Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

This album is an insult to nu-metal and I don’t like nu-metal in the slightest. Fred Durst might be the most insufferable frontman in recent memory and his lyrics are so awful that I would think the whole thing is a joke if not for the earnestness with which Durst delivers. The posturing, the comically flippant use of the word fuck, and just the overall douchey vibe make this a truly punishing experience. This world is a worse place for having Limp Bizkit in it.

Awful band. Stupid name. Awful music. Childish album title. Immature lyrics. A fanbase of 14 year-old boys who inexplicably continue to like this puerile, juvenile dross. Is there anything about this whining, faux-outrageous dross that is, er, worth a biscuit? I hate everything about nu-metal and Durst is one of the worst exponents. Ooh, Fred, you're so ironically threatening. Twat.

Awful

So bad, just so so bad.

Spending 75 minutes in an MRI machine would be better than giving one more minute to this molten dumpster fire of an album. No redeeming musical value AT ALL.

2/10. Maybe if I had lived through the nineties I would need to listen to angry music too. But I still think I could find something better than this dog shit. Rollin' was actually pretty good though, and it was thoughtful of them to put it on the album twice.

Just horrible all around. Album cover, title, lyrics, music, really the full package. If you enjoyed this album or had a hand in its making, I don't ever want to meet you. Glad this came pretty much full circle with Korn - it put some awful nu-metal bookends on this entire project for me. 1/10

I always avoided listening to Limp Bizkit, because Fred Durst was an annoying fuck, so now, after actually listening to this album, I feel justified in my previous choice. So self pitying it’s a shame really, because some of the hooks are not bad, but ultimately it was an exhausting album to listen to.

The world's oldest teenager sings sweary songs for drunken frat boys in cargo pants. A fucking abysmal album.

Bailed less than a minute in. Appalling.

Just can’t listen to this ear torture.

I did have this album when I was 15. I did go back in time listening to this album 23 years later and I remember which songs I liked the best: My Way, The One, Take A Look Around. This album satisfied the angst when I was a teenager and now it does nothing for me now.

I do like the cover though

It's really annoying that this was the popular mainstream music of my later teenage years. I really feel like I was robbed of being able to be enjoy a musical movement with my peers. For that reason I hated this then and I despise it now. Regardless of that personal context this is an objectively awful album. The band name, album title and artwork about sum up the unfunny, thick, juvenile nature of the music. Add Fred Durst's weird squeaky vocals and you quite possibly have the worst all-round album package released in my lifetime. Rating: 1/5 Playlist track: My Way Date listened: 30/10/23

I hate this album

Just gross. Granted, I don't care much for this style of music, but even still, there is nothing remotely good or interesting about this album. This does not belong on this list

I'm sorry, I couldn't finish this one

Man, why is this here? Like, I get this is an important part of nu-metal or whatever, but isn't that why Kid Rock is here? Or Korn? Like, I see no reason this is here if not for the author trolling everyone. The instruments suck, the lyrics are AWFUL, and the same song is on here twice, just to really say "fuck you" to your audience. Is that the point? Why would you want to listen to this if the artist hates you as the listener actively on the album? Jesus, just terrible.

Can honestly say not a fan. Best track was intro, thought "Ooh, perhaps they are not what I expected " Yes they were. Not for me.

lol wtf even is this. what an actual drag of an album. i never even understood why rolling was so popular. the album would have gotten a 2 if it was just rolling alone tbh

Floored by the blatantly immature and ridiculous album title and cover artwork. Seriously, this is such a pathetically bad attempt at some kind of innuendo. I can’t believe actual music business professionals shipped this. And honestly, you’re gunna tell me the Limp Bizkit album that doesn’t have Nookie or Break Stuff on it is the one worth a damn? Fuck off.

Atrocious album.

This album sucks lol

Uhhh yea? Limp Bizkit is on this list but it's not even "Significant Other"? Not the album with "Nookie" or "Break Stuff"? I guess that means we're going to get 2 albums by them on this list which leaves me perplexed. I can appreciate what they did for metal, as the rap metal / nu metal contrast to TRL's omnipresent pop showings in the late 90s/early 2000s was a cool and fun battle for music fans of wildly different genres. It was enjoyable to see if a metal band would be the number 1 on TRL and have this feeling of winning something... until the next time TRL was on. It was fun to see them and Korn doing their thing and getting a fair amount of play on the radio to the pop music of the time but man... they just kind of suck. Fred Durst has one of the most annoying "singing" voices of all time. It's like a mix of the quintessential bully voice, a whiney kid, and a comedian trying to make music by masking his voice and having it be passable to some extent. It's just weird. At the same time I don't really appreciate what they did for metal too much. Korn was the band next to them doing it and Korn was a really good band. They had good musicianship, good songwriting, lyrics, themes, and in general a lot that LB didn't have. Now that I think of it, it feels stupid that LB is even on this list if it's not for the album with "nookie" and "break stuff" on it. For my personal starting point on this list, to have Korn not come up already feels dumb and it feels dumb that LB's second-best album from this era is on this list before any Korn record. I know that you can start this project at any point and it will revolve day after day so this might not be everyone's experience, but this is mine (ours) and that's just bleh. It's a 1/5. I don't like the music. It doesn't need to be heard before you die.

C'est très laid

I really hope this doesn't appear on my Spotify wrapped for 2023. 'The most embarrassing album you listened to was...' the best bits of this are all samples, and the whole thing is so utterly cringeworthy: from the band name, to the album name to the artwork to the utterly unimaginative swearing.

And I thought it couldn't get any worse than Kid Rock. Turns out I was deeply mistaken. I can now barely hold down my job as I have become significantly dumber after listening to this. Limp Bizkit. Not even once.

Fuck off with this title omg. It could be a 2 because it’s competent at what it is trying to do… but I certainly don’t wanna hear it. Apparently this album was removed from later 1001 albums as well. I wouldn't have missed it.

Horrible

This was the worst album I have ever heard. Sounded like a whiny 13 year old wrote the lyrics and a screechy 45 year old sang them. The music is generic and the only good parts were from the guest musicians. Totally sucks!

M.A Nummisen Tallinnan ja Tukholman laulu kertoo kaiken meitä ympäröivistä naapurivaltioista, jota on olennaista tietää. Parasta tässä albumissa on se, että nämä henkilöt ovat hyvin suosittuja ja sinun pitäisi tietää heidät. He ovat Ruotsin ja Viron tavoin olennaissia entiteettejä tässä maailmassa. Outro

I didn't make it all of the way through the album because it's noted that this album was removed from the project at a later release. This should've stayed and Fetch the Bolt Cutters should never have made it. This isn't good, but its' cultural relevance may make this album worthy of a listen. I could totally mosh if drunk enough. This created a whole subsection of people who wore Neon too big gym shorts with TAPOUT Shirts. Ahhhh youth. I see what they were going for with the Rap/Rock and how hype they were on themselves given the time, but I can't stand it.

I tried. I listened to a few songs, but it’s so bad I can’t stand it.

Excuse me, I seem to have ended up on the list of "Albums that no one should have to hear before they die" somehow. This is shit. Its just bad. Lyrics, music, themes, its all shit. 1/5

This album is awful, even for me, enjoying a significant part of the nu-metal movement and its bands. It's entirely inutile for 2023.

Got maybe 3 songs in. Couldn’t get into it

This made me re-evaluate other albums I thought were 1 star.

It like someone singing through their chocolate starfish.

hate this shit

Oh god... this album is just what I hate about music. Nu metal and rap metal from the 2000s... ugh. just awful. I hated this music at the time and I still hate it now. This is just such trash. I wanted to give it more but god no. It's just garbage. The album cover just adds to the insult. Fuck this trash.

Keskivaiheilla oli joku hitti, jossa oli joku onnistunut elementti, mutta ihan jäätävää kuraa muuten.

tuskallista. ja 10 min outro vielä. 1/5

2,5 nummer geprobeerd en toen had ik meer zin om m'n teennagels met een tangetje eruit te trekken. Wat een enorm gedateerde zielige over de top nep-stoere bagger is dit toch!

Je me suis déjà exprimé sur le sujet.

babe wake up un nouvel album de nu metal just dropped 🥰

1.5 stars, because "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" is nostalgic and not as obnoxious as the rest. Try hard angsty lyrics that overpower any semblance of musical acumen that might have showed up in the second half of the record. So many albums run only 30-40 min and thanks to a nearly 10 min pointless outro this album is 75 min of something only a 'rebellious' young teen could put themselves through.

Naw, screw that. A 3-star album on release, and later taken off the 1001 list?!? Not even gonna dignify that with a listen - give me something else from The Fall, it might surprise me. I got enough of Fred Durst's bulllshit in the 90's.

Boring guys singing clichee songs, singing as much FUCK etcetera as possible or trying to be tough without any meaning. Don't mind any FUCK the Police if you have something to say. Which they don't seem to have. Worthy only to polish Trent Reznor's shoes.

Top bobble

Not for me

Æji

The riffs are good and the guitarist is putting in WORK but the rapping is god awful. If there were any other vocals it would be a lot better but i guess it defined an era. One star for rolling tho KEEP ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN

I remember this differently. I shamefully admit that I thought some of these songs were bangers back then. Boy was I wrong. This was terrible. His voice is almost unlistenable.

Embarrassing. Did they think they were cool for sampling the Eagles?

I didn’t save any songs, this is the kinda album you listen to once per lifetime.

I should have known this was garbage before wasting my time verifying every song is unlistenable. I’m so thankful this genre of music was brief.

God they’re annoying

chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water

Ovaj album je toliko jebeno loš da je to nevjerojatno. Razina lijenosti songwrittinga i čista nepatvorena glupost tekstova je baš fascinantna. Ovaj album je u trenutku izlaska bio najprodavaniji rock album u prvom tjednu u sadu s čak 1.1 milijuna primjeraka. Nije ni čudno što je cd era ubrzo došla kraju😄
