History Music / GoldCobra

''Gold Cobra'' is the fifth album by Music/LimpBizkit and their return to form after [[NewSoundAlbum the very different-sounding]] ''Music/ResultsMayVary'' and ''Music/TheUnquestionableTruth''. Critics agreed, as ''Gold Cobra'' was their most acclaimed album since ''Music/SignificantOther''.

Wes Borland returned to the band after a brief turn as Music/MarilynManson's touring guitarist, and John Otto recorded with the band for the first time since ''Results May Vary'', having been absent on the ''Unquestionable Truth'' sessions.

Borland contributed a lot of his trademark weird guitar playing, providing riffs and arrangements that were traditionally unusual for NuMetal, and the band once again brought the "dumpster funk" that fans loved from the ''Significant Other'' era on tracks like "Gold Cobra" and "Shark Attack" (a kind of SequelSong to "Break Stuff"). This album showcases touches of elements from the sound of many of their past albums, recalling some of the more {{Ballad}}-y elements of ''Results'' on "Loser" and the thrashy punk rhythms of ''Unquestionable Truth'' on "90.2.10". One of the most praised songs on the album was "Walking Away", an AlternativeMetal song reminiscent of Music/{{Tool}} and Music/{{Slipknot}}'s more melodic songs.
