I’m writing to let you know that I found a column about marriage very sexist and extremely offensive (“Women should think twice about marriage,” SN 10/16). I respect one’s decision on whether to get married, but I cannot agree with the way in which writer Jessi Phillips presented hers.

Limp Bizkit Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (Flip/Interscope Records) “Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water” may sound like some freak show full of little green aliens, but it’s Limp Bizkit’s highly anticipated third album. “Significant Other,” Bizkit’s second album, solidified the band as a focal point in the rock/rap movement, and “Chocolate Starfish” continues that trend. Following the TRL success of “N 2 Gether Now,” Durst and Method Man join forces again on “Rollin’ (Urban Assault Vehicle).” This time fellow rap superstars Redman and DMX join the duo. “Rollin’” appears twice on the album - once as the rap collaboration (Urban Assault Vehicle) and earlier with a heavy metal beat good enough to please any rock purist (Air Raid Vehicle). The album as a whole is more like the group’s first album, “Three Dollar Bill Y’all,” in the aspect that it carries more of a hard rock beat throughout. The track “Livin’ It Up” explains the band has no interest in stepping out of the spotlight and takes another shot at Christina Aguilera. The album also includes “Take a Look Around” from the “Mission: Impossible II” soundtrack and “Getcha Groove On,” the duet with Xzibit. After “Three Dollar Bill Y’all,” critics questioned Limp Bizkit’s durability, but the success of “Significant Other” took the band to the level of music icons.
