Limp Bizkit went on hiatus during the back half of the 2000s, with leader Fred Durst finding far more critical acclaim as a film director than he ever did as a singer. Despite these hosannas, Durst felt compelled to reunite the Bizkit, to find a way to tap into the anger that started the whole ball rolling. A tough task for any band, but apart from dabbling with Auto-Tune -- the quivering electronic vocal effect that gets skewered on “AutoTunage” -- Limp Bizkit is intent on rolling back the clock and returning to the full-throttled attack of
Three Dollar Bill Y’All. As sheer sound, it’s executed well -- more assured and musical than any of their other albums -- their age lending them a dexterity absent in their hits.
