Sep 1, 2011The album plays to the band's strengths, but there's simply nothing here as catchy as "My Way" or as infectiously fun as "Break Stuff."
-
Entertainment WeeklyAug 10, 2011Oft-delayed, petulant, and hook-devoid "comeback." [1 Jul 2011, p.74]
-
Jul 22, 2011Gold Cobra reminds us of how much fun a tight, no-holds-barred rap-metal record can be in the right hands.

Kerrang!Jul 12, 2011The overall impression is that the Bizkit remain as annoying, entertaining and incorrigibly obnoxious as they ever were. [25 Jun 2011, p.50]

Jul 6, 2011Let your guard down and jam some Bizkit.

Jul 5, 2011Sure, as sheer sound, it's executed well -- more assured, musical, and, well, professional than any of their other albums, their age lending them a dexterity absent in their hits -- but the deliberate retro-rage begs the question: who exactly is this music for?

Jun 28, 2011Time hasn't been kind to the once-popular amalgam of metal and hip-hop known as nĂ¼-metal, and it's been absolutely brutal to former scene king Limp Bizkit

Jun 28, 2011With the exception of the always inventive playing of guitarist Wes Borland, here Limp Bizkit sound like a band whose time has passed.

Jun 28, 2011Gold Cobra props itself up as the best thing we've seen from our most hated band since even 1997, and the two albums following that had enough singles to fill a greatest hits compilation one record ahead of schedule.
-
Jun 28, 2011It's difficult to believe Limp Bizkit could return after all this time somehow even more hateful than before.
-
Jun 28, 2011So is it any good? Does it matter? Limp Bizkit are bigger than ever before so getcha groove on, stop taking things seriously.
