3	''Gold Cobra'' is the fifth album by American {{nu metal}} band Music/LimpBizkit, released on June 28, 2011. The album is considered by many to be 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''.

5	Prior to the album's production, guitarist 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").

7	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.

25	----
26	!!Tropes:
27	* AutoTune: Used on "Autotunage", in a very tongue-in-cheek way.
28	* AlbumTitleDrop: ''Holdin' the gold, it's so golden, y'all, Golden Cobra''
29	* BilingualBonus: The interlude after "Get A Life".
30	* CallBack: The first line in "Shark Attack": ''[[Music/SignificantOther Another one of those days...]]''
31	** ''[[Music/ResultsMayVary Eat you alive]], goddamn punk, spit this fire to the Bizkit funk''
32	* DramaticGunCock: "Shotgun", as the title suggests, incorporates the sound of a shotgun being pumped and fired into its chorus and outro. The lyrics say that when you hear that sound, "you need to run" and that "everybody jumps at the sound of the shotgun".
33	* OutOfGenreExperience: "Douche Bag". Not the whole song, just the random {{Jazz}} number at the end.
34	* SequelSong: "Shark Attack" is a spiritual successor to "Break Stuff"
35	* ShoutOut: The lyrics of "90.2.10" describe a pool party that's 90% hot women and 10% dudes, and the dudes named include Paul Wall and members of Music/{{Slipknot}} and Music/{{Korn}}.
36	** ''While you're gettin' [[Music/RobZombie robbed like a Zombie]]''
37	** ''Feelin' Music/{{Korn}}, goin' Blind...''
38	** ''We still [[Music/ReignInBlood rain the blood]] in the club like Music/{{Slayer}} flip it up like Limp Bizkit''
39	* StepUpToTheMicrophone: ''Inverted''; during live performances of "Shotgun," Fred Durst plays the closing guitar solo.
