reviews:
Kerrang magazine have heard the new album and this is what they had to say about each track:
1.Re-Entry
Short intro track featuring circus-style announcer being interrupted by "comedy" rap voice
2.Eat You Alive
The first single. A riff-heavy workout that changes gear halfway through and turns into something altogether slushier.
3.Gimmie the Mic
Mixes a traditional Bizkit-style groove with lead-plated guitars. Features a staccato rap from Durst, in which he dubs himself a microphone fiend.
4.Underneath the Gun
Hypnotic slow-burner that sees a deep-voiced Durst singing "I've been working so hard/I'm underneath the Gun".The least 'Limpbizkit' song on the whole CD.
5.Down another Day
A suprisingly introspective song that sounds like it may be written for a female friend 'Don't have to bore you with details' sings Durst, "But i'll never let you down".
6.Almost Over
Another slice of low-key, melodic introspection (Never got grades as a little boy/Locked in a cage as a little boy), before the guitars kick in halfway through).
7.Build a Bridge
Starts with picked acoustic guitar, before Durst intones 'Build a bridge with your mind,takes me there every time' ends with the line 'Even though its gonna fall apart break my heart I'll keep building till I die'.
8.Red Light-Green Light
Rolling funk-tinged track that recalls a looser 'Take a Look Around'.Features a guest apperance by Snoop Dogg.
9.Take it Home
More acoustic guitar,this time punctuated by the odd squlch of electronica and Durst claiming that 'I cry myself to sleep'.
10.The Only One
Balls-out rocker with a riff that would have done Soundgarden proud,Features the line 'Hold Up,you're moving to fast,I ain't looking to score on the first night.
11.Let me down
A return to the old-style Bizkit sound complete with fat groove.Key lyric: 'You're not good enough to be with me'.
12.Lonely World
I'm addict to the state of hoping it can last' raps Durst over a deep bass line before squaring up to his critics 'At least I can say i've never been a quitter.
13.Phenomenon
Initially guitar-less track,this soons cranks up the volume.Nods to Public Enemys 'Bring the Noise'.
14.Creamer(Radio is Dead)
Another old school Bizkit workout,with the added bonus of some tribal drumming.
15.Head 4 The Barricade
Heavy Rap-Metal track that sees Durst warning people to 'Watch out when my adrenaline kicks'. Interestenly enough features a namecheck for the Deftones.
16.Behind Blue Eyes
A faithful cover of the whos 1972 power ballad. Key line:'No one knows what its like,to be hated'.
17.All that Easy
Brief,sample-strewn interlude.Not necessary really.
18.Drown
The albums finale sees Durst crooning 'Save me,save me before I drown'.
