6. Walking Away (2011)
http://youtu.be/p5N4LlgM0o8 Walking Away stays true to the essence of Limp Bizkits mellow ballads known for its introspective nature, melodic and at times abrasive tone. Unlike most of LBs albums, Wes Borlands guitar work is accentuated, showcasing his incredible synchronisation with the strings. Surprisingly,
Gold Cobra (2011) is also the bands first album with the original line-up.Borlands return brought some much needed energy and flair to Limp Bizkits work since
Results May Vary (2003). Walking Away features an eclectically edgy solo by the prolific guitarist who only seems to be getting artistically sharper over time (like most of the masters of the field on this matter). Limp Bizkit delivers a timeless piece with honest and raw insights on mental freedom and insecurities; their entrapping power on most; the invisible barriers that hold us back. The piece leaves an after taste of interesting questions. To hold on or just let go? Of who? Of What? Painful as it seems, is it worth the sacrifice? It might be fair to conclude that the decision itself isnt hard, but the consequences can be, especially if the full extent of the effects hasnt been spiritually accepted. In other words, if one isnt ready to deal with the weight (and re-conditions ones tastes and perception of happiness), then it might have a devastating effect.

5. Build A Bridge (2003)
http://youtu.be/jppqa77Tjzg While it might be surprising that a second track from
Result May Vary (2003) is being selected (from what critics called the worst album of the band), Build a bridge is a mellow musical piece touching the themes of hope and belief. Wes Borland had left when the album was recorded. Mike Smith slotted in for the departed guitarist but failed to recapture the spiritual presence of the enigmatic Borland. By 2003, Limp Bizkit had built a reputation for themselves as masters of mayhem due to the provocative nature of their lyrics and the irrational behaviour of some of their younger fans. Many critics had even failed to press pause and rethink of the music as a product with an age rating; failing to instead question the role of parents in regulating exposure to mature entertainment adults who sometimes fail to recapture their own imperfect youth. Build a bridge is a track beginning with a melodious riff that gradually escalates to a coarse punch line Durst-style. Its mellow but keeps a melancholic undertone of the classically sombre world of Limp Bizkit. The track could probably be that piece of wonder that makes
Result May Vary (2003) worth picking up.
