Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

fuck off.

I listened to most of it. Still dont like it. Wes can play guitar though.

Ugh. Why is this bullshit on this list? It's way too long, incredibly derivative, uninteresting, childish, simplistic. 1/5

Nothing redeeming.

no

Crap when it was new. It has aged like milk.

This album would be okay if all lyrics were taken out. What a dogshit name and album cover. Have never liked how the vocalist sings. This whole album was unpleasant to listen to and needlessly crass and angry. I will admit that there are glimpses of things I like about it, namely some of the instrumentals, but there is not much I did like. There are no standouts.

It's not unlistenable and I might have awarded two stars if the album had been restricted to 40 minutes and the horrible outro had been skipped.

Loud screaming and banging… equals loss of vocal cords eventually and nails in the chalk board, no thanks…

Fred Durst wants you to know he’s angry, misunderstood, horny, and kinda famous now, bro. And if you’re a 14-year-old boy with a locker full of Mountain Dew, Monster logos, and vague resentment toward gym class, maybe that’s enough. But for the rest of us, enduring his off-key crooning, sub-par rhymes, and endless stream of adolescent vulgarity feels more like detention than catharsis. Wes Borland, the band’s masked MVP, occasionally colors outside the nu-metal lines with eerie guitar textures and oddball tunings, and the rhythm section’s not asleep either. But Durst’s juvenile worldview and cringe-worthy lyrics reduce even the better tracks to guilty pleasures—"My Way" has some interesting sonic moves, and "Hold On" gestures at emotional growth but gets lost in the fog of the album’s own overblown bravado. Could this be satire? Brilliant performance art? That’d be giving it way too much credit.

God saw that I was thankful that I had gotten listening to The Doors albums out of the way and said “hold my beer.”

Wow, is this the best we had back then? No wonder I was so fucking miserable!

NO!

I like bizkit, their early work is so good, but this is not a good album

This album mostly sucks other than the Rollin’ songs - which it’s hilarious to have 2 different versions of the same song on one album. Those songs kind of suck too, but can be partially enjoyed. It’s overly long for how similar the songs are - maybe this would be tolerable at half the length. I don’t vibe with Durst’s tough guy schtick, and his melodic range is severely limited…but not like his rhythm or lyrics are more impressive. He’s the worst aspect of this band, as some of the music is decent and Wes Borland’s guitar parts are occasionally interesting. There’s much better nu-metal out there.

No

No

fuck this band

ok this is it, this is the album that officially ends any pretense that this list contains albums you "must" listen to. it's so, so bad and not in any sort of entertaining way.

God, this was a rough listen. The spewings of an angry edgelord who thinks being shitty is cool. But what they produced is juvenile, annoying, talentless, inane drivel. "My Way" is borderline catchy at times, which had me almost considering a second star, but no. As the album continued, my dislike for Durst only grew. Some of the riffs here are ok, but the lyrics completely destroy any goodwill they'd generated. And how is this 75 minutes long?! The outro was the best part, because it clowned on the band (and clowns they are) and the idea that anyone could genuinely enjoy this music. I don't get it either.

Todo el disco, desde el título, la portada y la temática del álbum parte de algo así como un chiste de "culo y polla". Unido a su sonido, se podría afirmar que se trata de un disco de rabia juvenil generacional. La música suena monónotona, casi rutinaria, así como el permanente recurso a la palabrota (En "Hot Dog" se oye más de 50 veces "f*cking up"). Eso sí, para mojigatos se publicó una versión sin blasfemias y palabras malsonantes, pero eso ya es otro disco.

is it possible for a band to actually parody the genre that they're in simply by making an album full of horribly written songs and repetitive music? The answer is yes. This was horrible. Cannot emphasize how horrible the songwriting is. feels like this whole album was a double dare by someone to Fred durst as in. "I bet you can't put the word f*** in a song so many times it becomes ridiculous." or " I bet you can't write songs that are quite literally about nothing." Apparently Fred Durst said "Challenge accepted!"

Koprolalie zu Lärm

Boring and childish, just like some teems have learnt how to swear.

Never again...

TERRIBLE

Yeah, this is really bad. Why did I have to listen to this anyway? Why is it on this list? To show how bad some content (not music, but wastrel angst and bravado misplaced) 1 star is a bit too good for this garbage.

To borrow from another review on here: “Crap, juvenile lyrics, crap vocals, crap guitar, crap album title and art.” The fact that the home page for this album starts out by stating this album was taken off of subsequent printings of the “1001 Abums…” book speaks volumes. I listen to some pretty questionable punk/post-punk/goth stuff, but this album is just bad. There’s nothing about it I can even begin to like. 0 stars.

This was shitty when it came out, and it's still shitty now. Why do you have to put the shame of my generation on display like this?

It makes me so angry that countless fantastic albums aren't on this list but a truly awful, horrible album like this is on it. So shameful. It is musically worthless, and just bad, and what makes it even worse is the constant swearing which makes this album insufferable (perhaps Hold On is the only song that stands out in that regard). And on top of that it is 75 minutes long, aaaand it also has one of the worst album covers on this list so far. It deserves nothing but a 1.

I started off by giving this the benefit of the doubt, but the sheer awfulness of this just overwhelmed me. What were they thinking ?

I remember back in 2000, Limp Bizkit was only enjoyed by morons. I see some things never change. Absolute trash.

This was just trash, this needs to keep rolling rolling rolling out to the curb. 0/5

This was rough at times. I remember liking some of these songs when I was kid, but this has not aged well. Was really surprised that this was even on this list. 1.5/5

Disgust trigger 2 Trying to be 7 inch nails But is actual shit 1

This album was about as bad as I remember it being. I remember liking Three Dollar Bill when it came out, but everything after that has done nothing to keep my attention.

Why? F

I don't know why this is on the list. Like a kid who discovered his first swear word. I recognized Rollin' from radio play at the time, it's just as terrible now as it was then. My generation, what a terrible ripoff of the Who. The whole thing was bad

When describing the emotion for the devotion it took to get through the album, I searched “screaming frustration” gif

Why? Just why?

Definitely not my thing.

I rated this 1, spelled o-n-e,but pronounced zero.....a total waste of vinyl

Um, no thanks.

This is horrendous. The intro has to be one of the worst things ever laid to tape. The isolated Fred Durst vocal at the start of the second track is equally awful. My Generation is at least just a boring song. This is by far the stupidest music I’ve ever heard. Its seriously so dumb. The lyrics are appalling. The singles (My Way, Rollin) are the highlights so far, if you can call them that. The Mission Impossible song is the only actually listenable song actually. 0.4/5

In the bib. 0 stars.

This album was so bad, I made sure to listen to it through New Pipe on my phone so not to get it into my Youtube algorithm.

I mean Rollin was a cool theme for the undertaker

The Horror! The Horror!

Pay me and I’ll listen. Otherwise, fuck off.

I listened to this a couple months ago because my partner got it on the generator, and I did not like it. It's not the absolute worst thing I've listened to, but it got on my nerves and the length made it even worse. That last song with the three minutes of laughing was annoying. And did it really need two versions of Rollin'? My favourite song was maybe Hot Dog or My Generation? I didn't relisten to it, so I can't remember.

Unlistenably bad. Couldn't bear to hear more than a small portion of each song

Not putting myself through that. I refuse.

noooooo

I'm having trouble processing my first impressions. This is so awful and weirdly so. Hot Dog is squarely a dis track against NIN which is charming in concept despite the actual music and lyrics being completely stupid. There is very little here that appeals to me. Limp Bizkit exist as the exception to the rule I often cite for myself: "If it's fast, loud and heavy then chances are good I'm going to like it." pee-YOO...Don't go near the Chocolate Starfish...This record is a stinker.

I'm not sure I've ever hated something so much in my life. How did anyone think this had any business being an hour and a quarter long? War crime.

The instrumentation brings this up from a 0, but I do think these are the worst songs I've ever heard. 3rd grader lyrics 1.5 star

Didn't like limp bizkit back then still don't like them now. Obviously were socially important part of youth culture for Americans but wouldn't say they aged very well

A fucking monstrosity of zero musicality and 100% gimmick. Couldn't make it past a few corny intros.

These guys are hilarious. People used to think like this.

1.5 Fred Durst’s lyrics are the very definition of fragile masculinity. This band is the most juvenile band I’ve ever come across. They’re a joke. It’s a shame too because musically they aren’t horrible. But once you add the “you were mean to me so I’m going to get violent” lyrics it just turns to dog shit. I give this 1,5 instead of 1 because my wife will put on a few tracks while we work out. The rage which I feel towards this band makes me work out more intensely. That’s its only redeeming value.

Can we have 3 five-stars in a row? (Checks to see Limp Bizkit is next) fuck I’m serious, if this is on the list because it’s important to early 2000s rock and sold a bajillion copies, then Nickelback’s Silver Side Up has the same right to be here Not totally unredeemable, but the best tracks were the ones that made me forget I was listening to a Limp Bizkit record HL: “My Way”, “Hold On”, “Rollin’ (Urban Assault Vehicle)” December 5, 2023

This album is an insult to nu-metal and I don’t like nu-metal in the slightest. Fred Durst might be the most insufferable frontman in recent memory and his lyrics are so awful that I would think the whole thing is a joke if not for the earnestness with which Durst delivers. The posturing, the comically flippant use of the word fuck, and just the overall douchey vibe make this a truly punishing experience. This world is a worse place for having Limp Bizkit in it.

Awful band. Stupid name. Awful music. Childish album title. Immature lyrics. A fanbase of 14 year-old boys who inexplicably continue to like this puerile, juvenile dross. Is there anything about this whining, faux-outrageous dross that is, er, worth a biscuit? I hate everything about nu-metal and Durst is one of the worst exponents. Ooh, Fred, you're so ironically threatening. Twat.

Awful

So bad, just so so bad.

Spending 75 minutes in an MRI machine would be better than giving one more minute to this molten dumpster fire of an album. No redeeming musical value AT ALL.

2/10. Maybe if I had lived through the nineties I would need to listen to angry music too. But I still think I could find something better than this dog shit. Rollin' was actually pretty good though, and it was thoughtful of them to put it on the album twice.

Just horrible all around. Album cover, title, lyrics, music, really the full package. If you enjoyed this album or had a hand in its making, I don't ever want to meet you. Glad this came pretty much full circle with Korn - it put some awful nu-metal bookends on this entire project for me. 1/10

I always avoided listening to Limp Bizkit, because Fred Durst was an annoying fuck, so now, after actually listening to this album, I feel justified in my previous choice. So self pitying it’s a shame really, because some of the hooks are not bad, but ultimately it was an exhausting album to listen to.

The world's oldest teenager sings sweary songs for drunken frat boys in cargo pants. A fucking abysmal album.

Bailed less than a minute in. Appalling.

Just can’t listen to this ear torture.

I did have this album when I was 15. I did go back in time listening to this album 23 years later and I remember which songs I liked the best: My Way, The One, Take A Look Around. This album satisfied the angst when I was a teenager and now it does nothing for me now.

I do like the cover though

It's really annoying that this was the popular mainstream music of my later teenage years. I really feel like I was robbed of being able to be enjoy a musical movement with my peers. For that reason I hated this then and I despise it now. Regardless of that personal context this is an objectively awful album. The band name, album title and artwork about sum up the unfunny, thick, juvenile nature of the music. Add Fred Durst's weird squeaky vocals and you quite possibly have the worst all-round album package released in my lifetime. Rating: 1/5 Playlist track: My Way Date listened: 30/10/23

I hate this album

Just gross. Granted, I don't care much for this style of music, but even still, there is nothing remotely good or interesting about this album. This does not belong on this list

I'm sorry, I couldn't finish this one

Man, why is this here? Like, I get this is an important part of nu-metal or whatever, but isn't that why Kid Rock is here? Or Korn? Like, I see no reason this is here if not for the author trolling everyone. The instruments suck, the lyrics are AWFUL, and the same song is on here twice, just to really say "fuck you" to your audience. Is that the point? Why would you want to listen to this if the artist hates you as the listener actively on the album? Jesus, just terrible.

Can honestly say not a fan. Best track was intro, thought "Ooh, perhaps they are not what I expected " Yes they were. Not for me.

lol wtf even is this. what an actual drag of an album. i never even understood why rolling was so popular. the album would have gotten a 2 if it was just rolling alone tbh

Floored by the blatantly immature and ridiculous album title and cover artwork. Seriously, this is such a pathetically bad attempt at some kind of innuendo. I can’t believe actual music business professionals shipped this. And honestly, you’re gunna tell me the Limp Bizkit album that doesn’t have Nookie or Break Stuff on it is the one worth a damn? Fuck off.

Atrocious album.

This album sucks lol

Uhhh yea? Limp Bizkit is on this list but it's not even "Significant Other"? Not the album with "Nookie" or "Break Stuff"? I guess that means we're going to get 2 albums by them on this list which leaves me perplexed. I can appreciate what they did for metal, as the rap metal / nu metal contrast to TRL's omnipresent pop showings in the late 90s/early 2000s was a cool and fun battle for music fans of wildly different genres. It was enjoyable to see if a metal band would be the number 1 on TRL and have this feeling of winning something... until the next time TRL was on. It was fun to see them and Korn doing their thing and getting a fair amount of play on the radio to the pop music of the time but man... they just kind of suck. Fred Durst has one of the most annoying "singing" voices of all time. It's like a mix of the quintessential bully voice, a whiney kid, and a comedian trying to make music by masking his voice and having it be passable to some extent. It's just weird. At the same time I don't really appreciate what they did for metal too much. Korn was the band next to them doing it and Korn was a really good band. They had good musicianship, good songwriting, lyrics, themes, and in general a lot that LB didn't have. Now that I think of it, it feels stupid that LB is even on this list if it's not for the album with "nookie" and "break stuff" on it. For my personal starting point on this list, to have Korn not come up already feels dumb and it feels dumb that LB's second-best album from this era is on this list before any Korn record. I know that you can start this project at any point and it will revolve day after day so this might not be everyone's experience, but this is mine (ours) and that's just bleh. It's a 1/5. I don't like the music. It doesn't need to be heard before you die.

C'est très laid

I really hope this doesn't appear on my Spotify wrapped for 2023. 'The most embarrassing album you listened to was...' the best bits of this are all samples, and the whole thing is so utterly cringeworthy: from the band name, to the album name to the artwork to the utterly unimaginative swearing.

And I thought it couldn't get any worse than Kid Rock. Turns out I was deeply mistaken. I can now barely hold down my job as I have become significantly dumber after listening to this. Limp Bizkit. Not even once.

Fuck off with this title omg. It could be a 2 because it’s competent at what it is trying to do… but I certainly don’t wanna hear it. Apparently this album was removed from later 1001 albums as well. I wouldn't have missed it.

Horrible

This was the worst album I have ever heard. Sounded like a whiny 13 year old wrote the lyrics and a screechy 45 year old sang them. The music is generic and the only good parts were from the guest musicians. Totally sucks!

M.A Nummisen Tallinnan ja Tukholman laulu kertoo kaiken meitä ympäröivistä naapurivaltioista, jota on olennaista tietää. Parasta tässä albumissa on se, että nämä henkilöt ovat hyvin suosittuja ja sinun pitäisi tietää heidät. He ovat Ruotsin ja Viron tavoin olennaissia entiteettejä tässä maailmassa. Outro

I didn't make it all of the way through the album because it's noted that this album was removed from the project at a later release. This should've stayed and Fetch the Bolt Cutters should never have made it. This isn't good, but its' cultural relevance may make this album worthy of a listen. I could totally mosh if drunk enough. This created a whole subsection of people who wore Neon too big gym shorts with TAPOUT Shirts. Ahhhh youth. I see what they were going for with the Rap/Rock and how hype they were on themselves given the time, but I can't stand it.

I tried. I listened to a few songs, but it’s so bad I can’t stand it.

Excuse me, I seem to have ended up on the list of "Albums that no one should have to hear before they die" somehow. This is shit. Its just bad. Lyrics, music, themes, its all shit. 1/5

This album is awful, even for me, enjoying a significant part of the nu-metal movement and its bands. It's entirely inutile for 2023.

Got maybe 3 songs in. Couldn’t get into it

This made me re-evaluate other albums I thought were 1 star.

It like someone singing through their chocolate starfish.

hate this shit

Oh god... this album is just what I hate about music. Nu metal and rap metal from the 2000s... ugh. just awful. I hated this music at the time and I still hate it now. This is just such trash. I wanted to give it more but god no. It's just garbage. The album cover just adds to the insult. Fuck this trash.

Keskivaiheilla oli joku hitti, jossa oli joku onnistunut elementti, mutta ihan jäätävää kuraa muuten.

tuskallista. ja 10 min outro vielä. 1/5

2,5 nummer geprobeerd en toen had ik meer zin om m'n teennagels met een tangetje eruit te trekken. Wat een enorm gedateerde zielige over de top nep-stoere bagger is dit toch!

Je me suis déjà exprimé sur le sujet.

babe wake up un nouvel album de nu metal just dropped 🥰

1.5 stars, because "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" is nostalgic and not as obnoxious as the rest. Try hard angsty lyrics that overpower any semblance of musical acumen that might have showed up in the second half of the record. So many albums run only 30-40 min and thanks to a nearly 10 min pointless outro this album is 75 min of something only a 'rebellious' young teen could put themselves through.

Naw, screw that. A 3-star album on release, and later taken off the 1001 list?!? Not even gonna dignify that with a listen - give me something else from The Fall, it might surprise me. I got enough of Fred Durst's bulllshit in the 90's.

Boring guys singing clichee songs, singing as much FUCK etcetera as possible or trying to be tough without any meaning. Don't mind any FUCK the Police if you have something to say. Which they don't seem to have. Worthy only to polish Trent Reznor's shoes.

Top bobble

Not for me

Æji

The riffs are good and the guitarist is putting in WORK but the rapping is god awful. If there were any other vocals it would be a lot better but i guess it defined an era. One star for rolling tho KEEP ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN

I remember this differently. I shamefully admit that I thought some of these songs were bangers back then. Boy was I wrong. This was terrible. His voice is almost unlistenable.

Embarrassing. Did they think they were cool for sampling the Eagles?

I didn’t save any songs, this is the kinda album you listen to once per lifetime.

I should have known this was garbage before wasting my time verifying every song is unlistenable. I’m so thankful this genre of music was brief.

God they’re annoying

chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water

Ovaj album je toliko jebeno loš da je to nevjerojatno. Razina lijenosti songwrittinga i čista nepatvorena glupost tekstova je baš fascinantna. Ovaj album je u trenutku izlaska bio najprodavaniji rock album u prvom tjednu u sadu s čak 1.1 milijuna primjeraka. Nije ni čudno što je cd era ubrzo došla kraju😄
