Significant Other - Limp Bizkit

'Significant Other' is the second studio album from Floridian Nu-Metallers Limp Bizkit and was released back in 1999. Containing hit singles such as 'Break Stuff', and 'Nookie', 'Significant Other' I feel is to date the best album in the Limp Bizkit back catalogue (although some will perhaps fairly argue that this is no great difficulty). The album is by no means perfect, however nonetheless is still one that I hold in extremely high regard having been one of the first albums I ever really heavily listened to. Whilst Limp Bizkit may not be the most intelligent of music makers, the thing I have always loved about them is their use of guitars in the music. For ...  Read the complete review

Few will dispute that Limp Bizkit are a bloody daft band, but they did actually have one album that found considerable critical acclaim, before their long and harsh fall following it. This is that album, their second, released after the mildly successful 3 Dollar Bill Y'all. They have recieved divisive criticism for melding the rock and rap genres, considering lead singer Fred Durst doesn't really seem to have too much of a rhythm for this sort of thing, has an irritatingly high pitched voice, and the lyrics themselves often aren't up to much cop. However, this is without a doubt the definitive Bizkit album. Nookie is one of the best tracks on the album - it ...  Read the complete review

I bought this album about a month after it came out in 1999 and professed its brilliance to everyone I knew; playing it at parties, putting it on in people's cars, and forcing my walkman onto the ears of anyone who came my way. But what was the reaction of my friends and aquaintances to these kind actions of mine? People dismissed them as a crap noisy band trying to rap. Two years later the world and his mum love Fred's boys and I am regarded as some trendy fad-follower by my mettaler contemporaries -just because they became popular. Then, just as quickly, the backlash started. By offering my opinion on this album ("at last" i hear ...  Read the complete review

If you've read my review on LB's "3 dollar bill, y'all$", you know that I love that cd beyond all words. Every track seemed flawless. I adore it with all my heart. I first found LB when they were unknown, and I loved the feeling of finding a GOOD unknown band. So, when Mtv finally picked up on them and pushed (and I mean PUSHED) their upcoming second album, "Significant Other", I really got excited. I actually got the cd a day before it was supposed to come out (be very nice to your local record store dude, and he shall doeth so unto thee). I got home, put it in the cd player, and reveled in the first few tracks...but then... ...  Read the complete review

An amazing 6 million copies of this C.D have been sold around the world. Limp Bizkit's second album was greeted with such hysteria that they have since been dubbed the biggest Rock band in the world. Chocolate Starfish and The Hot Dog Flavoured Water has since followed, but that just cemented the position that Significant Other gave them. After Limp's first album, entitled "3 Dollar Bill Yall", word was getting aroun that this band was good. They had a cult underground following, and their heavy style caught on with many muci insiders. But, when this was released, Fred Durst, the bands lead singer, decided that this album would not be quite so ...  Read the complete review
