And, lest you forget, they're also held back by Durst, still the most singularly unpleasant, absurd frontman in rock. It's kind of like a stab at neo-prog alt-metal, only not nearly as bizarre and interesting as that would suggest, because this is, after all, Limp Bizkit, who are hidebound by their awkward, sluggish, thuggish attack. Similarly, the music is a step in the right direction - it's more ambitious, dramatic, and aggressive, built on pummeling verses and stop-start choruses. Some might say that there are bigger problems in 2005 than the tyranny of E!, but it's a start. Instead, he's writing about corruption in the church (nice timing, considering this was released just a couple weeks after the election of Pope Benedict XVI), the quest for truth, and the evils of mass media, particularly E! True Hollywood Story. He's now 34 and a new father and he's finally discovered the outside world, keeping the "you did this to me" rants and "what a bitch fame is" laments to a minimum. That was a long time ago, though, and those 20-year-old kids are in their mid-twenties, not quite ready to revisit the adolescent angst that fueled the first two Bizkit albums. Not that Limp Bizkit have ever been all that fun to listen to in the first place there's something about their plodding, jerky rhythms, hook-deficient riffs, and Fred Durst's rage-addled, chipmunk squeak that seems contemptuous of the very notion of a good time, even if Significant Other provided the soundtrack to many frat keggers at the turn of the century. But this isn't quite the party-hearty violence of Significant Other, either: this is a deadly somber, bitter, angry record, one that intentionally shuns fun. Surely, the return of prodigal guitarist Wes Borland to the fold has something to do with it, since this isn't just harder and heavier than Results May Vary, it has actual riffs, which were in short supply on that 2003 debacle. 1 - whose title threatens a sequel and suggests a concept album - is certainly a comeback of sorts for Limp Bizkit. How could it not be? But let's not get ahead of ourselves - Charmbracelet is better than Glitter, Generation Swine is better than that pseudo-industrial Mötley Crüe album without Vince Neil, but that doesn't mean you'd want to listen to any of them. So I have no doubt that he’s gonna come and bring it and it’s gonna be a great record.First things first: of course it's better than Results May Vary. And I’ve heard a bunch of his, sort of, demoed vocals over the stuff, and they’re great. I’m so pleased with the direction the music went, and I love what we did as a band. I will definitely say that the riffs and the music, it’s the best stuff I’ve ever done as a musician, I think. I doubt it’ll be called ‘Stampede Of The Disco Elephants’ at that point. “But he’s a perfectionist, so we’ll see when he’s ready to do it. “But I just like to put stuff out,” Borland added.
He’s so talented, and I love him so much as a brother, but if he’s not ready to do it, he’s not ready to do it… My whole thing is I force things, but I’m happy to make mistakes and get embarrassed and go, ‘Oh, I shouldn’t have done that.’ He’s tried to find his footing, I think, on a bunch of these songs. He went from being a darling to everybody’s most hated person in the world. I’m sure I’ll go back in and play a little bit more after. When asked about a possible timeline for the completion of the new LIMP BIZKIT album, he responded: “I’m not in charge of Fred‘s vocals… I’m way done with my parts on the record. So I think he’s finally at the point now where he’s gonna pick a set of these songs that he’s finally cool with and finish ’em and we’re gonna finish the record. “So we’ve released singles - like we did ‘Ready To Go’, and we did another single called ‘Endless Slaughter’ that we put out… We probably have 35 songs recorded instrumentally, and he’s done vocals on them and then thrown the vocals away - done vocals and then, ‘F*ck this,’ thrown it away. And Fred has been consistently kind of unsatisfied with where vision is, I guess. “And we’ve been working on stuff, working on stuff, working on stuff. “We’ve probably, in the last 10 years, been in the studio to try and complete the record, I wanna say, seven times, to different studios,” Borland revealed. Guitarist Wes Borland recently said that band “probably have 35 songs recorded instrumentally.” In a video shared earlier today via his Instagram Story, Durst said: “Should I drop a new song? Maybe ‘ Turn It Up B*tch‘ or ‘ Goodbye‘? Hmm, or should I just drop the whole new album, all 12 songs. LIMP BIZKIT frontman Fred Durst has shared some details about band’s long-awaited new album.
