Rating: 20 years ago, that crap (in my opinion) Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water was released, which, from the title alone, foreshadowed a triumph of sounds capable of capturing the masses increasingly interested in the Nu-Metal phenomenon at the time. That's how it went, except that the interested masses consisted of a bunch of nitwits of the worst kind, and more importantly, Nu-Metal wasn't talked about (and perhaps never has been) much anymore. Limp Bizkit did create the only album (their debut) classifiable as Rap-Metal (excluding, of course, the entire Bio-Hazard discography), but otherwise, we ended up in the horrible melting pot of crossover... Nu-Metal was never their thing. As I said before, the masses were attracted simply because Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water is a record that, to be understood (better not to dwell on the lyrics), you only need to be 12 years old with an empty head. I myself (even today) have never dared to read the lyrics because (as one might guess) they are of RARE ignorance, I've always conceived it as a party album. The mood for listening is this: we are all together and want something that makes us party without actually understanding what is happening... something carefree, something IGNORANT!
If we then want to discuss the songs, I can say that: Hot Dog could have been sssssizzling except that Fred Durst repeats the word FUCK a whopping 48 (AND I SAY 48) times, causing discomfort. My Generation (especially live) is the right cover to unleash chaos and not understand anything; Wes Borland's riff, despite its lack of complexity, drives the track in an apt way, and DJ Lethal's scratch before the final chorus remains legendary for me. Unfortunately, Durst will ruin everything with his absolutely gratuitous fucks & pieces of shit. Livin It Up, if you take only the guitar, would be a good start to experiment with a groove-metal track with futuristic sounds, but IT IS NOT SO. The famous Rollin (a track that made a splash) is one of the most useless and empty songs (suitable for such an album) ever conceived. Full Nelson (a term now in pornographic slang) with its avalanche of obscenities is supposed to mimic (in terms of sound) Stuck and Counterfeit (first album) almost entirely failing. Boiler is the strongest piece of this crappy album; it's no coincidence it was chosen by the fans despite Durst and his megalomaniac nonsense. Take a Look Around, on the other hand, is part of the great classics of the genre; it's a piece (I regret to say) impeccable in every respect and rightly ascended to the top of the charts. To conclude, I want to mention It’ll be ok, a track with a very slow mood (unknown to many and very appreciated by me) which, in the closing riff, unleashes in me a sensation difficult to describe... I just know it's pleasant.
To close the discussion, I say that Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water is such a megalomaniac album that it ends up being decidedly HARMLESS. I don't recommend it to ANYONE unless you want to feel like empty pumpkins or simply want to listen to what could have been the first “””””trap””””” album (trap because it's empty and useless) of 2000.

08 The One (05:43)
i'm from all the loneliness and this is how i feel,
understanding everything has never been my deal,
maybe you have crossed my path to live inside of me
or maybe you're the reason why i'm losing all my decency
but i believe that you and me
we could be so happy and free
inside a world of misery
and i believe that you and me
we could be so... inside of you inside of me
'coz this could be the one this could be the one
this could be the one this could be the one
i've been lookin', lookin', lookin'
i've been lookin' for my mrs. right but she don't exist
chemistry is everything
and we're anything but this
maybe i have crossed your path to sweep you off your feet
or maybe i'm the reason why you cry at night before you sleep
but i believe that you and me
we could be so happy and free inside a world of misery
and i believe that you and me we could be so...
inside of you inside of me
'cuz this could be the one
this could be the one
this could be the one
this could be the one
what do you think?
we could give it a try
'cause you never know maybe we could be soul mates ,
but maybe not or maybe so
if you never try, then you'll never know
the grass could be greener (could be)
and it'll always be greener on the other side
but you just never know.
This could be the one
i do believe that you and me
we could be so happy and free inside a world of misery
and i believe that you and me,
we could be so...
inside of you inside of me
'cause this could be the one
this could be the one
this could be the one
this could be the one
maybe so or maybe not
who knows?
If you're alone
I know why
If you can hide
Then go hide away
But I want you to stay
and blow me away
I want you to stay
and blow me away
If you're alone
don't you cry
If you can hide
Then go hide away
I want you to stay
and blow me away
I want you to stay
and blow me away
I want you to stay
and blow me away

Making your jaw split
When I'm touching the mosh pit
Constant conflict
Knock you faggots unconscience
Nauseous, raising the stakes
Increasing the weight
Got homies I can lay down
And lift their plate
So quit trying to invade my space
Before I call for a face to face
And gotta rest my case
This is how we do it
Just recognise
We can get you right to it
Look into these eyes
Look into these eyes
And you'll see the size of the fame
Then you might despise
The size of my game
Step the fuck back
Xzibit's on the track
You shoulda buckled up
Before your head hit the dash
You gotta hate that
A demo from an eight track
Brought me to a place
Where platinum comes in eight stack, bitch
You don't wanna fuck with me today
Cause a little somethin' somethin'
Didn't go your way
So try not to feel like that today
Cause I'm a real mutherfucker from
Round the way

10 Take a Look Around (05:21)
All the tension in the world today
All the little girls fillin' up the world today
When the good comes to bad, the bad comes to good
But I'ma live my life like I should (like I should)
Now all the critics wanna hit it
To Shit can how we did it
Just Because they don't get it
But I'll stay fitted
New era committed
Now this red cap gets a rap from his critics
Do we always gotta cry?
Do we always gotta live inside a lie?
Life's just a blast
It's moving really fast
You better stay on top or life will kick you in the ass
Follow me into a solo
Remember that, kid
So what you wanna do?
And where you gonna run
When your starin' down the cable of a-
A mic pointed at your grill like a gun
It's Limp Bizkit rockin the set
It's like Russian Roulette
When your placin your bet
So don't be upset
When your broke
And your done
'Cause I'ma be the one
'Til I jet
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
Cuz hate is all the world has ever seen lately
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
Now I know why you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately
Why you want to hate me?
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
Now you wanna hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
Now you wanna hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
Does anybody really know the secret
Or the combination for this life and where they keep it
It's kinda sad when you don't know the meaning
But everything happens for a reason
I don't even know what I should say
'Cause I'm an idiot, a loser, a microphone abuser
I analyze every second I exist
Beaten on my mind every second with my fist
Everybody wanna run (run)
Everybody wanna hide from the gun (gun)
You can take a ride through this life if you want
But you can't take that edge off that knife (no sir)
And now you want your money back (money back)
But your denied 'cause your brains fried from the sack
And there ain't nothing I can do
'Cause life is a lesson you'll learn it when your through
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
Now I know why you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately
Now you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately
Now you wanna hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately
Now I know why...
Now I know why...
Now I know why...
Now I know why...
Now I know why you wanna hate me
Now I know why you wanna hate me
Now I know why you wanna hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
12 Boiler (07:00)
Looks like I'm a do everything myself
Maybe I could use some help
but hell, if ya want somethin' done right
you gotta do it yourself
Maybe life is up and down
but my life's been what till now?
I crawled up your butt somehow
and that's when things got turned around
I used to be alive
Now I feel pathetic
and now I get it
What's done is done
You just leave it alone and don't regret it
sometimes, and some things, turn into dumb things
and that's when you put your foot down
Why did I have to go meet somebody like you?
(Like you)
Why did you have to go hurt somebody like me?
(Like me)
How could you do somebody like that?
(Like that)
Hope you know that I'm never coming back
(Never coming back)
Looks like I'm a do everything myself
(Everything myself)
Maybe I could use some help
but hell, if ya want somethin' done right
you just do it yourself
(Got it?)
Maybe life is up and down
but my life's been (what?)
till now (got it)
I crawled up your butt somehow (got it)
and that's when shit got turned around (got it)
I used to be alive
I'm so pathetic
but now I get it
What's done is done
I know you just leave it alone and don't regret it
sometimes, and some things turn into dumb things
and that's when you put your foot down
Why did I have to go meet somebody like you?
Why did you have to go hurt somebody like me?
How could you do somebody like that?
Hope you know that I'm never comin' back
Why did I have to go meet somebody like you?
Why did you have to go hurt somebody like me?
How could you do somebody like that?
Hope you know that I'm never comin' back
Depending on you is done
Giving to you is done
No more eating, no sleeping, no living
It's all just more giving to you
and I'm done
Depending on you is done
Giving to you is done
No more eating, no sleeping, no living
It's all just more giving to you
and I'm done
The hiding from you is done
The lying from you is done
No more eating, no sleeping, no living
It's all just more giving to you
and I'm done
Why did I have to go meet somebody like you?
Why did you have to go and hurt somebody like me?
How could you do somebody like that?
I hope you know that I'm never coming back
Why? Why? Why?
13 Hold On (05:47)
Scott:
You keep your distance, I can't deny you
I've got the feeling, can't satisfy you
I've got your picture on the wall
I've got the picture, long gone
You keep your wishes I'll keep my feelings
There goes another one that kept me breathing
I'm waiting for you I know your leaving
I still adore you, you never need me
Hold on
I found another way to let you go away
Hold on
You found another way to bleed my soul away
Fred:
The things you told me to hear you speak
I'm burning slowly I'm growing weak
You bring me closer to yesterday
Yesterday's a million miles away
Why can't you hear me? Why can't I sleep?
And I don't understand what keeps me breathing
I'm waiting for you I know your leaving
I'll still adore you, you'll never need me
Hold on
I found another way to let you go away
Hold on
You found another way to bleed my soul away

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.
By (sic)
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 JULIAN HAMPSHIRE1
The unapologetic rapping of that womanizer Durst won me over.
Listening to it again today reminds me of days spent listening to 'Rollin’', shouting with that damn energy!
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.
