Album
Significant Other
Significant Other is the second studio album by American nu metal band Limp Bizkit, released in June 1999 on Flip Records. It follows their 1997 debut, Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$, and sees them widening their approach, mixing metal and hip-hop influences with a more melodic feel and less of the hardcore punk edge that marked the first record.
It proved a big commercial step up, reaching number one on the US Billboard 200 and selling at least 16 million copies worldwide. Critics were generally positive, hearing a distinctive sound and a band that had improved on its predecessor. The album earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album, while lead single "Nookie" was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance. It is a good place to hear where rap rock stood at the turn of the millennium.
