Free Music Review: Limp Bizkit - Significant Other
Hit: 5 Stars
The best Limp Bizkit album in my opinion. The best sound and production out of all of there albums. This had a long replay value from me, I listened to it alot. This was the last good LB album before fred durst sold out. He made the wrong choice with their next album they made. This one gots a lot of classic joints, especially the one with Method Man, that ones a BANGER! But if your debating on which LB album to get, this is the one.

- RETROSPECT REVIEW
~Del Keyes in 1999 (or "9 teen 90 nine")~
WOW! THIS ALBUM IS COOL! It has a lotta awesome tracks, I love Just Like This, Nookie, Break Stuff, ALL OF IT! This is my first Limp Bizkit album, and it shows how much I want my music to be, nothing but rock and rap, two music together. Ain't it great?! I'm so devoided to the band that I bought the red hat that Fred wears in his videos, I'm so cool. There's no pop crap in here, it's all metal and headshaking, something that should be no. 1 in the TRL.
BACKSTREET BOYS SUCK!
~Del Keyes in 2006~
I was 13 and had little taste in the music variety, alright. Even so, to this day, I still have my positive moments listening to this album. I can understand why real music fans don't like a group like Limp Bizkit: they're loud, they're egotistical, and they are not that versitile; I mean, it's a follically-challanged frontman with a "gangsta-image" rapping about nonsense in every chorus with his ear-shattering screaming voice, how versitile is that? But just because I realize this album is as deep as a brick, it doesn't mean I don't appreciate "Nookie" as much as I was in my mid years.
Musically, as a metal-rap album, it sounds like a metal-rap album. It has Wes Borland playing some heavy guitar riffs while DJ Lethal scratching some vinyls to give the metal attitude of the songs a hip-hop style. Even if you hate the group, you gotta love these guys for what they do. I love when Lethal does his solo intermissions after "Re-Arranged" and "Trust?", and if it wasn't for Borland's unique sense of on-key riffing, I wouldn't get into songs such as "I'm Broke" or "Break Stuff"...even though it's almost the same sound in each one. No doubt "N 2 Gether Now" is the best song of the bunch, because it shows how actually well Fred Durst can rap and keep the same tone, and with Method Man in the mix, it's the best of both worlds...for the 90s. As with Durst's singing like in "Re-Arranged"...he convinced me; he doesn't have a wonderful voice, but at least he's follows the notes.
"Significant Other" is good for what it is: a trashy, style-over-substance, metal-rap LP for the angst-driven society with social issues. It's also contains some very well-produced music and beats. No offense to some, but I rather listen to "Nobody like you" over and over again instead of that awful Southern Rap that's popular at this time. That song, along with the Huey Lewis-lyrical-inspired "Show Me What You Got", are the only two songs that I now considered weak, because one's too angsty and obnoxious while the other just feels dated. As far as the lyrics go...well, I learned the less I know, the better.
Still, this is the perfect album to listen to when I'm playing fast racing games like "Burnout." It has that sort of "I-can't-take-it-anymore" mood, and it takes it to the limit, so it's a guilty pleasure for my constant mood swings. In retrospect, I don't regret myself for having "Significant Other" when I was young. The only thing I can regret on is buying the group's subsequent album, "Chocolate Starfish"; that album was a piece of ****.
Free Music Review: I really enjoy this album--so sue me!

When Limp Bizkit released "Significant Other" in 1999, they were not only very popular, but almost everyone thought they were a promising young band who showed real, credible songwriting skills. Now, I'm not a Limp Bizkit fanatic, but the truth about this album is, if you listen to it with an open mind, you should realize it is actually pretty good. Gratuitous profanities and self-absorbed lyrics (which littered later Limp Bizkit releases) aren't present, here, and some songs (like "Re-Arranged," "No Sex," and "A Lesson Learned") have introspective lyrics which are actually pretty mature! Plus, in addition to being very catchy and somewhat exciting, "Significant Other" has a variety of songs, so it covers all of the bases. "Just Like This" is a nearly danceable intro track, while songs like the infamous "Nookie," "Breakstuff," and "I'm Broke" are quite mean, energetic, and heavy. "N 2 Gether Now" is a full fledged rap song (with a guest spot from members of Wu Tang Clan), "Don't Go Off Wandering" is somewhat creepy, "Show Me What You Got" is a kiss-off which seems made to get the mosh pits swirling, and "A Lesson Learned" is a very slow, depressing, partially a capella ballad. This might not be saying much, but "Significant Other" is Limp Bizkit's finest hour. It's a good album, it is arguably rap-rock at its finest, and it actually proves that Limp Bizkit know how to write a few good songs. So you have my approval to go ahead and buy this album (especially if you have Nineties nostalgia)...just don't tell any of your friends. Free Music Review: Best LB
Hit: 5 Stars
My favorite LB album. It is their best work and does not deserve to be trashed the way it is. You can't compare this band to metal bands like Metallica or Megadeth, they are very different but that does not mean they suck. I didn't like LB at first and recently started disliking them again because of hearing their last two albums often but then I listened to this CD again and remembered why I liked them. Some people naturally hate rap/metal, others hate LB for their exposure but if you only care about music and aren't phobic to this style of music then this a good CD. Say what you want but LB is the best rap/rock band apart from maybe HED P.E. which fell a lot lower than LB with their latest work. Oddly it's the lyrics that got worse with both bands.

When this album came out I remember two guys at school arguing about this group, one guy was saying that this album was so great that it blends rap and metal and turns into a masterpiece," I mean this album will always be a classic" he said " they will sure save metal and become pioneers of rock". The other guy said that this band is dumb and terrible at best and that real metal was Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Pantera,Slayer and metallica and this band will fade out soon. I believed the first guy he said that they had great riffs and a hardcore singer and wow I felt duped buying it. First off if you bought this album and hate them now we should have a support group and sue Bizkit and their label for mental anguish and failure to put out a great product. To the album itself, My question is who told Fred he could sing, rap and write lyrics and how Nookie was ever popular at all. The guitar is good at best and I thought man where have all the riffs and solos gone. DJ was not a good add here, too many unnecessarry scratches and non guitar sounds. The songs were very immature, now I see why they were popular because it appealed to stoners and teens who spent hours watching MTV, they also never had any depth whatsoever which is only a recipe for a one hit wonder instead of musical classic or a genius work. At ending this group may have turned several good nu metal bands into pirayas and ultimately resulted into the dumbing down of the world, just look at their fans and ask yourself any question about them.
