Music Limp Bizkits last album

O.K i know that its been out for a while now but i thought i'd bring it up.
The last Limp Bizkit album was not all what i had been expecting. I'm not saying that its really that bad of an album but it could have been so much more. Some of the songs i tought just were not them and i was waiting ages for this new album. When i first heard Eat You Alive i thought thought "yes its just like the others". After listening to it for so long i think that it was a mistake to let Wes Borland go cause he was the best guiterist in the band. It's just a thought but i don't think that the album lived up to what i expected from the band.

 

I own the album, but I have yet to actually pop it in the ol' player. Maybe after I do that I'll have some more intelligent comments to make. However, in the mean time, you'll just have to bear with me.
I've heard Eat You Alive ... repeatedly. It's a decent track, but if it had come out back in the day when Durst and his boys made me like the band, I would have just dropped my Limp Bizkit CD in the trash and been done with it. Borland or no Borland, the band has lost its direction. They used to be putting down phat-*** beats like Faith, Counterfeit, Nookie, Nobody Like You (cowritten by Jonathon Davis of Korn) and N 2 Gether Now (with Method Man). All those tracks are from their first two albums. Then along came a spider, feeding us helpless flies a chocolate starfish and washing it down with hot dog flavoured water. Half this album was trash. Durst is as much a business man now as a musician. If he focussed on one, I would wager he could be pretty good at it. As it is, he's only so-so in the music department, and his other work I'm not informed enough to comment on.
Seriously, though, a lot of fans are too hung up on Borland's absence. It's not like he was a Hendrix or Santana or anything. He was a good guitarist, yes, but I still feel the band's main strengths lie in Durst and DJ Lethal.
