Alternative Press' 25 Most Wanted Albums of 2000
Album Title: TBA
Release Date: Summer 2000, on Flip/Interscope
What can we expect? When opportunity knocks, Bizkit-boss Fred Durst is
always nearby to give it a pedicure. The Interscope Records VP recently
sold a treatment to Warner Bros. film studios and is currently negotiating
with other studios for his directorial debut. But Durst is passionately
committed to Limp Bizkit and their many fans, and will begin recording
the follow-up to Significant Other with either Brendan O'Brien
[Rage Against The Machine, Korn] or Terry Date [Soundgarden, Deftones]
at the helm. For this album, Durst and his bandmates worked on material
with their respective tour buses and then shared the ideas during
soundchecks on the Family Values tour. "The cool thing about my band is that
we're unpredictable," says Durst. "Our emotions go up and down, so it's
impossible for me to say what direction the music will go." But unlike
many artists who explore new avenues to jump-start their muse, Durst
shrugged off any notions of the band making bold changes to their
music. "[Our fans] should expect a new level, but one that will appeal
to their acquired tastes," he says. "I think our fans grow with us as
we grow, and we're never gonna let them down. In the past, I've had so
many bands disappoint me; I'm not gonna disappoint our fans." [JP]
