THE REVIEW

(I've decided, now that the broadband allows me, to review every album I own... this is the first one I noticed in my vast collection).

I received it as a gift when I was about ten years old, back when the music playing in my player was still called Backstreet Boys or stuff like that, and I must say it shocked me quite a bit... it was so that I let it gather quite a bit of dust before finally putting it in my player (a couple of years later) deservedly. The unapologetic rapping of that womanizer Durst won me over, the riff and Borland's look made me really want to play the drums, so much so that I learned "My Generation" without ever taking lessons. Listening to it again today reminds me of days spent listening to "Rollin'", singing well only the fucks that had so intrigued me, shouted with that damn energy! And then, no one can doubt the quality of some tracks like "My Way" or "Take A Look Around". Seeing the old Fred today almost makes me sad, someone who now prefers to say he's had sex with Britney Spears to appear in the newspapers rather than producing a decent album... let's be honest, after this album, the biscuit production reached really low levels; anyway, since there are no half marks, I give it a 3 (some tracks a bit below average) waiting for better times... Ciaus... YOU WANNA FUCK ME LIKE AN ANIMAL...

 It’s been almost 5 years since it came out, but it still doesn’t bore me when I listen to it.

 This album is designed to jump, headbang, and go wild to the rhythm of Durst’s 'fucks'... and that’s it.

 This CD is a disgrace, 75 minutes of pathetic music, which is just a distant relative of the excellent tracks from the first album.

 Where have the Limp Bizkit gone? The ones who made fun of George Michael by singing 'Faith'?


By Dexster

 This is one of the best albums made in the USA released in 2000!

 An album rich in sounds, capable of alternating moments of madness with slightly more introspective moments.


By PogoPaiasso

 You only need to be 12 years old with an empty head to understand this album.

 Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water is such a megalomaniac album that it ends up being decidedly HARMLESS.
