Free Music Notes for Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water
Free Music Review: It's sad to see what some people call "music"
Hit: 1 Stars
Has it really come to this? So-called "rock bands" are actually reasoning that instead of catchy melodies, hard-edged riffs, original song arrangements, emotional singing and screaming and infectious guitar solos, they'd rather try to fit as many "f" words into their lyrics as coherence will allow on top of a distorted, mid-tempo beat? This album really does epitomise everything that music should not be. All that this really is is some guy in a red baseball cap moaning about how life sucks in order to appeal to a shallow teenage market with some guitars in the background so that he can claim it's rock music. Avoid at all costs. Free Music Review: "1*2*3 to the 6 / Chosen for your fix on the Limp Bizkit mix!"
Hit: 5 Stars
New old review, coming from one I wrote under "Chris" last August 5th.
If the Limp Bizkit CD is so annoying for you, remember that it is just a piece of plastic!
You can feel offended when someone in *real life* goes "Hot Dog" on you. As for this 2000 LP, That's (Music) Entertainment!
Real life is sexed up "Dancing With the Stars" and shoot em' up violence on "24".
Real life is Terrell Owens' antics which sells Eagle jerseys and shoots up ESPN ratings.
Do you read Star and US Weekly at the grocery store?
Rap-rock is everything about attitude and nothing to do with actual behavior-- whether on a fictitious DVD or on the next Celebrealty show.
__ An attitude exaggerated and cartoonish, nethertheless, it is just Fred Durst speaking with the volume turned up. __
I mean with rap-rock music, attitude comes before talent; talented artists range from Avenged Sevenfold to KanDre West to Fiona Apple, but what is the difference between them?
Singing is just music; rapping speaks to you. And not the monotone "flow" rhyming over looped Scott Storch basslines. Like The Game can`t rock the mic and say "Now I know why you want to hate me! (the Limp song Take A Look Around) " to 50 Cent and G-Unit .
The kids loved that angsty nu-metal, yet "My Generation" never made those suburbanites terrible adults. It wouldn't make you one if you listened, too.
-- Image is nothing. Thirst is everything.
Guess how long that lasted.
Free Music Review: crap no stupid
Hit: 1 Stars
this is the worst album ever made. it is lousy music. the lousy theme music for lazy slob civilians. you see, this album is a guide to civilian life in clubs and drugs. no. his voice grates at your brain like a cheese grater with no quarter given. Free Music Review: Back in 2000...
Hit: 1 Stars
What has been said about how bad Limp Bizkit is and how they totally destroyed rap-metal, nu-metal and mostly American mainstream music has already been said. Fred Durst must be the biggest jerk in music. He knows that everybody hates him, so he openly calls out other people in rock music who obviously have a lot more talent then he does. Fred Durst will rot in music hell (if there is one) along with Britney Spears and N-SYNC. But in case you are just getting into music, I have the legend of 2000, a time when music took the biggest downfall ever since hair metal...
In late 2000, I was 14 years old. If you were cool, you must have had Limp Bizkit's "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" and Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP". Both albums and artists sucked. I will tell you right now. But, if you were a white suburban 14 year old, you must of had these albums and must of listened to it non-stop to be cool. You also had to wear baggy jeans with your boxers hanging out, a long wallet chain and your headphones under your ears. It was just the fad. I was tempted to do this because everybody in my school was doing it. But, I was just getting into descent rock music and skipped this one because after hearing and seeing these songs on MTV and the radio, I realized how bad they really were.
Now, it's 5 years later and everybody who was buying and listening to Limp Bizkit realize how they helped destroy nu-metal and rap-metal. Hell, nu-metal was descent before that (System of a Down, Helmet, Faith No More) but everybody saw how Limp Bizkit made a hell of a lot of cash and copied them. Limp Bizkit destroyed nu-metal by themselves, but they started they started the destruction of rap-metal. After them, everybody was and still are a rap-metal group... and they all suck. Anthrax and Rage Against the Machine are the only rap-metal groups that count. If you confuse Rage with Limp Bizkit, then you should be destroyed. Rage Against the Machine were one of the most talented group of musicians from the 1990's. Tom Morello was 10 times a better player then Wes Borland and Zack de la Rocha's lyrics actually meant something, besides what Fred Durst says: "F--- this motherf---ing f---er f--- this up the motherf---ing f---."
That was cool in 2000, but now in 2006 people know that American mainstream music, nu-metal and rap-metal are dead and buried. The only talent left in mainstream music is the Foo Fighters, and even though I aint a fan, they have actual talent and I respect them for having such a huge fanbase and a huge influence. But now every nu-metal band is an Alice in Chains or Pearl Jam rip-off (Creed, Nickelback, Staind, Puddle of Mudd) and they all suck. And I can't even start how many bands ripped off Rage Against the Machine and are nowhere near them. Fred Durst said that he wanted to be like RATM. I got a few words of wisdom for you Fred, "You suck and you will never be Rage Against the Machine". If you want great rap-metal, pick up anything by Rage Against the Machine or Anthrax. Just avoid everything else labeled rap-metal.
You want a review of the CD? Just take a look at every other review for any other Limp Bizkit album and there you go. For the people who said Limp Bizkit's old albums like Three Dollar Bill Y'all and Significant Other were good... get a life and stop watching MTV. Hell, can they can be worse than Korn? At least Korn got off to a descent start. Unlike Limp Bizkit, they never had talent and never will... Thank God it is all over because they just released a Greatest Hits album!
Free Music Review: Guilty pleasure
Hit: 3 Stars
much like several other artists, particularly rappers who dont rhyme (petey pablo, im talkin about you) but somehow you end up drunk at the bar putting in 50 cents to hear a song that sober you complain about the lyrical content this album is a guilty pleasure. is it good? not at all. have i listened to many of the tracks more times than i would ever be willing to admit in polite company? sadly, yes. if you want something that will amaze you from a lyrical standpoint, pick up something else: Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, or Rage Against the Machine all fit the bill. if you want something for its musical genious, this album is not for you: Hendrix, Tool, Nirvana, Soundgarden or Pink Floyd would do you better. however, if you want the musical equivalent of watching Demolition Man or getting drunk with your high school buddies off of liquor you swiped from your parents (ie, fun, stupid, guaranteed to make for embarassing stories, and somehow fantastic) pick it up. what can i say, its amusing. (by the way, Sly rules)
