Great for a skeet shoot that is. MAYBE it deserves 1 star for the Weiland appearance, because that's about the only song I've listened to more than once. True Bizkit is over, we saw it coming with Significant Other, this reinforced it. The Rap Remix of Rollin' will make your eyes roll (to any old Skool Bizkit fans). And rippin' on Trent and NIN went over the line. My official position? DEATH TO ADDIDAS ROCK!!!!

When this album came out when I was in the 8th grade. Everyone told me that this was a cool album and that I should hear it. My cousin gave me his cd for free. That already says that the album wasn't that good if he gave it to me for free. When I heard it I didn't see what the big deal was with this. All it is is Fred Durst trying to rap. Wes does play some heavy riffs though. The opening song I thought this was going to be something heavy but all fred is doing is talking smack about Trent Reznor from NIN. Fred Durst can't rap. No wonder why Eminem dissed him. Any one who thinks that Fred is a cool raper must have something wrong with them. Any way this album isn't worth buying. Thank God I didn't.

I dont even have this album, nor do i want it. Judging from what ive haerd on the radio, it all sounds the same. Like garbage. It's pretty sad when a lead singer counts the number of times he's cursed in a song. Yeah what thats Fred for ya. Red hat on, foul mouth, baggy pants. He's not rock, he's a walking fashion statement. Flip records? what a joke, limp bizkit only got where they are today through Korn, who they turned on in the end. With bands like this, rock will be dead in a matter of years. And what a shame, bands like Alice in Chains, STP, Soundgarden, who paved the way into the 90s, have to turn on thier radio and listen to Fred cursing up a storm, while Wes BORING plays the same string over and over. Overall, good job Limp Bizkit, this is what u wanted right? Your names all over TV, money pooring in, forget the music. u cant even play anyway.

I love this album. It's so ultra heavy, and I know that I'm really alternative because I listen to it. The lyrics are great, the guitar parts are so hard to play, and my God the vocals! Fred Durst is an absolute genius.

A modern masterpiece. Great stuff.

Almost as great as sarcasm.

Limp Bizkit is the antithesis of everything that makes metal
metal. Their music is absolutely devoid of intelligent thought.
Instead,you get pure idiocy in the guise of revolution; they're
trying to sell pseudorebellious anger to suburb kids armed with
mommy and daddy's money at the mall who've never looked under
the drool-stained mattress of nu-metal to find the really good
stuff underneath. I find this band's popularity sickening.

Most albums take some time to get in to. I've had CD's that I absolutely hated and then given some time, I fell in love with them. Chocolate Starfish, no matter how many times I listen to it, is one of the worst CD's I own. First off, I'm not just another "3 Dollar Bill Yall is the only good CD, Wes is the only good band member" type person who uses the word sell-out on any band that gets radio play. This is just simply a very thoughtless album. There are a few good tracks, the Mission Impossible Theme remake, 'Take a Look Around' and the Scott Weiland produced 'Hold On' (To which he adds vocals) but overall, the songs on here are very very poorly written, poorly sung, and poorly played. Even the songs that are supposed to be thoughtful (The One, It'll Be OK) come off as corny. And what is with the lyrics to Boiler? "No eating/no sleeping/It's all just more giving to you and I'm done." What? You're gonna starve yourself? OK. Pick up Limp Bizkit's first two albums and you won't be disappointed. Avoid this one.

I'm aware that the hard rock genre is balancing on a tight rope these days. People are more concerned with the image than they are with the sound. However, I can't understand how anyone could be interested in the whiny, non-musical voice of Fred Durst. When I first heard this guy I thought he was joking. The band may have a future if they kick him out and find someone with talent. To the current hard rock standards, the music is not that bad. It's weak, it's bad--but it's not that bad. Yet if they had any comprehension of the art, Fred Durst would have been gone long ago. You can't take Limp Bizkit seriously. Not worth one star.

Notice how those who gave this senseless drivel 5 stars usually can't spell or write grammatically correct sentences.

For the love of God any youngster who loves this trash...WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE. Is it just me or is this exactle what answers my question about the dumbening down of Americas youth. This band is nothing but pure garbage. When I borrowed this CD from a classmate about a year ago just after this album came I laughed at the stupidity of the content of what came out of my boombox. Hot Dog was so stupid I couldn't help but laugh at Fred Durst for making a complete and total fool out of himself. It's also funny how a band tries to put the F word into a song and yell it over 50 times in just under 4 minutes of endless noise. It's so sad that our culture is becoming low-life when worthless bands like them are shoving this garbage down the throat of America. There is nothing good to say about this really BAD CD. I have never heard such musical vomit in my life.

DO NOT call me some 50 year old bald man because I,m 19 years old and I am appalled at the fact that many 13-16 year olds paying more attention on how 'cool' they are by using obscenity than how smart they really are. Well what I can say is that music is really dead if this is what the future holds for our countrys music scene.

Buy Roland Orzabals Tomcats Screaming Ourside(One of the best pop albums I,ve heard in years), Bjorks Vespertine, or anything by Afro Celt Sound System. Bloody hell even Korn does better than this.

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.
