10 Most Underrated Limp Bizkit Songs
10. Clunk
While not quite as famous as some of their late releases, debut LP 'Three Dollar Bill, Y'All' was a seminal moment in rap rock history. Inspired primarily by nu-metal provocateurs like Hed PE and Korn, Limp Bizkit looked to really punch their listeners in the face with an audacious, aggressive sound.
Needless to say, they succeeded admirably.
Look no further than Clunk, a ferocious four minute rage festival with one of the most headbanging breakdowns the group ever recorded. It's further set apart by the curious call to break it up with brief, pace-slowing intervals before dropping right back into the ear-wrecking noise. The constant chop and change of composition is inventive and suspenseful in a way the group's later, more commercially friendly work rarely is.
Lyrically, the song, while dripping with attitude, makes pretty much zero sense. Durst hyperactively harps on about everything from clowns and egotistical punks to distorted audio and potential hearing loss.
Musically, it's about as good a showcase for DJ Lethal's eccentric talents as one can find. The tableturning madness is further accentuated by Wes Borland's wild guitar work in a track that gives many of their nu metal contemporaries more than a run for their money on the heaviness front.
