Daily Rec: Tea and a Bizkit?
Song: Build a Bridge
By: Limp Bizkit
Over the years I have received a lot of stick for liking Limp Bizkit. Despite this, I have always maintained that the Results May Vary album does have some excellent tracks on it. I don’t mean they are good songs for Limp Bizkit, I mean they are just plain good songs. You have to forget some of the embarrassing stuff that they’ve done around them, and take each song on its own and then you can appreciate them for what they are.
One of these songs is Build a Bridge. Still in a nu-metal style there are nice melodies and subtle synths, mixed with louder powerful choruses. It’s nice to hear Fred Durst sticking to singing too. Again, some of the songs in which he raps are good, but this song demonstrates that his talents stretch beyond being able to swear 46 times in a rather messed up rhyme.
Another reason I am a big fan of the band is for Wes Borland’s guitar work. There’s something about his style which I find enthralling. I’ve never seen him play live, so I was tempted to get tickets for their performance at Download Festival this year, but I didn’t really feel comfortable with the idea that they were the reason I was going.
So go on, give it a try, what’s the worst that can happen?
