Alongside KoRn, Limp Bizkit deserve either the credit or the blame for starting the nu-metal craze that dominated music in the late nineties and early noughties. Blending rap and metal in a much more clumsy way than KoRn did, they've gone multi-platinum many times and are mostly remembered for two things: Fred Durst and that album about the Hot Dogs.
But going on Greatest Hitz, Limp Bizkit weren't nearly as bad as people imply. Fred Durst, admittedly, is probably one of the worst frontmen of all time. If you can't ignore that, then you need to ignore this record and all of their other ones. However if you can get past his awful lyrics - although in the early days (and the latter days I'll get to later) he wasn't nearly as annoying ... Read More:

BOBBYJOE you obviously love this album but pleeeeeeeeeeeeease listen carefully before you start miss-quoting verses. Common does not say "like cash is clay" what does that mean??? HE SAYS "LIKE CASSIUS CLAY" THAT'S MOHAMMED ALI'S REAL NAME. You give this album 5 stars, imagine how good it'll be when you know what he's saying. There's a couple other mistakes but..... Anyway, God bless for supporting REAL HIPHOP. Oh and its a good album not as good as "ONE DAY.." and nowhere near "RESURRECTION" PEACE.

I have never really been a fan of Ashanti's music. She has had some good singles but never really any good, solid albums...until now! Ashanti has definitely improved vocally, lyrically (she writes her own songs) and just delivers somethin' different from anythin' I've heard on her previous releases. If you like contemporary R&B then this CD is worth a listen. I respect Ashanti for tryin' somethin' a little different from her usual. As an album I'd say it was her best so far.

An average album let down by a very weak production - a few good songs but nothing in the same class as Master Of Puppets or Reign In Blood.
1988's State Of Euphoria & 1990's Persistence Of Time are FAR superior despite lacking the iconic status of this vastly overrated 1987 effort.
Very mid tempo with a tinny drum sound and thin guitars - not this band's finest hour...........

This collection is perfect both for those of us who don't have a large hip hop collection and for those who'd like a 'greatest hits' style to sing along to in the car!
It has most tracks that you'd want such as 'Jump Around' or 'Push It' as well as the ones you'd forgotten all about such as 'Gangsta's Paradise' or Witness (1 Hope)'
I'd definately recommend it - I've already got one copy and I'm now gonna buy one for a friend cos she keeps borrowing mine!!

My opinion is that this album is a classic. Commercial yes, lacking the real depth of Me Against the World & Makaveli yes also. But classic none the less. Songs like 'Ambitionz Az A Ridah', 'Only God Can Judge Me', 'I Ain't Mad At Cha', 'Can't C Me', 'Holla at Me' & 'Picture Me Rolling' are defining moments for the genre and are of the caliber that you rarely hear in todays rap. There's awful songs too 'Check Out Time', 'Whats your Phone #' & 'Thug Passion' but overall a v nice album that no rap fan should be without.
