August 19, 2022 by Michael Kaye in Music, Renegade Jukebox

This is Part 1 of a 4-part journey through the first half of Limp Bizkit's discography, back when Nu-Metal was in its prime.

What’s going on, everyone? Welcome to Part 1 of a brand new artist retrospective! We begin with Three Dollar Bill, Y’all, Limp Bizkit’s 1997 debut, produced by Ross Robinson. How does it hold up? Better than you might think, but tune in to hear what myself and Nick thought about the record, and what exactly led to their massive success.



This is only the beginning, folks! Next time, we get to break stuff, from family values to Woodstock ‘99. But until then, thanks for tuning in!

Jul 16, 2025

You are absolutely WRONG about Silence In The Snow. Tonight, Nick and Mike cover what might just be the most contentious Trivium album. One mired by circumstance, member changes, and a changing metal scene from the New Wave of American heavy Metal, to the Octane Metalcore and pre-TikTok influencers telling you not to like this album. But actually how is the music on display? Well, listen and hear Nick & Mike defend this gem.

Is the album a shower or a grower? Or would we not see what they were going for on later albums? Listen and find out.
