Limp Bizkit Album: “New Old Songs [Edited]”

Description :

NEW OLD SONGS is a collection of Limp Bizkit remixes. <p>While Limp Bizkit scrambled to find a replacement guitarist for the vacancy left by Wes Borland, mastermind Fred Durst found a way to breathe new life into selected tracks from the band's canon. NEW OLD SONGS reads like a who's who of 2001's hottest DJ's. "Nookie" sounds funkier and possibly more compelling than the original, as manipulated by The Neptunes, while Timbaland puts a fresh spin on "Take a Look Around" with hip-hop help from MC's E-40 and Eightball. Limp Bizkit's own man behind the turntables (DJ Lethal) takes center stage with his cut-up version of "Break Stuff." Xzibit checks in with DJ Premier on "Getcha Groove On," while Durst tries his own hand at remixing with guest vocals by Everlast on "Faith/Fame." NEW OLD SONGS is a great introduction for hip-hop fans that find rap metal a bit hard to swallow, as these well produced remixes simultaneously appease hungry Bizkit fans.

Wow, I really hate this collection of "remixes." Thankfully, I can honestly say I do not own it, but I have heard in it it's entirety and it is just HORRIBLE. I've been itching to write a review trashing this album for the past year, and I've just now gotten around to doing it. First off, why would anyone need six remixes of "My Way" (One of them featuring the horribly untalented P. Diddy)? Add to the fact that they chose pretty much the worst collection of Limp Bizkit songs to remake. I mean, really, "Rollin'" is embarassing enough without the remix. The good songs that were remixed were horrible too. For instance, the Timbaland remix of "Rearranged," which is one of the best Limp Bizkit songs, totally wrecks the value of the song. Sam Rivers' excellent bass is ruined by some music that I can only describe as "chicken sounds." It's just horrible. "Take A Look Around," probably the only worthwhile song off of their last album, is just boring here (Notice Timbaland remixed this too, are we seeing a pattern?). Even respectable producers put themselves to shame on here, with people like The Neptunes and Butch Vig working on this, one would think there would be some value to this CD, but there isn't. The only mix on here that is remotely tolerable is the "Faith" remix featuring Everlast, but that's been floating around since 1999. What can I say that will detour you from buying this album? It's just the worst piece of music I have ever heard and I am eternally grateful for every minute that I do not own this CD.

If you thought the original versions were bad, then these mixes will leave your mouthfeeling like hell. For good rap-metal listen to Rage Against the Machine, Body Count and E-Town Concrete, and for good music in general listen to Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Sepultura, Metallica (hell, even the new stuff's better than this crap!), Anthrax, Sevendust, etc.

If you are thinking about buying this cd,don't.It is just horrible.I'll admit,3$ bill was a pretty good cd.But look at what lb are doing now,subjecting us to torture by making this cd.This is just awful.There is not one song on here that is worth bragging about.If you want a Bizkit cd that is at least decent,then get [three] dollar bill.don't waste that sweet cash you worked so hard to earn on this poor excuse for a cd.

no one should buy this cd. limp bizkit sold out very bad but i never thought it could get this out of hand. what they have done is taken thier most pop, overplayed, teenybopper songs and had them remixed by rap producers. what were they thinking? i feel sorry for anyone who thinks this is quality music. DO NOT EVER BUY THIS!!!(...)

Ok, limp bizkit went from metal.. to rap/ rock to rap! this is a 100% sell out. its all rap remixes and nothing rock, all my favorite songs are ruined. limp bizkit use to be my obsession, my favorite my idol and they are now not liked by me.
