Unitron Limp Bizkit is one of those bands that everyone loves to hate, and it was real easy to hop on the bandwagon in my early days of browsing internet music sites before my love of music became what it is now. They went from one of the biggest metal bands of the late 90's/early 00's to one of the most hated, but along with the nu metal revival has come a slow but noticeable reversal of general opinion. I've since given them an actual chance without bias, and Significant Other is a great late 90's metal album.

It's a lot of fun and even funny sometimes, but it's metal, not classical music. It's not supposed to be pretentious or refined, at least not with my tastes. I just want well-written songs with great playing, hooks, and grooves, and Bizkit certainly delivers. Fred Durst's hilariously blunt lyrics just add to the whole badass party vibe of the whole thing. As much as I love lyrical poets like Neil Fallon, Spider One, and Karl Hyde, often a simple commanding performance can be just as good.

The two most memorable songs are definitely the classic singles Nookie and Break Stuff, and they weren't so popular for no reason. Nookie is a perfect combination of the funk metal and hip hop sides of nu metal, and Break Stuff is just a song that has to really be heard. Few songs get me as pumped, there's just so much charisma and personality in Durst's vocals and Wes Borland's riffs have such force. 9 Teen 90 Nine, the pure hip hop of N 2 Gether Now, and Trust? are a few more favorites.

Classic stuff, Jumpdafuckup and have some fun.
