SIGNIFICANT OTHER is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Additional personnel includes: Method Man, Les Claypool, Matt Pinfield, Anita Durst, Mathematics (vocals); Scott Borland (keyboards); Jonathan Davis, Aaron Lewis (background vocals).
SIGNIFICANT OTHER was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. "Nookie" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.
Smashing the sophomore jinx, Limp Bizkit puts together a screaming second album in SIGNIFICANT OTHER. The band's songwriting has matured, and the experience of touring is evident in the production. Singer Fred Durst is a frontman for the next millennium, combining hardcore metal with the slickness of hiphop. Limp Bizkit is backed by the turntable skills of House Of Pain's DJ Lethal. You can hear the hiphop influences in almost every track--from the lead single, "Nookie," to the DJ Premier-produced "N 2 Gether Now." Other highlights include "Break Stuff," "Just Like This," and "I'm Broke." Be sure to check out the Durst-directed video for "Nookie," as it shows just how multi-talented Limp Bizkit really is.
Recorded at NRG Recording Services, North Hollywood, California.
Limp Bizkit: Fred Durst (vocals); Wes Borland (guitar); Sam Rivers (bass); John Otto (drums); DJ Lethal (turntables).
Producers: Limp Bizkit, Scott Weiland, Terry Date, D.J. Premier.
Enhanced CDRolling Stone (7/8-22, pp.143-144) - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5) - "...at this point, hating them seems a little disingenuous. They're actually (gulp) good."
Entertainment Weekly (6/18/99, pp.74-75) - "...It takes it cues from hardcore hip-hop...grunge...the post-80's metal of Metallica, and, to a lesser degree, electronica....But overall, SIGNIFICANT OTHER isn't simply modern rock; it's postmodern rock..." - Rating: B
CMJ (6/28/99, p.5) - "...[SIGNIFICANT OTHER] has an intensity that never lets up, surpassing the musical scope of its predecessor with rap-core gems such as "Nookie" and the blunted hip-hop of..."N 2 Gether Now"....The unholy matrimony of metal and rap celebrates another victory...superb..."

 Best of Rap/Rock
This CD hands down put Limp Bizkit on the map. This CD is a classic, you can listen to it from begining to end. And by the way who the hell ever said limp bizkit was metal?

 It's good.
I love how people always write 6 lines of text thinking they are "dropping knowledge" on us or something. I know what metal is and I know what hip hop is, I like both. But anyway this is a good album, just to chill to it isn't fantastic nor is it complete garbage.
Get it if you want something that is just good to listen to.

The Best album of all time!!!
This album not only got me out of the lame @$$ overhyped bubblegum pop music of that era (1996-2000), but it introduced me to a whole new world: that of which is hard hitting heavy hard world of rock n' roll. This album has balls. No other way to describe it. From the intro leading into "Just Like This" to the hilarious yet meaningful "Nookie" , to the notorious "Break Stuff", this album has it all. Limp Bizkit is not only my favorite band, but has released an album that whether you loved it or hated it, will be in the hearts of all heavy music fans forever. The songs are so emotional, heavy, and deep. The riffs and guitar and bass work on this album were amazing. The drumming is compelling, and the sampling is some of the best sampling ever made. My opinion: This album is worth every penny. Pick it up and add it to your CD album collection today.

Look: we're talking about metal here. Metal is supposed te be rough and technically really good. Metal isn't meant to be hiphop. I know a lot of people (A LOT) who already listen to metal very long; and they all HATE limp bizkit. Musically; limp bizkit is nothing. Theu have NO talent. Listen to any other metal band and it's better. Limp Bizkit is broadcasted on MTV and then they say it's rock, so little 12 year old kids who want to be cool can put on a Limp Bizkit shirt and pretent to be alternative. NO WAY!!!
Limp Bizkit is as mainstream as Britney Spears, and even less talented
If you think Wes Borland is a good guitar player. NOT
Listen to Children of Bodom if you want to hear guitars. Limp Bizkit is more hiphop then Metal. Metal isn't meant to be commercial; and it's NEVER meant to be mixed up with hiphop.
If you want to hear good nu-metal; check out Korn, Slipknot, Ill Nino, Sepultura or System of a Down.
If you ARE a Limp Bizkit fan, try listening to Ill Nino. There isn't that much difference, with the exception that Ill NINO is music; and Limp Bizkit is not.
And Limp Bizkit is not cool and alto's don't like you if you wear a Limp Bizkit shirt.
Go to a Slipknot concert in a Limp Bizkit shirt and you'll be beaten up.
If you just listen to Limp Bizkit because you think it's heavy; listen to Slipknot then you don't have to pretent to be cool because you listen to Metal; then you ARE cool.
A personal hint of mine:
check out Melodic Gothenburg Death Metal bands; like In Flames; Arch Enemy; Children of Bodom or Soilwork; or check out Marilyn Manson. THAT'S MUSIC!!!
