I only know a few tracks from compilations, but each time it's a sample of a whole song ( a popular one, like You Only Live Twice, John Barry/James bond ), plus some beep sounds, and in the end it sounds almost like the original.
!??!

I can definitly see why some people wouldn't like them, I duno, an aquired taste I guess.

Initially dismissed this one because of all the rapping and Fred Durst, but some of the songs are fucking badass. LOVE "Dead Bodies Everywhere" and "My Gift To You". AMAZING guitar tones and textures.

Limp Bizkit - Significant Other
Fred's rapping on 9 Teen 90 Nine is fucking great. "I'M A BEASTY BOY -- SURE SHOT, AVOID THE SHELL SHOCK, FUCK THE GLAM ROCK, ASSED OUT LIKE KEN SHAMROCK." Really prophetic. This is no 3 Dolla Bill Y'all$ but it's still good.

Static-X - Wisconsin Death Trip
Taking Ministry's brutal industrial approach and updating it for the modern era. Love the growly vocals and the simplistic futurist riffs.

Spineshank - Height of Callousness
See above. GREAT fucking album. "FUCK INTEGRITY, FUCK INTEGRITY!!"

Cold - 13 Ways to Bleed On Stage
Over look the cursing and overdriven one finger riffs on the tuned-to-mud-sharp overprocessed guitars and you have a band dying to support art punk, who clearly loved early Cure records. But you know, this band is way better than the fucking Cure.

STAIND - Tormented
This is their really hard, early, underground, dirty shit. The album opens with a gun clicking and ends with a gunshot. Brilliant!

Vanilla Ice - Hard to Swallow
Fucking love this record.

hed(p.e.) - Broke
Recently got back into this one. Fucking badass rapping with some junk rock riffs. Greatshit.

Your house must be hell right now.

Pain Teens were fucking awesome. saw them live at least 10 times. Once opening up for the sonic youth.

i recently re-listened Television - "Marquee Moon", it's not a album i listen many times but i'm still love those arty-jazz guitars with the fragile voice of Tom Verlaine.

Also listened to Wheatus's first album. Sorta sounds like a bunch of pop-punk kids discovering Weezer... not great but I remember why I liked it all those years ago.

The Wedding Present.

A band with class: responsible hairstyles, jumpers, sensibly cut jeans, shoes, songs about engagements and blokes called kevin. Proper, like a good wristwatch.

throbbing gristle- heathen earth

early industrial and dark ambient stuff has also been hittin my ears hard for the first time in a while; tg, moevot, test dept, clock dva, lustmord, etc...

o and the best band of all time; DESTROY ALL MONSTERS

Holy Fuck LP, I want more.
Modern Guilt by Beck. I love it, it jsut has the perfect mood for me these days. Especially "youthless". Sonic Youthless.

The Verlaines - You're Just Too Obscure For Me...
A band I tend to forget about when I'm into other things, but when I listen to them again, it's great.
