Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water

The splicing together of nu metal, rap, funk, and sterile electronica laced with dark melodies as infectious as anything Britney has to offer inspired 6 million people to purchase copies of Limp Bizkit's Significant Other. With Chocolate Starfish, they perfect their formula. From the electro-infused "Intro" through the contagiously chugging "My Generation" to the straight-up rap of "Getcha Groove On," Chocolate Starfish is a slick, clinical, and flawless platform for Fred Durst's effortlessly savage--and occasionally unintentionally comic--sociological rants geared toward disaffected youth. Ultimately, though, it's that undeniably intelligent musical backdrop--the brooding guitar sound that gave the Mission Impossible 2 theme haunting new life and menace, and that defines "Hot Dog," "Full Nelson," "My Way," "Rollin'," "Boiler," and "It'll Be Okay"--that makes this a seething work of genius. The fact is, with rap and rock saying pretty much the same thing, Limp Bizkit have plenty of competition. They just do what they do better than everyone else. --Dan Gennoe Amazon.com

 Far from a joke...surprisingly awesome album
I'd have to say that this is LB's best album. The musical styles vary throughout, and yet they still manage to perform each song with perfection. Whether the song is mellow or pure thrash silliness, each member of LB puts their all into every track. This is definitely in my top 5 favorite albums. By the way, don't listen to the haters. IF LB really did suck, they wouldn't have gone 6x platinum (sold 6 million albums, according to the RIAA) for Chocolate Starfish. I don't think I'll ever understand the whiny haters. Get a life.

 Infantile, laughable, retarded, yet catchy.
There are many people who hate them, and many who love them. I kind of stand in the middle. At times, I think they have shown their potential, like with their first two albums. But lately, they have become more idiotic. Definitely a gimic band. This album was fun to listen to when you were drunk at a college party, or when you needed something mindless to sing along to on a long drive. I tend to be embarrassed that I own their albums when talking to other fans of the heavy music scene. I think that I have learned to stay away from any new bands that show similar qualities to LB, but God help me, when I was first getting into heavier music, LB was there to bridge the gap. All my friends were into it. My musical taste has become heavier over the years, but LB is still a guilty pleasure at times. I think they have a talent for writing good hooks, but Fred is not a good vocalist. Wes Borland is very talented, and I'm glad he was smart enough to branch out from LB and do his own thing, because it must have been suffocating to be in such a scripted band. Oh well. I take this album for what it is. Mindless fun with little lasting value. May 14, 2007

 IDIOTS!!
Oh my God! Somebody said they were the creators of thrash metal? That is the biggest piece of crap ever! Hello, thrash was back in like 1981, with Slayer and Tallica. Back when Fred Durst was waxing his mother's wang.

Limp Bizkit is quite possibly the worst band since WHAM. Even the Dixie Chicks could wipe the floor with 'em. All of their songs are they same poser bullcrap. They are a gimmick. How can you take a band seriously when they have a song like Hot Dog? And My Generation? That song is such crap. It is sad that a bunch of loser kids who like to think they are cool listen to Limp Bizkit. LIMP BIZKIT IS FOR LOSERS, POSERS, MORONS, IDIOTS, and Fred Durst's family members!!

Don't buy anything LIMP BIZKIT!!!

 Rap-metal at it's finest!
First off that dude that said that Limp Bizkit is the kreatorz of thrash metal, I agree. Not only can they mix thrash, speed, power, grunge, & all types of metal, but they can mix hip hop, funk, rap, & nice phat beats with'em as well. Fred Durst knows how to put his mind to it when comes to rap-metal genres & no this metal band is not, I repeat not nu-metal. This band is a hundred percent heavy metal with mixtures of rap vocals, oh yeah! To the haters below, whats the deal with hating on Limp Bizkit for, they're the real deal metal baby. But as me I like both rap music & metal music, epecially in combine form as naturally well! Limp Bizkit will indeed go down in all history in the heavy metal hall of fame.

P.S. Get the LB albums in permanent order:
1. 3 Dollar Bill Y'all
