    This CD is better than people think. Why, metacritic, did you take the crappier websites instead of the real websites. Then you'll get some real reviews.

    WTF? Why are so many people saying this cd sucks? This cd was great - look, music is meant to be different, thats what makes it so great, so why don't you stop complaining about it an listen to it for what it is.

    I think this album is hated mostly because of Wes Borland being departed in 2001. No, Mike Smith is not a bad guitarist at all - his technique and tone are really yummy, especially live onstage compared to Borland's tone onstage too.

    When the album came out fans didn't like that it didn't sound like "Nookie," just like they didn't like that every other single released from Significant Other and from Chocolate Starfish didn't sound like Nookie.

Going back and listening to this album in its entirety in 2017 I actually quite like it. It's good that it doesn't sound like Nookie. It shows a more mature band with more melodies, softer vocals instead of the harsh angry party screaming, and the songs altogether are easier to listen to; they aren't an assault to the ears. It's Limp Bizkit heading off in a new direction and experimenting as artists instead of staying stagnant. I'd be willing to bet that Aaron Lewis may have had an influence on this album's production.… Expand

    We came across this album by accident over the last few months. Contrary to all the bad publicity about this album, it is without doubt one of the most important albums since 1993. The production and ideas within this album are quite unique.The last albums to contain such artistry was Songs of Distant Earth by Mike Oldfield and Talk by Yes.

Its quite disgraceful on some of the voting, obviously from people who have no clue about music production. We have analysed some reviews by these individuals on other albums and its quite sad and obvious that these critics are like everything within the industry- to be aiding and abetting the demise of talent within the music industry. We suggest that those critics should become independent from the Record Companies. Its ok monopolizing CD Sales etc but to monopolise what talent is, is detrimental to the industry.… Expand

    It's not their best work. The only issues I have with it are Wes Borland not present and the fact that it was mostly ballad-heavy. Otherwise, it's really not a bad CD. I think the reason people shit all over it is because they hate Fred Durst. I like their first 2 CD's better. And I did like "Chocolate Starfish". But this CD does get better with each listen.

    Yes, this album is nothing compared to its predecessors, and no Wes Borland; still, it shows Limp expanding into new genres and trying something outside their rap metal sound. Worth a listen. 100%

    This album is very good. It contains two of their greatest songs, Behind Blue Eyes and Eat You Alive. The rest of the songs are good too. I'd recommend purchasing this album to any die-hard Limp Bizkit fan.

    This is Limp Bizkit's best album to date. Some say it's not, due to the lack of Wes Borland. If no one ever knew his name, no one would ever even mention it. You people can't tell whether or not Wes Borland is playing guitar. Someone said "Wes Borland isn't on this album, so it will suck!" The guitar on this album is great, no matter who played it.

    This cd is diffrent from their first one. It has more mellow tracks. Basically, whatever mood you are in, hard head bangin', rappish, slow, sad, and a beat mood this cd won't let you down.

It is a little monotonous, but whatever. And the fact they have short good music song sequences after songs, for people who hate the cd, don't even know these songs exists. It's like a treat for putting through the worst songs on the cd, coincidentally 'Behind Blue Eyes' and 'Red light green light'. But all in all, the cd is awesome.

    This is a solid album, I think the line in the song behind blue eyes perfectly describes what people think this album "nobody knows what its like to be the bad man" People are way too harsh on this album. Its definitely not an amazing album but it doesn't deserve such terrible reviews.

    Even though this album is still very solid and has some seriously catchy tracks, I would not show it to someone to give them an idea of what the band sounds like.
