Bizkit Goes Limp

12/28/05
. (Audio Aggression) In its first week out, Limp Bizkit's latest release back in May, "The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) (a collection of seven songs with a full-length album's price tag) sold 37,000 copies, according to SoundScan, a dismal showing compared to first-week totals of "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" (1,055,000), "Significant Other" (635,000) and "Results May Vary" (325,000).

So what happened? Did Limp's label give up on them? It's not an inconceivable thought in an industry known for being cutthroat. Fred Durst explained below to MTV.com"

"I'm the main one in the band right now trying to go anti-everything," he said. "I feel like radio and television are selling so much sh-- these days and that sh-- is not who I want to be," he continued, quoting almost word-for-word the opening lines to "The Channel," the fifth track on the latest album. "I don't even care if you get it; it's clear that we're not a part of this, and I don't even want to be a part of it. 'Cause I was a part of it, and getting your intentions out and having it be clear and seeing the heart in it, that's not what it's about in that field."[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
