About this album
Where they were
Released in 2005, 'Greatest Hitz' came during Limp Bizkit's commercial peak, following their blockbuster albums 'Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water' and 'Significant Other'. At this point, the band was consolidating their legacy while navigating a shift in musical trends as nu metal began to decline in popularity.
Why it matters
This compilation album encapsulates Limp Bizkit's impact on the early 2000s music scene, featuring chart-topping hits like 'Rollin'' and 'My Way', both of which reached high positions on Billboard charts. The album's release also marked a significant moment of nostalgia for fans, representing a culmination of the band's contributions to nu metal before the genre's mainstream fade.
Essential tracks
- "Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle)" — 'Rollin'' is an anthem of defiance, showcasing the band's signature sound with its infectious chorus and energetic beat that became synonymous with early 2000s youth culture.
- "Faith" — Their cover of George Michael's 'Faith' redefined the original with a heavy twist, illustrating Limp Bizkit's unique ability to merge rap and rock across generations.
- "Nookie" — 'Nookie' stands out for its raw exploration of heartbreak and rebellion, capturing the angst of a generation grappling with personal and societal issues.
- "Break Stuff" — 'Break Stuff' is a quintessential party anthem that channels frustration into a rallying cry, making it a staple at live shows and gatherings.
