Significant Other - Limp Bizkit
Rating: 3/10

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.
