I know you.

I mean if you just checked my link you'd know it was Powerman 5000 but you thought it might be Static X so I guess you didn't do that. What specifically about those two bands stuck out to you? Aside from Wisconsin Death Trip being a beast that of course I'd support.

Just those two being industrial tinged and this being an industrial thread, might have been looking too far into the joke though.

I listened to Powerman 5000 for the first time in years a bit ago and you don't need to waste your time. God damn are they bland. Their hooks aren't even that good. It was like going back to Hybrid Theory after years and being like, bro, I don't even get why I ever cared. Gold Cobra is literally better than this because I kinda like Gold Cobra and Fred Durst is fascinating as the most obnoxious frontman ever. You should listen to Gold Cobra. It's like Limp Bizkit stopped worrying about having the most cliche nu metal riffs ever and went a bit Slayer. Kind of. I don't know.

I'm kinda really interested into getting into Limp Bizkit somehow oddly enough bc they always striked me with an interesting character but never had like a strong approach to the material imo. Is Results May Vary really that bad or could I start there?

I've actually been checking a bit of Limp Bizkit and been very disappointed so far with how much I don't care about them still beyond Fred Durst being amusing, but aside from Gold Cobra being fun Results May Vary was one of the things that made me curious about doing a dive on them cause it's not bad. It's way better than just them doing chugging nonsense at least. Limp Bizkit might actually be a decent band with talent who just decided to be really ****ing terrible for money even before there was money in it. I think it will probably be, along with Gold Cobra, the only Limp Bizkit album I ever bother with. I actually recommend giving it a shot.



Like aside from being a weird rape track with a rape video this is actually better than 95% of alt metal.

Oh and as ****ty as so much of their singles are this is a little hidden gem that kinda knocks. I even remember it being my fav from back in high school when I actually liked the band. It has just a little bit more musically going for it and Fred Durst is giving just a little bit more creativity into lyrics and performance, and while it's still pretty trash it's my kind of trash and that little bit more effort goes a long way to making them actually entertaining and not just tedious.

Okay this really slaps actually. Now I'm excited about this journey.

The Batlord 10-28-2019 08:28 PM

Don't get too excited these supposed slaps still suck.





Although as much as this is terrible I'm fascinated by how it's not really a song with any structure I can figure out, like I don't know what the song sounds like even while listening to it, but I feel it has value as being the most obnoxious rock radio hit of all time and having no redeeming value. It's like the band just agreed that so long as they backed Fred Durst being Fred Durst it didn't matter what they played cause it would go platinum. Like, that's somehow an artistic triumph I can appreciate.
