Limp Bizkit's
sound is always in a developing state. With eerie, ghostlike
beginnings to heavy guitars, that's what their sound is; with
some turn tables thrown in too. I see a large difference and
similarity in comparing both their albums. This album seems to
have a bit more eerie melodies than their debut. The overall
hip-hoppish vibe of Significant Other replaces some of the
heavier guitars, but the "back-bone" basslines are
still there.
Fred's voice seems almost less throaty but that
could be a good thing. Limp Bizkit have always had a rap vibe to
them. It works for them and Fred is one of the few musicians that
can make the quick transition from rapping to screaming, and pull
it off. "Break Stuff" is a great example of Fred's
attitude and good choruses. The beginning vocals of "I'm Broke"
and "Nobody Like You" have the defining Limp Bizkit sound
with the melodic eerie vocals and background music. "Nobody
Like You" features the voices of Korn's Jonathan Davis and
Stone Temple Pilot's Scott Weiland.
Similar to this album you can see that
most of the songs are also about the band's success and how their
life changed due to that. ((As in "I'm Broke")). There
seems to be more little guitar riffs and background melodies than
heavy guitar chords; but all the guitar parts are good. Overall,
it's not a bad album. If you own their debut, you might be a
little disappointed in this one, but if you're a true enough fan,
you'll love it.
