   ...Is That Limp Bizkit's New Album is Just As Bad, If Not Worse, 

Than All the Other Ones.

Review by -ProDigY-

Track One - Propaganda:

Okay, Bugg, I've got to hand it to you on this one.  When I first turn this 

song on I was skeptical, but that didn't last long.  

My skepticism quickly turned to pure giddyness the instant the first guitar 

chimed in on this catchy tune.  

"What's this?" I asked myself, practically shaking in my chair out of sheer 

excitement, "Distorted power chords?!  An overproduced, yet still 

fashionably dirty sound?!  An almost insultingly simple rhyme scheme* 

enhanced with broken, meaningless lyrics?! - By God!  

We've got a hit, here!"

(*Which, I'll add, Durst still manages to screw up.)

The fact that Durst tries his hand at politics in this song should be 

enough to set off a red flag telling you, "DON'T BUY THIS ALBUM!".  I 

emphasise the "TRIES" portion of the previous sentence, by the way.  This 

is one of the few songs I've ever heard that means absolutely nothing - 

Even the worst pop songs have some emotion and meaning behind 

them...With this song, though, it's almost as though Durst turned on the 

news, wrote down some words he didn't understand, threw in some 

obscenities, and tried to build a song around it.

After about two minutes the song comes to an end as Freddy whines an 

out-of-tune, 

"Who is falling

and faded slowly

you don't know me

but I made you"

About 100,000,000 times over and over again.  If Durst's singing voice 

isn't enough to make your ears bleed, the fact that he repeats this same 

cliché, pretentious verse for twenty minutes will be.

This song gives the listener a pretty good idea of what's soon to follow.

Simply awful.

Track Two: The Truth

Wait, didn't I JUST hear this same song?  Oh wait, nevermind - it just 

sounds EXACTLY THE FREAKING SAME.

How can you listen to this song and not feel insulted?  It's like he's writing 

the worst music ever and not only is he getting away with it, but he 

expects us to feel for him .....!?  How does that work?

Five words: "salt in an open wound", my friend.

This song truely brings out the sheer horror that is Durst's songwriting.

Suffice it to say that Fred Durst has probably never heard of the words 

"Metaphore", "Symbol", or "Descriptive Language".

Track Three: The Priest

You know, I started writing a review for this song and stopped midway 

through when I came to a shocking realization.

This is the worst song I've ever heard in my life - And I've heard William 

Shatner's cover of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".

I could write a goddamn thesis on all the things that suck about this 

song.  It's almost impressive that Durst was able to write 

a song SO AWFUL.

Part Two will come later tonight when I regain the courage to listen to the 

second half of this truely horrendous album.
