20 anni fa usciva quella ciofeca (per il sottoscritto) di Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water che già dal titolo faceva presagire un tripudio di suoni in grado di catturare le masse ai tempi sempre più interessate al fenomeno Nu-Metal. Andò così, solo che le masse interessate erano composte da una manica di minchioni della peggior specie e cosa più importante non si parlava (e forse non se n’è mai parlato) più di Nu-Metal.. i limp bizkit hanno si creato l’unico album (il debutto) classificabile come Rap-Metal (escludendo ovviamente tutta la discografia dei Bio-Hazard) ma per il resto siamo finiti nell’orribile calderone del cross-over.. il Nu-Metal non è mai stata cosa loro. Come dicevo prima, le masse furono attirate per il semplice fatto che Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water è un disco che per essere compreso (anzi meglio non soffermarsi sui testi) basta avere 12 anni e la zucca vuota. Io stesso (ancora oggi) non mi sono mai azzardato a leggere i testi perché sono (ma lo si intuisce) di un’ignoranza RARA, l’ho sempre concepito come un disco da bordello. Il mood per l’ascolto è questo : siamo tutti assieme e vogliamo qualcosa che ci faccia far bordello senza capire effettivamente cosa stia accadendo.. una roba senza impegno, una roba IGNORANTE !
Se poi vogliamo discutere delle canzoni posso dire che : Hot Dog poteva essere sssssfumeggiante solo che Fred Durst ripete per ben 48 (E DICO 48) volte la parola FUCK creandoti sconforto, My Generation (specie in live) è la cover adatta per scatenare il pandemonio e non capire niente il riff di Wes Borland nonostante la poca complessità traina il pezzo in maniera azzeccata e lo scratch di Dj Lethal prima del ritornello finale per me rimane leggendario purtroppo Durst rovinerà tutto con i suoi fuck & piece of shit assolutamente gratuiti.. Livin It Up presa solo la chitarra sarebbe un buon inizio per sperimentare un brano groove-metal dai suoni futuristici ma NON È COSÌ, la celebre Rollin (pezzo che fece il botto) è una delle canzoni più inutili e vuote (azzeccata per un album del genere) mai concepite, Full Nelson (termine finito nel gergo pornografico) con la sua valanga di oscenità dovrebbe fare il verso (a livello di sound) a Stuck e Counterfeit (primo album) fallendo quasi del tutto, Boiler è il pezzo più forte di questo schifo d’album non è un caso che sia stato scelto dai fan alla faccia di Durst e delle sue cagate da megalomane, Take a Look Around invece fa parte dei grandi classici del genere, è un pezzo (mi duole dire) impeccabile sotto ogni aspetto giustamente saltato in cima alle classifiche e per concludere voglio citare It’ll be ok pezzo dal mood lentissimo (da molti poco conosciuto e da me apprezzatissimo) che nel riff di chiusura sprigiona in me una sensazione difficile da descrivere.. so solo che è piacevole.
Per chiudere la discussione dico che Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water è un album così megalomane da risultare decisamente INNOCUO. Lo sconsiglio a TUTTI a meno che non vogliate sentirvi anche voi delle zucche vuote o semplicemente ascoltare quello che poteva essere il primo album “””””trap””””” (trap perché vuoto e inutile) del 2000.

08 The One (05:43)
i'm from all the loneliness and this is how i feel,
understanding everything has never been my deal,
maybe you have crossed my path to live inside of me
or maybe you're the reason why i'm losing all my decency
but i believe that you and me
we could be so happy and free
inside a world of misery
and i believe that you and me
we could be so... inside of you inside of me
'coz this could be the one this could be the one
this could be the one this could be the one
i've been lookin', lookin', lookin'
i've been lookin' for my mrs. right but she don't exist
chemistry is everything
and we're anything but this
maybe i have crossed your path to sweep you off your feet
or maybe i'm the reason why you cry at night before you sleep
but i believe that you and me
we could be so happy and free inside a world of misery
and i believe that you and me we could be so...
inside of you inside of me
'cuz this could be the one
this could be the one
this could be the one
this could be the one
what do you think?
we could give it a try
'cause you never know maybe we could be soul mates ,
but maybe not or maybe so
if you never try, then you'll never know
the grass could be greener (could be)
and it'll always be greener on the other side
but you just never know.
This could be the one
i do believe that you and me
we could be so happy and free inside a world of misery
and i believe that you and me,
we could be so...
inside of you inside of me
'cause this could be the one
this could be the one
this could be the one
this could be the one
maybe so or maybe not
who knows?
If you're alone
I know why
If you can hide
Then go hide away
But I want you to stay
and blow me away
I want you to stay
and blow me away
If you're alone
don't you cry
If you can hide
Then go hide away
I want you to stay
and blow me away
I want you to stay
and blow me away
I want you to stay
and blow me away

Nauseous, raising the stakes
Increasing the weight

And lift their plate
So quit trying to invade my space
Before I call for a face to face
And gotta rest my case

And you'll see the size of the fame
Then you might despise
The size of my game

Before your head hit the dash

A demo from an eight track
Brought me to a place

10 Take a Look Around (05:21)
All the tension in the world today
All the little girls fillin' up the world today
When the good comes to bad, the bad comes to good
But I'ma live my life like I should (like I should)
Now all the critics wanna hit it
To Shit can how we did it
Just Because they don't get it
But I'll stay fitted
New era committed
Now this red cap gets a rap from his critics
Do we always gotta cry?
Do we always gotta live inside a lie?
Life's just a blast
It's moving really fast
You better stay on top or life will kick you in the ass
Follow me into a solo
Remember that, kid
So what you wanna do?
And where you gonna run
When your starin' down the cable of a-
A mic pointed at your grill like a gun
It's Limp Bizkit rockin the set
It's like Russian Roulette
When your placin your bet
So don't be upset
When your broke
And your done
'Cause I'ma be the one
'Til I jet
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
Cuz hate is all the world has ever seen lately
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
Now I know why you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately
Why you want to hate me?
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
Now you wanna hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
Now you wanna hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
Does anybody really know the secret
Or the combination for this life and where they keep it
It's kinda sad when you don't know the meaning
But everything happens for a reason
I don't even know what I should say
'Cause I'm an idiot, a loser, a microphone abuser
I analyze every second I exist
Beaten on my mind every second with my fist
Everybody wanna run (run)
Everybody wanna hide from the gun (gun)
You can take a ride through this life if you want
But you can't take that edge off that knife (no sir)
And now you want your money back (money back)
But your denied 'cause your brains fried from the sack
And there ain't nothing I can do
'Cause life is a lesson you'll learn it when your through
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
Now I know why you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately
Now you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately
Now you wanna hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately
Now I know why...
Now I know why...
Now I know why...
Now I know why...
Now I know why you wanna hate me
Now I know why you wanna hate me
Now I know why you wanna hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
12 Boiler (07:00)
Looks like I'm a do everything myself
Maybe I could use some help
but hell, if ya want somethin' done right
you gotta do it yourself
Maybe life is up and down
but my life's been what till now?
I crawled up your butt somehow
and that's when things got turned around
I used to be alive
Now I feel pathetic
and now I get it
What's done is done
You just leave it alone and don't regret it
sometimes, and some things, turn into dumb things
and that's when you put your foot down
Why did I have to go meet somebody like you?
(Like you)
Why did you have to go hurt somebody like me?
(Like me)
How could you do somebody like that?
(Like that)
Hope you know that I'm never coming back
(Never coming back)
Looks like I'm a do everything myself
(Everything myself)
Maybe I could use some help
but hell, if ya want somethin' done right
you just do it yourself
(Got it?)
Maybe life is up and down
but my life's been (what?)
till now (got it)
I crawled up your butt somehow (got it)
and that's when shit got turned around (got it)
I used to be alive
I'm so pathetic
but now I get it
What's done is done
I know you just leave it alone and don't regret it
sometimes, and some things turn into dumb things
and that's when you put your foot down
Why did I have to go meet somebody like you?
Why did you have to go hurt somebody like me?
How could you do somebody like that?
Hope you know that I'm never comin' back
Why did I have to go meet somebody like you?
Why did you have to go hurt somebody like me?
How could you do somebody like that?
Hope you know that I'm never comin' back
Depending on you is done
Giving to you is done
No more eating, no sleeping, no living
It's all just more giving to you
and I'm done
Depending on you is done
Giving to you is done
No more eating, no sleeping, no living
It's all just more giving to you
and I'm done
The hiding from you is done
The lying from you is done
No more eating, no sleeping, no living
It's all just more giving to you
and I'm done
Why did I have to go meet somebody like you?
Why did you have to go and hurt somebody like me?
How could you do somebody like that?
I hope you know that I'm never coming back
Why? Why? Why?
13 Hold On (05:47)
Scott:
You keep your distance, I can't deny you
I've got the feeling, can't satisfy you
I've got your picture on the wall
I've got the picture, long gone
You keep your wishes I'll keep my feelings
There goes another one that kept me breathing
I'm waiting for you I know your leaving
I still adore you, you never need me
Hold on
I found another way to let you go away
Hold on
You found another way to bleed my soul away
Fred:
The things you told me to hear you speak
I'm burning slowly I'm growing weak
You bring me closer to yesterday
Yesterday's a million miles away
Why can't you hear me? Why can't I sleep?
And I don't understand what keeps me breathing
I'm waiting for you I know your leaving
I'll still adore you, you'll never need me
Hold on
I found another way to let you go away
Hold on
You found another way to bleed my soul away

Saranno dei venduti, commerciali e ridicoli... ma a me "Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water" piace, lo ammetto.
Questo disco è stato concepito per saltare, muovere la testa in alto e in basso, e scatenarsi a ritmo dei "fuck" pronunciati da Durst... e basta.
Di (sic)
CIOE’, MA STIAMO SCHERZANDO???!!! Questo cd è una vergogna, 75 minuti di musica penosa.
Dove sono finiti i Limp Bizkit? Quelli che facevano nu-metal/crossover quasi meglio dei Rage Against The Machine?
Di JULIAN HAMPSHIRE1
Il rappare sfacciato di quel puttaniere di Durst mi aveva conquistato.
Diciamolo che dopo questo album la produzione dei biscotti è arrivata a livelli davvero bassi.
Di Dexster
Questo è uno dei migliori album made in U.S.A. usciti nel 2000!
Un album ricco di suoni, che sa alternare momenti di pazzia a momenti un po' più introspettivi.
