Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
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

1.0 out of 5 stars Recorded in a Middle School Bathroom, February 11, 2001

By	[e-mail] (Meadowview, VA) - See all my reviews

I would like to give praise to my friend Aaron's insightful review of Limpbizkit's brand, spanking new piece of filth and Fred Durst has dubbed "Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water. Indeed, after listening to every song on this album, did I agree that a good, old fashioned kick to the love rocket is more enjoyable than this waste of good plastic, hell at least you feel something for god's sake! Back in 1998, I happened to catch Fred and the band thrashing it out on the Fashionably Loud portion of MTV's Spring Break. Well, that did it. The next day, everyone was buzzing about this hard new band. In May, of 1999. I purchased Three Dollar Bill Y'all, nothing special, but pretty good nonetheless. And there you have it, I was a full-fledged Limpbizkit fan, as was everyone else. And then, in July of 1999, Significant Other came out. I rushed to Target and bought it, only to discover... The Bizkit had been broken. What the hell was this!? Fred had even stopped screaming! And started devoting his time to pathetic attempts at rapping and crooning! Screw that I said, I didn't even take the time to sell the cd, I gave it to my cousin for free, and I don't doubt for a minute that she threw it out the window upon returning home. After Significant Other hit the charts, Limp was awarded with praise, so much praise in fact, that later on, he would named the Vice President of Interscope! Hmmm. So let me get this straight... if I write a bunch of idiotic lyrics and set it to equally bad music, I could become one of the head honcho of a major record label without any previous experience? WHERE DO I SIGN UP?!!! With that, Fred became immersed in a major ego trip, a trip that to this day, he is still on. Insulting bands that he feels to be inferior but aren't, like Creed, Taproot, and Nine Inch Nails, the latter I have been a fan of for a long time and threatening bands that don't sign with him. Screw Fred! And screw this piece of crap! You might as well hide a mike in a middle school bathroom if you want lyricism Fred! Marvel at his maturity as his spits out insults and the F-Word at the same time in HOT DOG! OOH AHH! Fred basically repeats the same thing in every song. The whole album can be summed up with these words, "Dont f**k with me, I am the s**t, I didn't get enough love as a kid please give me some attention, I couldn't get chicks until I became famous and when I do get chicks I treat them like garbage, I dumped Carmen Electra I AM SMART! WOW!, I sure do wish I was black", and "Nasal voices sell!" There, I just saved you $15.00. You can thank me later dog. Buy something good like the Deftones or Tool, how about some Cake or some AC/DC? Anything but this, now if you'll excuse me, I have to search for Fred, so I can make him eat this cd.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, March 31, 2001

By A Customer

Quite possibly the worst album of 2000, and that's saying a lot, since there has been some pretty bad albums. I'm sick and tired of all this rapmetal/numetal garbage. There are good rap/hip hop albums you can buy, and there are some good hard rock/heavy metal albums you can buy. Sure, it was new and inventive when Anthrax and Biohazard did it(that's right kids, they invented it) , but all the bands who do it now suck. Limp Bizkit is one of the many bands right now who are just riding off of KoRn and Rage's success(both of those bands rule). I think it's funny how the real MC's on this album make Fred look even worse at rapping that he already is. and Who does Fred think he is trying to mock Trent Reznor? Trent Reznor is everything that Fred wishes that he could be. Let's do a brief comparison: Trent Reznor has been in Nine Inch Nails for 11 years, and is acclaimed by both fans and critics alike as a musical genius, Fred Durst is just an idiot who has only been around for a few years, and who is just cashing in on KoRn and Rages success, and who uses the "F word" every other word in a song just because he can't think of any other lyrics. Try getting Mer De Noms, by A Perfect Circle, White Pony, by the Deftones, Master of Puppets, by Metallica, or save up for the new Tool album, don't buy this Garbage.

1.0 out of 5 stars I Hate My Generation, February 2, 2001

By	Ken Neld (Maine) - See all my reviews

I don't know... I guess I just feel bad for people who think this is good music. Yeah, I'm a music snob, but you have to be in this day and age. I'm afraid people who listen to this stuff will just never know how amazing music can be.

If this is the sound of my generation, well then yes... I hate my generation.
