IT'S been more than three years since Bizkit's last and very successful album and what do Limp fans get at the end - varying results.

After pulling out of headlining Download Festival this year the Bizkit boys have gone down in many UK skater rock fan's estimation. The official reason Limp pulled out was: 'because we want to spend more time on the album'.

But after listening it seems no better than Chocolate Starfish. Don't get me wrong when Bizkit do an LP it's far from your conventional eight-track rock album with every song nine minutes long.

No, what you get this time around is 17 decent length tracks - none of which are classics - and a bonus DVD.

But that's the least I'd expect after three years in the making.

There has been a transition of sorts among the band since the departure of the body painted lead guitarist Wes Borland and the introduction of new axe wielder Mike Smith, formerly of Snot.

And by all accounts Smith is a worthy replacement which you can hear for yourself on Phenomenon.

Another good track is Red Light - Green Light with Snoop Dogg adding his lyrical talent to the album.
