Limp Bizkit
Unquestionable Truth (Part 1)
(Geffen/Universal)
They say the truth will set you free. Well, allrighty then. Here goes:
Rap-metal hasbeens Limp Bizkit have not made a decent album since Significant Other. Chiefly, this is because squirrel-voiced frontman Fred Durst comes off as a blowhard, a buffoon and a butthead. In fact, the smartest move he's made in years was convincing erstwhile guitarist Wes Borland to rejoin the band for this set.
Borland's shuddering riffs and blast-furnace licks were sorely missed on 2003's woefully inept Results May Vary, and are indisputably the best part of The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1), a half-hour mini-album that is presumably the start of some sort of concept disc.
Presuming, of course, that Durst's latest batch of passive-aggressive whining about the media and fame and how he's a victim of both can be termed a concept.
Granted, The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) is Durst and Bizkit's best work in ages. But truth be told, that's not saying much.
