✦✧✧✧ What we once loved so much about Bizkit, back at the height of their powers, was how deftly they fused metal and rap, with equal deft contributions from all members of the band. This, the Jacksonville quintet’s sixth studio album, is something else: a hip-hop-centric collection of songs from all over the musical map, except there’s virtually no metal here at all. There’s some punkish music, and even an INXS cover that doesn’t do it for me, but the old fire is conspicuously absent. Also, the album is 32 minutes, and still feels a bit long.
