Significant Other (Clean)

Smashing the sophomore jinx, Limp Bizkit puts together a screaming second album in SIGNIFICANT OTHER. The band's songwriting has matured, and the experience of touring is evident in the production. Singer Fred Durst is a frontman for the next millennium, combining hardcore metal with the slickness of hiphop. Limp Bizkit is backed by the turntable skills of House Of Pain's DJ Lethal. You can hear the hiphop influences in almost every track--from the lead single, "Nookie", to the DJ Premier-produced "N 2 Gether Now". Other highlights include "Break Stuff", "Just Like This", and "I'm Broke". Be sure to check out the Durst-directed video for "Nookie", as it shows just how multi-talented Limp Bizkit really is.
