10 Best Metal Albums Of The 1990s - Ranked
9. Limp Bizkit – Significant Other
Significant Other, Limp Bizkit’s second studio release, is a perfect blend of metal and hip-hop, fusing the riff heavy guitar work of Wes Borland with DJ Lethal’s manic scratching, and topping it off with the alternating vocal style of Fred Durst.
Praised by critics for it’s aggressive nature and no-nonsense attitude, the album went on to top the Billboard 200 chart, becoming one of the most successful metal albums of all time in the process. It was helped in no small part by singles Nookie, N 2 Gether Now, and Break Stuff, which were some of the most popular of the era.
The record also featured guest performances by Method Man, Les Claypool, and Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis, who were all popular in their own right, giving fans of metal and hip-hop yet another reason to go out and buy a copy.
