Significant Other by Limp Bizkit
Significant Other is an album by Limp Bizkit, released in 1999. 5 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 124 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Nookie”, on 42 lists and voted number one twice.
Significant Other, the second album from nu metal crew Limp Bizkit, came out on June 22, 1999, through Flip and Interscope, with Terry Date producing. The band took the sound of their debut, Three Dollar Bill, Y'all, and pushed it further in both directions: heavier on the metal, deeper into hip-hop, with more melody and less of the old hardcore punk spit.
Fred Durst barks and taunts up front, Wes Borland's guitar grinds and squeals, Sam Rivers lays down the bass and backing vocals, John Otto hits like a jackhammer, and DJ Lethal scratches and samples all over the top. "Nookie" is the sneering lead single, "Break Stuff" is a pure blast of aggression, "Re-Arranged" slows things to a brooding crawl, and "Nobody Like You" and "Just Like This" keep the pit churning.
It went all the way to number one on the Billboard 200 and has sold at least 16 million copies worldwide. Critics were mostly kind, hearing a step up from the debut, and the 42nd Grammys nominated it for Best Rock Album and "Nookie" for Best Hard Rock Performance.
