Hackneyed, Baby!

Wait, Wait For Me

Later today I will post a very, very special review of a very special album. But before that I just wanted to give some words about Limp Bizkit's recently released best of-collection entitled Greatest Hitz (sigh). The album contains a broad variety of Bizkit-classics and many of my favorites are on it. I was surprised to see that many really good songs very represented even though they aren't huge hits. Such songs as "Boiler" and "Build A Bridge". Out of the 17 songs on the album 3 are new unreleased ones. These are slower, radio-rock:ish tunes. Competent, but pretty boring. But I must mention the last one of the trio: the mash-up between Mötley Crüe's "Home Sweet Home" and The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony". I cannot decide whether I like or dislike this song, and it feels so odd. I don't know if it's built in because it's Fred Durst that's doing the vocals and because it's two such great songs... It's definelty a check-out to make though. It's an interesting, however slightly boring, version.
But all in all I should advice people to check out this collection since it does feature some of the band's best songs, and it goes to show what underrated musician they are, standing in the shadow of the always-all over the place-Durst.

And don't forget to check in tonight. Then the big bombs will fall over planet Hackneyed!
