Limp Bizkit - Gold Cobra a letdown

[nqcowboy87]

Yes that and The Unquestionable I believe are the only non Wes Borland albums.

borland was on unquestionable truth, their drummer wasnt cause he was in rehab for drugs

But I still enjoy listening to significant other and chocolate starfish

Yeah gets a run every couple of months from me.

 

[Red Bear]

Discussing Limp Bizkit seriously? Really?

I liked them, like most others my age, for a few months around 2000-2001 where they are the most rebellious band in the world cos they frequently said f**k but geez, listening to them again they are woeful

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

I liked LB growing up and still dont mind their older stuff, $3 bill, S.O, RMV and Choco Starfish. But cold cobra is the worst they have dished out, IMO their is wayyyy too much rapcore going on.. Atleast the earlier albums still had a bit of loudness to them, this is just like a hip hop record. Perhaps I am just old, maybe if this album was released in 2000 and starfish was released today I would think starfish is terrible and gold cobra was awesome..

Limp bizkit are good when they stick to what they are good at, I have only listened to the title track thus far and its what they are good at, I dont think it is that bad albeit I havent listened to the album as yet.

 

[sydraider]

Does anyone else think that Nu Metal was 10 years too late? its the type of bullshit that would have thrived with the social networking generation imo

Exactly. They should stick to what they're good at - this album is pretty much what made them big in the first place.

[Shorty]

Geez this takes me back.
They have aged horribly, sometimes their music comes on my ipod and I go...wow.
S.O is their best album imo.

Tell you what though, listening to Re-arranged after a break up is very helpful lol.

Durst went to high school with my sister in law in North Carolina (Gastonia)............ that's all I got!!! hahaha!!!

I f**king hate nu metal, Korn, Limp Bizkit, all that shiiiiiiit. Deftones is about the only band I rate from that era.

and the raps are terrible even worse than chocolate or signifcant or 3$yall, and what makes it worse is durst is a white man in his mid to early forties rapping like some untalented highschool punk

i must say though, however , i listen to rollin a lot, its my guilty pleasure song

Boiler from Chocolate Starfish was my fave break up song when I was an angsty 19 y.o :lol:

 

[Red Bear]

Well, yes. Yes they are. Having listened extensively to both I can make that judgement, have you listened to both?

 

[Eelementary]

I have. And I hate punk music. It is awful. And yet I would still listen to LB over punk.

But my point was mainly asking why you were so incredulous that people were discussing LB's contributions to music in a serious context - talented or not, they have achieved far more for music on a global scale than Frenzal Rhomb ever has and ever will. Whether they are brilliant or shit is irrelevant, really - they were massive in the late '90's, and that's what drove people to buy this new album.

Yeah Boiler is fantastic, actually very emotive.
It's a shame because I rate Wes as a guitarist...he was able to make his own unique sort of sound but I think they were just too one dimensional.

listened to CS today...Hold On is a great song

agreed, whether you like them or not limp bizkit had a massive impact on modern music

 

[natheel]

Limp bizkit were massive

BUT

I just can't like them more than the beloved frenzal rhomb. All very talented on their respective instruments. Tom is an awesome bassist
