Limp Bizkit New Old Songs (2014 Review) Part 2
Some days later than expected. I recently lost my glasses. I thought it was smart to climb up a tree, which my sister made look easier than it really was. Hell she flipped, slid and ran down the three 3 times, showing me how easy it was... For her. I tossed her my glasses, cause I figured I'd rather not see where I fall if that happens. Long story short, it was nearly 45 minutes later and I was finally down and my glasses were gone. I didn't care at the time, my prescription is already over due and I got an energy drink out of the ordeal.

Picking up at "My Way" remixed by DJ Lethal. One of the better remixes on this CD altogether. The additional sounds added and the change of tone in the guitar add a subtle difference that makes it worth while to get ll the way through. Now is it a barn burner of a track? Not at all, but it's damn good and adds some nostalgia for me. The flute samples that play remind me of Donkey Kong soundtrack on N64. A game that I used to lay for hours on end with my cousin, RIP my homie. I will see yo again some day.
0-5 I give this track a 4.
"Nookie" as remixed by Butch Vig - Now I have to admit this song starts off killer if you're a Fatboy Slim fan or just a fan of that type of music in general. I dig it, yet I do admit that some of the song is just too far gone and different from the original that it almost makes it hard to like yet you still can't help but listen and try to sing along (since there are additional vocals thrown in there). It's just fun, not matter how much you try to hate it, you just can't.
0-5 I give this one hot track a 4.5 and I can't go any lower.
"Counterfeit" Lethal Overdose remix as done by Sir DJ Lethal. Features some guitar samples from Orgy frontman Jay Gordon and it's a track that's been a classic long before this album came out. I don't know where I had heard it from before, I just know that I ALWAYS loved it - even if not more than the original which has Wes Borland on Guitar.
0-5 I give this one a Heavy 5.
13-Rollin [DJ Monk -Vs- The Track Mack Remix] - This one starts off with sounds that hear in the original song just brought out more prominently and then some bassy-sound is heard coming in more and more in the background, all the while over an obnoxious drum sample. The song is very repetitive as fuck. As fun of a song as it is, I can't for the life of me get through the entire song to this very day, as it is I've just now turned it off. I have no idea if the ending of the song is amazing or not. It's that bad, but it's not suppose t be good I guess.
0-5 This one lands flush on the 1 and I can't imagine it getting any higher.
The remainder of the album is "My Way" remixes, first up is a remix of 'My Way' by DJ Premier and I think he does an excellent job with the track. Ultimately keeping it in the same vein as the original while adding in enough subtle differences that every time you hear it you say 'Oh I know where he got that from." And smile like a kid in school who's just heard a dirty joke for the first time and you're pretending to know what it means... And you don't. lol
0-5 this one get's a 4.5
William Orbit remix of My Way - Awesome. Can't get into detail. It's just an amazing treatment to the track and changes the feel of the song altogether. Whereas the other remixes, only changed minor elements and kept the song with the same mood, this one takes the song and makes it feel more like Synth Rock Anger Management session.
0-5 this motherfucker is a 6. LOL
"My Way [Pistols' Dancehall Dub]" - This song is much like the Rollin remix I can't sit through. So I wont even start this track up.
0-5 a huge fat ZERO!
