After three incredible albums, Limp Bizkit begin a downfall marked by goofing off, quarrels among members, and bad albums. And the Greatest (Greatezt?) Hitz proves it to us.
The 18 tracks trace the career of the Limp Biscuit from their early concerts alongside Korn (1995) to Fred Durst's ridiculous porn video (2005), the latter of which would end up negatively impacting the quintet's style. It starts with two hits from "Three Dollar Bill Y All" ("Counterfeit" and the cover of George Michael's "Faith") and continues with all those from the explosive "Significant Other", which demonstrate how at that time, Bizkit could effortlessly navigate between hip hop, alternative hard rock and what was left of grunge.
Despite the good quality of "Chocolate Starfish...", some of its tracks (primarily "My Generation", which in my opinion is much more MTV-oriented than the others) already contain the first signs of a decline in style. It concludes (perhaps in every sense) with three singles from "Results May Vary", which are bland and not very memorable, except "Build A Bridge", which is a bit more notable. For those interested, I also mention "The Truth" and some decent unreleased tracks.
