Still Limp, but now with 20% more hopelessness.
So Wes Borland, after having left Limp Biskit almost 4 years ago is back with LP after his solo career panned out to....well, mostly nothing. Sad really, as he is a decent guitarist and capable of doing some inventive things. His post LP work was uneven, but one had hoped he would eventually go the Mike Patton route with it (there were hints) and make a nice niche for himself.
Now he's back with that useless group of wash-outs, Fred Durst (I use the plural because Durst is such a hack he actually qualifies as a group of talentless losers), oh, and the other 3 guys in LP.
The news was announced on their site The Armpit dot net (appropriate since 90% of their catalog stinks) and here. One of the more memorable quotes: "...you can assume that the shit we are writing now is fucking powerful and very emotionally laced with reality." Well, that's good to know. It will be 'laced' with reality. Actual reality involves realizing Durst can't sing or rap for a squirt of rat piss, so hopefully that means most of the next album will be instrumental, ergo making it partially listenable.
Also this brilliant quip about their progress so far, "Completion isn't on the radar. We do not work that way. We are being driven at speed by our passion and any people or persons who cannot comprehend that will be left in the cold."
Which means if we are lucky LP will turn into another Guns'n'Roses and no album will ever see the light of day with maybe the exception of a lone track on a Arnold Shwartzenegger movie soundtrack and maybe a quickie appearance on an MTV special and then back to obscurity.

i was heartbroken to hear that Wes rejoined LB. You would hope that he might inject a small amount of talent into the group, but sadly they just bring him down to their level. The latest issue of revolver has quite an intresting letter from Ian Robinson on the matter.
