Did you know that Limp Bizkit will release a new album in 2021? Your first since 2012’s GOLD COBRA? No? We neither. And this wasn’t the decade-announced STAMPEDE OF THE DISCO ELEPHANTS, but another new record with the crisp and self-deprecating title STILL STUCKS.
The album was released digitally on October 31, 2021, there are still no physical versions. The lead single “Dad Vibes” was released a month earlier. Only now did she get a music video too.
In true TikTok fashion, the two-and-a-half-minute portrait-format edited clip sees Fred Durst, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, John Otto and DJ Lethal dance through a garden and across tennis courts dressed as dads. Singer Durst looks like a cross between Phil Dunphy from “Modern Family” and the Beastie Boys in the “Sabotage” video. Steel Panther members Michael Starr and Stix Zadinia make cameo appearances.
The older ones among you know: At the turn of the millennium, Limp Bizkit belonged to the spearhead of the then new genre of Nu Metal. The band, which was formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1994, celebrated their breakthrough with their third album SIGNIFICANT OTHER and the singles “Nookie” and “Break Stuff”. Two more albums followed within four years. Then eight years passed until GOLD COBRA (including a breakup from 2006-2009), then ten years until STILL SUCKS. In the meantime and during various image changes, Fred Durst hired himself out as an actor and director. His most recent film, the horror thriller THE FANATIC starring John Travolta, was released in 2019.
