Music reviews of Three Dollar Bill, Y'All

Music Review: What was and what should've been
Rating: 5 Stars

1. Intro - ?/5 - of Limp Bizkits two other intros (and outros), this is probably the best. Still, its only an introduction.

2. Pollution - 4.5/5 - this is really an amazing song. Everything with it is awesome: the words, the sound, its all good. The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is the end. The way Fred shouts back over and over becomes a little annoying. Even so that was probably intended.

3. Counterfeit - 5/5 - in all likelihood, this is LBs best song. Its their most well-rounded anyways. The chorus, you figured me out / you wear a mask / cold counterfeit / you figured me out / you were a... fake, is great. You wont find words like that anymore.

4. Stuck - 5/5 - this could also be considered the bands best song. But I think its variations in lyrics and music make it hard for some people to like. However, the lyrics are awesome; to the point of almost hilarious. This is probably my favorite track on the CD.

5. Nobody Loves Me - 3.5/5 - again, the ending takes away from the impressiveness this track has to offer. I love the you think youre better than me? / you suck! climactic scream and shut up beginning. But the quiet, no-rock end makes it weak.

6. Sour - 4/5 - this track represents the most rap on Three Dollar Bill Yall. And thats okay. Had they tried to reproduce this track a few times, it mightve become unpleasant. Nevertheless it easily stands out as a hidden gem.

7. Stalemate - 3/5 - the slow start probably takes away from the fact that Stalemate is a pretty good song. Freds voice does become a bit annoying, but thats mostly because the background music is too repetitive. The end here is a relief.

8. Clunk - 3.5/5 - this track is slightly better than the last, but it doesnt quite balance with some of the previous songs. The lyrics are excellent and the mid-part (almost) spoken by Fred is, believe it or not, enjoyable. And again, the end couldve been better.

9. Faith - 5/5 - despite what many people think, this is not a Limp Bizkit song. Its actually a George Michael cover (thats right, George Michael). But the twist of rock and rap changes it so much that it becomes a Limp Bizkit classic and a recognized fan-favorite.

10. Stink Finger - 3/5 - although this track is pretty original and as rockin as it gets for LB, its rather average compared to either Counterfeit or even Sour. It might be, along with track seven, the weakest track on the album.

11. Indigo Flow - 4/5 - I actually like this song. Its basically a shout-out to everyone and everything that influenced the band; including the Deftones, drinking, Fear Factory, Korn, and of course... God. Without the turntable ending it wouldve been nothing.

12. Leech - 5/5 - this is the definitive hidden gem on Three Dollar Bill Yall. Although it is said to be a demo version, it is just as good and even better than a few of the CDs other tracks. If it was more than just two minutes it mightve been more accepted.

13. Everything - 3.5/5 - this 16-minute closer doesnt really finish out the album with a loud bang, but its a bang nonetheless. The lyrics are amazing and the music is unlike anything else on the disc. Its kind of slow (and long); which might be why it isnt so prominent.

Unlike Limp Bizkits other two CDs, this one does not have a true bad song. And in my opinion, Three Dollar Bill Yall has their three best songs of all-time: Counterfeit, Stuck, and yes, Faith. The lyrics are perfectly unique throughout; and their sound is at the top of its game. Even though their next two releases have been depressingly short of good (compared to this one), these 13 tracks can easily make up for that if you are a fan. I could probably give this album 4 stars and still feel like Id done the band justice. But since theres too many people who dont understand and/or comprehend Limp Bizkit, Ill give it five. This is, undoubtedly, THE place to start if you are looking to become a Limp Bizkit fan. And if you consider yourself a LB fan (already) and you dont own this recording, buy it.
