Lead

• The album sees the band... --> The album saw the band...
• The second paragraph is one sentence long. Cut it off after "Limp Bizkit", remove the bands the collaborators are from, and combine the sentences with the first paragraph.
• ...in which violence erupted... --> ...where violence erupted

Production

• Put quotes around "Korn ripoff".
• Unlink Terry Date.
• Add 'guitarist' before Wes Borland.
• ...take a break after the tour --> ...take a break after it.

Music and lyrics

• No need for the border around the music sample.
• Hip-hop origins? Was Limp Bizkit originally hip-hop?
• Unlink Method Man.
• ...also recorded with Eminem Recorded what?
• Unlink Jonathan Davis, Scott Weiland, and Aaron Lewis.
• ...and Durst's mother appeared in an interlude. Put in a separate sentence.
• Again, no need for the border around the music sample.
• In the sample caption, remove "from their second album Significant Other, which is excerpted here."
• The last paragraph's sentences don't really have much connection with each other. Consider rewriting them.
• Claypool states... --> Claypool stated...

Release and reception

• Remove the info about the music videos, put it in the lead, or combine it with the prior section. It doesn't belong in a "reception" section.
• Unlink Family Values Tour and Woodstock 1999.
• No info about the total sales of the album?
• Why is the controversy section in the release section?
• ...awarded the album three and a half out of five stars. Did they say anything about the album?
• Again, what did Martin Charles Strong say about the album?

• • Rolling Stone and Strong's book talk about the band in a biographical sense, not in relation to their albums. --WTF (talk) 13:50, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
    • Ah, okay. What a pro (talk, contribs) is on fire. 09:04, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Track listing and Personnel sections

All good.

Charts

• Cite all of the chart positions.
• Add chart positions for the album worldwide.
• Was the album certified gold anywhere? If so, add it here.
• You focus too much on the Billboard charts here. Add more worldwide charts, drop some of the Billboard ones.

If these problems are addressed in 10 days, I will pass the article. All concerns have been addressed. I am passing the article. What a pro (talk, contribs) is on fire. 11:04, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
