6	''Significant Other'' is the second album by the American {{nu metal}} band Music/LimpBizkit, released on June 22, 1999 and serving as the band's breakthrough into the mainstream.
7
8	The album showed a lyrical evolution from their debut album ''Music/ThreeDollarBillYall'', downplaying the themes of angst and heartbreak and playing up more of a [[LighterAndSofter lighter, party-oriented atmosphere]], combined with music that incorporated more influences from {{funk metal}} and [[HipHop hip-hop]].
9
10	Not only did the band solidify the sound that would be most associated with the band through this album, it also introduced the production style that would carry over to their next album ''Music/ChocolateStarfishAndTheHotDogFlavoredWater'', with ambient interludes by DJ Lethal, extended [[HiddenTrack hidden skits]] and [[BookEnds bookending]] intro/outro tracks designed exclusively to MindScrew the listeners -- not to mention the [[GuestStar guest stars]].
11
12	During the band's live performance at Woodstock 1999, violence erupted during the song "Break Stuff", and the ensuing mass controversy and blame directed towards the band became an albatross for their reputation. Despite this, ''Significant Other'' received high commercial sales, and critical reception was also favorable, with many responding well to its unique sound and the band's performance, which was considered to be an improvement over the band's debut. The album has sold at least 16 million copies worldwide.

33	!!Tropes:
34
35	* BreakupSong: Many songs from ''Significant Other'' are shots to Durst's ex-girlfriend. On the other hand, there also are songs where Durst takes shots at ''himself'' about how he probably played an important role in the end of his relationship, particularly "Nookie".
36	* CurseCutShort: "Nookie"'s infamous "So you can take that cookie and [[AssShove stick it up your (yeah!)]]"
37	* GuestStar:
38	** [[Music/{{Korn}} Jonathan Davis]] and [[Music/StoneTemplePilots Scott Weiland]] on "Nobody Like You"
39	** [[Music/WuTangClan MethodMan]] on "N 2 Gether Now"
40	** Music/{{Staind}}'s Aaron Lewis on "No Sex"
41	** [[Music/{{Primus}} Les Claypool]] on "The Mind of Les"
42	* HiddenTrack: There are multiple hidden tracks and skits throughout the album, all of which are listed above.
43	* ListingCities: "Show Me What You Got".
44	* OurProductSucks: [[SelfDeprecation You wanted the worst... you got the worst.]] The one... the only... Limp Bizkit. You wanted the best? [[TakeThat Go get the fuckin']] Music/BackstreetBoys [[TakeThat CD!]]
45	** During the tour to promote this album, Fred Durst emerged from a giant toilet and announced that he was "a piece of shit", and so was his band.
46	* OutOfGenreExperience: "N 2 Gether Now", a HipHop song with beats by Music/GangStarr's DJ Premier and guest verses by Method Man. The first mix of this song, from the pre-release edition of the album (sometimes called "Rough"), actually featured guitar riffs in the mix, but the final version released on the album had a different track by Premier.
47	** "A Lesson Learned," a weird psychedelic/ambient experiment.
48	** The pre-release version of "The Mind of Les" featured a [[{{Jazz}} Lounge Jazz]] track as Claypool's backing.
49	* ShoutOut: "Show Me What You Got" has shout-outs to [[Music/{{Eminem}} Slim Shady]] and [[Music/{{Primus}} Les Claypool]].
50	** ShoutOut/ToShakespeare: In "Rearranged", Fred sings, "Life is overwhelming, / Heavy is the head that wears the crown", which is a reference to the title character's quote in ''Theatre/HenryIVPart2'': "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown" (III, i).
51	* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "A Lesson Learned."
