Limp Bizkit
Significant Other

THE REVIEW

1999 Anno Domini, the biscuit has deflated after spitting out all its rage in its debut and returns to the market with a manifesto of NuMetal, the aforementioned "Significant Other" which will grant Durst's band fame, success, and many, many (and still many) dollars.
You can say whatever you want about the Bizkit (the discussion would last a couple of weeks I think), whether you love them or hate them, they are quite the cunning foxes and their singer is one of the most famous businessmen in America, becoming one of the bosses at Interscope.
Fred saw it well, the heavy and bulky sound of the excellent debut needed to be softened and lightened, it had to become more accessible, and so here come Terry Date and Brendan O'Brien as the personnel ready to assist good old Durst in the creation of the new work.
The result is truly remarkable, and the masterpiece that will emerge will be one of the most successful works in this field.

"Significant Other" relies on truly remarkable tracks, just mention Nookie, Break Stuff, and Re-arranged to understand the drive of the album, the band is truly in excellent shape with the work of the 5 here still focused more on quality than on appearances.
The album flows excellently, with many noteworthy tracks: I'm Broke is very heavy, Nobody Like You relies on a nice staccato with a well-structured chorus enhanced by the unmistakable voices of Jonathan Davis and Scott Weiland, curious but well-executed is also the collaboration with Method Man in the hip hop of N2gether Now.

The Bizkit's lyrics are impactful and always amusing, like quarrelsome teenagers focused on casual relationships and often with a double meaning.
A point of comparison with the debut is Durst's singing when the singer was more focused on shouting and spitting out the bile, here we find him in the role (which will later be definitive) of a true rapper, and it's obvious that he feels completely at ease in this role.
Everything rests on a bass-drum rhythm section that makes one envious, while Wes Borland and DJ Lethal enrich the sound with their very personal style.

Great album, there's truly nothing else to say, the Bizkit sound finds its definitive formula here and is expressed at its highest levels.
Great work Limp Bizkit, great work Durst, too bad the toy then breaks.....
