Previously, they had pent-up rage on their side, but here, the music sounds rote - when it gets louder, it signifies nothing, it just gets louder - and Durst can see no farther than his past year. Since Bizkit have never relied on song or studiocraft, it shouldn't come as a surprise that neither is in evidence here, but the problem is they're fishing in a shallow pool. Combined, Durst's self-pitying and the monotonous music give away that the band bashed Chocolate Starfish out very quickly - it's the sound of a band determined to deliver a sequel in a finite amount of time. If the band supported him with sheets of noise, terrifying guitars, monstrous rhythms, or even a hook every now and then, Durst's narcissism may have been palatable, but the group pretty much churns out the same colorless heavy plod for each song. Envision a Use Your Illusion where Axl Rose felt compelled to rewrite "Get in the Ring" for every song, just to make sure that you, dear fan, realize that he's persecuted and thank the lord above that you're there to understand him. He may occasionally attempt to frame his rage as us versus them, as on "My Generation," but he winds up bringing everything around to himself.
Clearly, Limp leader Fred Durst takes some pride in his ass and dick joke, since he repeatedly uses it to illustrate the one theme of the album, namely how nobody understands him, especially in Limp Bizkit's year of success after 1999's Significant Other.
But it doesn't stop there, or with the sickly cover art, since hot dogs and chocolate starfishes become lyrical themes on the album. The scatological meaning of Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water is obvious to anyone who's graduated junior high, but it stumbles over its punch line, winding up as more bewildering than funny or offensive. And how do they do that? With a title that's defiantly vulgar but, more revealingly, embarrassingly awkward. Smashing Pumpkins knew everybody thought they were tragic romantics Limp Bizkit know everybody believes they're juvenile vulgarians, so they're ready to prove 'em right. Let's start with the title, not only the winner for the Billy Corgan award for ludicrous monikers, but a title, like Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, that's a winking acknowledgement that the group knows what its stereotype is.
