Blondie and The Clash were major influences. Run-D.M.C. arguably created it. The Beastie Boys and Public Enemy made it cool. Rage Against the Machine, Faith No More and the Chilli Peppers made it huge. KoRn perfected it. Linkin Park killed it. Fast forward a decade. Lil Wayne takes it back. That’s right. We’re talking about rap-rock. And, like a phoenix from the ashes, emerging from a self described “8 year hiatus,” so is Limp “MotherfuckingLazarus” Bizkit! According to Fred Durst, “We decided we were more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we were with each other.” On their new album, ‘Gold Cobra,’ “It’s not like we, all of a sudden, grew up and started making smarter music. It’s definitely a fun, party kind of vibe. It’s a little bit like the old stuff, but with a little bit of maybe a Daft Punk vibe thrown in on some of it. There’s big, huge riffs and hopefully catchy lyrics.”   Tilt your head back, open your mouth and close your eyes, people… Because they’ll be dropping the new album all over your faces in the fall.  Tracks after the jump.  - B
