Limp Bizkit: 10 Essential Tracks That Prove Their Genius
8. The One (2000) http://youtu.be/rpnyO0KyUWY The One is a classic Limp Bizkitesque sonic delicacy. Once again Durst here delivers with his trademark baritone in an anthem fuelled by pain and a rising tone between the words and instrumentals. The track is featured on Limp Bizkits Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000). The album was the 18th best-selling album of 2000 in the US and featured massive titles such as My Generation, Rolin and Take A Look Around, Boiler and My Way. (Which are all missing in our list as the aim was to bring the hidden gems and tracks that fuel moments instead of fully blasting the system). The One comes as a fuel and a healer, but also feeds the inquisitive minds and relieves pain through its depiction of human nature. The track seems to remind that life is truly unpredictable (unlike most people) and the only way to really know, is to try unfortunately? So ladies and gentlemen; please relax; kick back; and allow the waves to carry you there. (A taste for some Nu-metal seems to enhance the experience) Album: Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000) Click HERE to purchase this album on Amazon.
7. Re-arranged (1999)
http://youtu.be/oD5RzpwbrIc Re-arranged is a delicate piece of Nu-meta: a piece that could easily be the soul of Limp Bizkit: their musical identity and maybe even the source of their inspiration. If Sigmund Freud believed behaviour is understood by studying the clash of unconscious mental processes, then this track encompasses some sort of dark purity that not only embraces the id side of things, but also enlightens. Sometimes a guide to the right angle can enhance an experience, and here the whole sonic package is delivered with enough tone to completely take the listener to the plains of Dursts vision, which in all honesty, isnt too far from the world we live in, especially if some are among those who believe life and happiness should revolve around the individual rather than groups, for groups are but another bunch of individuals just as morally and biologically prone to miscalculation and error. Who to trust? The universality of the right answer looks likely to be individually questioned and defined. However, Significant Other (1999) remains a timeless masterpiece in Nu-metal; an album those with interest in the genre should listen over and over again. Maybe a quote from William Shakespeare as an end note:God hath given you one face, and you make yourselves another.Album: Significant Other (1999) Click HERE to purchase this album on Amazon.
