Limp Bizkit "Significant Other" [1999]

With how many different groups these guys are the cut-rate version of, if there was something akin to a record store cut-out bin during Y2K, Limp Bizkit would have owned it. Rage Against the Machine without any conviction, the Beasties without any savvy, Eminem without any brains and the Red Hots without any hard-ons, Limp Bizkit was the perfect faceless, feckless group to yield huge rewards from the faceless, feckless music industry. In fact, Fred Durst was so in sync with what record execs wanted from their talent that he was eventually made Senior VP of A&R. It only takes a quick listen to recognize this guy is a corporate hack posing as an actual rocker. Honestly, the only thing to get in the way of Limp Bizkit taking over the world of major label rock in the early Aughts was 9-11, when Americans (and everyone else) realized we had plenty of things to actually be upset about and dedicated to -- leaving frickin' Durst's phony angst in the frickin' dust. Unless you'd care to hear how Motley Crue would sound posing as a hip-hop group, there is absolutely no reason to snack on Limp Bizkit.
