10 Most Underrated Limp Bizkit Songs
8. The One
Given he once roared about cookies going up people's behinds, listening to a sensitive, introspective Fred Durst was a major surprise here. Despite 'The Chocolate Starfish and The Hotdog-Flavoured Water' being a rock solid candidate for 'Worst Album Title of All Time', the LP finds the crew at their artistic best.
'The One' features Durst at his most sympathetic, highlighting themes of loneliness and dysfunctional romance. The track is greatly bolstered by Sam Rivers and Wes Borland, whose bass and lead guitar work respectively blend together seamlessly for a relaxed, well-paced arrangement.
Had this track been featured on a lesser album, it likely would be well-regarded as a classic from the nu-metal titans. As it stands, it's a near perfect gem on the biggest album the crew ever produced. Buried under the wild popularity of singles such as 'Take A Look Around' and 'Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)', 'The One' comes as a welcome palette cleanser.
This track would likely be a lot higher on this list if it wasn't for its less than stellar outro. Starting at 3:41, the song sadly stumbles into awkward territory, with Durst's lyrics fast-becoming nonsensical and the composition going off-kilter also. Regardless, the track's a nice bit of experimental work from the polarising rock icons.
