Apr 24, 2023Classic Limp Bizkit. Wes Borland had some great riffs on this one. Chocolate starfish contains some of the best songs in their whole discography.

Aug 25, 2022Extremely underrated album. Takes influences from all sorts of genres and creates something completely unique and distinct. Also simply great riffs.

Feb 27, 2020I used to own this CD as a kid. When I was like 11-14 I loved Limp Bizkit. I still like some of the songs. "My Way" is my favourite. This album was like Eminem meets heavy metal/punk rock. Good music to listen to when you're pissed off.

Oct 4, 2018O álbum não é mau de todo. Infelizmente, o álbum acaba por perder a sua qualidade devido à voz irritante de Fred Durst em algumas das faixas e à falta de originalidade, e até de sentido, nas letras. Limp Bizkit fez algo decente aqui. Algumas músicas são definitivamente esquecÃveis, mas as outras valem a pena.

Nov 18, 2016I'm getting sick of Limp Bizkit performing live nothing but this album in the last decade. Still a solid album though. Everyone's still headbanging to My Way, My Generation and etc.
-
Apr 28, 2015If you bought the album for some poetic rhymes and well-crafted subtle music, of course you'll be disappointed. But if you bought it for Limp Bizkit's signature angry sound, a shi*load of fun and heavy metal guitar riffs, you'll be more than satisfied.

Jul 22, 2011The only good thing I can say about this is that it's a little better than Results May Very. So go claim your freakin' door prize, guys. You're still an utterly awful band.
-
Jul 10, 2011Amazing sound, limp bizkits best album. Why the critics dont like it is a total mystery. ive come to the conclusion they're either jealous or deaf.

Aug 18, 2010Limp Bizkit is better than ever!! All of their songs are catchy and awesome!! Anyone who thinks that this album sucks, they are mistaken! This is the best nu-metal album from Limp Bizkit. Yes Fred Durst can be a douche, but aside from his personality, this album is awesome
-
dales.Sep 19, 2009I think this is a great album. Mostly because it brings back good memories when it came out 9 years ago. Im surprised the album never got the good reviews it deserved. There are some great songs on here.

-
BernieGFeb 25, 2009Their best work! High points: My Generation, My Way, Full Nelson, Rollin'(Rock and Rap versions), The One, MI2 Theme, It'll Be OK, Hold On. Low points: "Hot Dog" because Fred Durst went overboard on the cursing. 3 minutes of Ben Stiller laughing at the end was annoying too.

JackPOct 4, 2008It's really sad that the reviews do not focus on the quality of the music, but other issues. Frankly this is one of the best if not the best nu metal album I have ever heard. It's hard to describe, but I think it's a very refreshing and dynamic record which does not lack innovation. Simply the best from Limp Bizkit.

MattMSep 6, 2008It's the heretic, because people judge it by two or three songs. It will only be wanted when it's gone.

AlvaroSApr 18, 2008Limp Bizkit is not just Fred Durst; on the whole, the album is quite average, but songs like "My Way", "The One", "It'll be ok" or "Boiler" just make it up for the rest of the album. It's just not fair to give it less than a 6...in my opinion. Oh, and the guitar is just GREAT.

SiJul 27, 2007Better than Significant Other. Now that nu-metal is no longer mainstream there seems to be a lot of Limp appearing out of the cracks. Shows how many people jumped on the 'I Hate Fred Durst' bandwagon rather than the music.
-
-
JamesJul 27, 2007I like how most of the people who review this album focus more on Fred Durst rather than the band. Shame really.

ChrisHJan 12, 2007I was actually wrote a music column at a paper when this record came out. I can't remember what I wrote then, but I'm sure it was something along the lines of "mindless" and "juvenile." I still have this album somehere; it may be the worst album I own.

C.R.Nov 12, 2006Holy fuck, this album sucks. To be honest, I only "like" (in the loosest possible sense) Limp Bizkit's first two albums. They're trashy, mindless fun. Their riffs are huge, and the lyrics are unintentionally hilarious. This is where they started sucking. Still, the "Boiler" video made me laugh.

mikesAug 2, 2005Complete garbage. If you listen to this cd you must have no sense of how music should be composed, the music and lyrics are cringe inducing. ugh!

MikeHJun 27, 2005It's bad enough to consider making a chocolate starfish right on the disc. But that would be utterly disgusting, so I prefer to let my dogs do it instead.

JakeHJan 30, 2005Dude i fucking love Limp bizkit. Ever snice i heard it at my friends house i thought it kickedass. What makes me mad is that everybody hates them and that they got booed off stage at the Chicago show. And what happened to them i want them to make a new cd. Soon i will have enough money to buy all of there cd,s. So peace out everbody tell me if u like this stuff!
-

JasperAug 13, 2004I think all of u suck. This is by far the best CD I've heard after LP's Hybrid Theory. It may not be the masterpiece u all want, but it definetevely it's a kickass CD.

timmyfApr 28, 2004this is an ok cd. but limp bizkit can get boring unless you see them live, cuz you cant feel the energy on the album. but it still gets you pumped.

BobAug 23, 2002The Bizkit rules, Fred rules, everyone knows it, no one wants to admit it. This is the best cd ever created, along with the band and Fred. This deserves a 10 from everyone. Everyone thinks Durst is a poser, but he rocks and no one gives him credit. GO AND BUY THIS AWESOME CD, EVEN IF YOU HATE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE THE KINGPINS OF ROCK

MichaelE.Aug 3, 2002You know, Fred Durst makes me want to get a sniper rifle and... Oh! That's illegal...

HandsomeB.WonderfulJul 31, 2002Just awful! Rip offs with big mouths
-
-
CharlesH.May 24, 2002Fred Durst layers his music with the same macho WASP misogyny and homophobia as Eminem. But unlike Eminem, he doesn't have the talent, wit, sincerity, self-deprecation or respect for his band to back it up.

Fred Durst may grab the headlines, but Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water really shows that all the power Limp Bizkit are known for comes from their bandmembers who, you know, actually play instruments. Durst's lyrics are wack when he raps and bad high school poetry when he sings.... Of course, there aren't many people looking for deep thoughts from Durst and Co. -- just lots of big, dumb, angry fun. And on that count, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water delivers.
-
SpinThe sound is now clearer than on either predecessor; the rapping likewise. And here come Jane's Addiction and the Smashing Pumpkins--this is a slicker, grander record than Significant Other. [Jan 2001, p.112]

The very concept of Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water might be brilliant if it was a work of absurdist art. But this album is just absurd.
