I'm not a fan of Fred Durst, infact I think that guy's a joke. However, I loved Limp Bizkit's album The Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000) . That album had some pretty good songs. Rollin, Hot Dog, My Generation, Livin it Up to name a few! And we all know Fred's not the brightest of songwriters, slipping in F words when he can't think of a word. But as far as I knew, overall Bizkit make some pretty good rapcore music! And I just listened to their latest album 'Gold Cobra'. What'd I think? I think they've changed - in a good way.
Introbra: Nice idea for an intro, lol. Gives you a pretty good idea about what most of the album is gonna sound like!
Bring it Back: I was pretty confused about this song.. The verse and the chorus don't connect very well. The chorus just comes in out of the blue. The nice hard guitar riffs save this track! Catchy chorus, and I bet you'll go 'Aaaw man' when the verse starts again.
Gold Cobra: The best track in the album! The song starts with some really cool guitar riffs, and you witness a whole different level of Fred's flow. Sure to pump up your adrenaline! Awesome guitar, good vocals.. Overall, brilliant track. Perfect when you're working out or running.
Shark Attack: The theme of this song is pretty much similar to Gold Cobra. Well, most of Limp Bizkit's songs are like .. 'Screw you, we're awesome!' My second favourite song in the album. Verry good hook! Must check.
Get a Life: A laid back, sarcastic song finally. Aaand you finally witness Fred's screaming skills. xD Good song!
Shoutgun: Feel good track. xD Everybody jumps from the sound of the shotgun, yeah in my neighbour everybody got one !
Douchebag: Meaningless track, lol. I love the chorus, haha! Fred's retarded writing skills kick in once again. I'm a fuck you up, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you up! Haha, you gotta love this bridge! LOVE THIS BRIDGE!
Walking Away: The song starts out beautifully .. A nice , soft track. A must actually, you miiight have gotten tired by the monotonous feel of the album so far. You have got to like this song.. Amazing song! Makes a lotta sense :) The ending is very captivating, haha.. Kinda reminds me of Bullet for my Valentine.. How he shifts from sooft vocals to that high screaming!
Loser: A song you must only listen to when you're high. Like, really high.
Autotunage: The riff in the beginning sounds exactly as the riff in the main track. As the name suggests, there's use of autotune here. First time I'm listening to metal, rap and autotune. Wow. Nice song, really nice song!
90.2.10: A song about banging ladies in a party, lol.
Why Try: At this point, I actually got kinda bored of the album. I half did, right before Walking Away. Nevertheless, decent song.
Killer In You: Another decent track. You know, those type of songs which are good but you won't bump it again.
Overall, it's a good album. I'd give it a 6.5 / 10.
Title track!
Enjoy.
That's it for now folks. Laters!
Taken a note of Loser. Sounds like a good brain washing track. :)
