Limp Bizkit can be entertaining, but it doesn't really happen often. In their debut album, "Three Dollar Bill, Yall$" they offer up an easy-listening version of Rap/Rock, where the riffs and rhymes are more pleasant than challenging, and the lyrics, if given too much attention, disappoint in a big way. Some infractions are worse than others ("Sour" and "Leech" [which appropriately ends with the sounds of vomiting]).

The best thing I can say about this album is that you get a sense of the energy that these guys put into their music. The frantic intensity of their performances translates onto the album. If only the songs were good enough to back it up.
