About the album

The album is notable for its being a little more hip hop-driven than the rest of the band's work. It also has virtually no hardcore punk elements, making for a quite different sound then their previous album Three Dollar Bill, Yall$ which featured rapcore songs. Significant Other debuted at #1, and sold over 634,000 copies in its first week. It features the singles "Nookie", "Rearranged", "N 2 Gether Now" and "Break Stuff". "N 2 Gether Now" features rapper Method Man, "Nobody Like You" contains guest vocals by Korn's Jonathan Davis and Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland, the demo for "Don't go Off Wandering" contained guest vocals by System of a Down's Serj Tankian. It was later removed in the final album version for unknown reasons, and "No Sex" features guest chorus vocals by Staind frontman Aaron Lewis. The majority of its songs are dedicated to the failure of the relationship between Fred Durst and his long-time girlfriend (i.e. the "significant other" of the title). The track "Trust" was dedicated to one of Fred's favorite performers from the 80's, Klaus Nomi. Significant Other was released in a "clean" version that censored out most profanity and violence, a lot different from their barely censored version of Three Dollar Bill, Yall$ which left in a lot of profanity and all violence. Strangely, on the song "Nobody Like You", censorship ceases about half-way through the track leaving the latter half with some uncensored moments of profanity. Other than this, the album is quite tightly censored.
