you DON'T know more about everything than everyone else does. And even if you do, you still wipe front to back like everybody else, so chill out.
