Additional personnel Scott Borland keyboards.

Recorded at Indigo Ranch Studio, Malibu, California.
THREE DOLLAR BILL, YALL$, mixes a funky rhythm section, screeching guitars, half rapped, half screamed vocals and noisy sound sculpting courtesy of DJ Lethal of House Of Pain fame into a stew that wastes no time simmering and heads straight for a rolling boil. Taking cues from Rage Against The Machine and buddies Korn, the band creates a nearly impenetrable wall of sound.
Singer Fred Durst obviously has some issues to work out, and he uses the band as an opportunity to vent.Whether he's railing against fake scenesters"Counterfeit", a gold-digging girlfriend "Stuck" or his own insecurities "Nobody Loves Me", Durst makes his opinions known in no uncertain terms,and at the top of his lungs to boot.Throw in a cover of George Michael's "Faith" and you've got a killer CD.

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.

Album Review:
Rolling Stone (7/8-22, pp.143-144) - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5) - "...at this point, hating them seems a little disingenuous. They're actually (gulp) good."
Entertainment Weekly (6/18/99, pp.74-75) - "...It takes it cues from hardcore hip-hop...grunge...the post-80's metal of Metallica, and, to a lesser degree, electronica....But overall, SIGNIFICANT OTHER isn't simply modern rock; it's postmodern rock..." - Rating: B
CMJ (6/28/99, p.5) - "...[SIGNIFICANT OTHER] has an intensity that never lets up, surpassing the musical scope of its predecessor with rap-core gems such as "Nookie" and the blunted hip-hop of..."N 2 Gether Now"....The unholy matrimony of metal and rap celebrates another victory...superb..."
