The first part of the title is a scatological reference to the appearance of the human anus (Chocolate Starfish). However, Hot Dog Flavored Water is an inside joke started by Wes Borland at a truckstop while the band was on tour, where Borland noticed a jar of pickled eggs, and made a joke about doing the same thing with hot dogs[citation needed]. He took it further when he suggested they should bottle the water and sell it, hence "hot dog flavored water".
Durst himself refers to the album name in both "Livin' It Up", where he declares that "The chocolate starfish is my man Fred Durst," (Wes Borland has stated in an interview when questioned on the naming of the album that Chocolate Starfish is a "weird nickname Fred has for himself"[cite this quote]) and "Hot Dog", where he tells his detractors to "Kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish."
The album features several high-profile guests, including Xzibit on "Getcha Groove On", Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland on "Hold On", and Redman, DMX and Method Man, including production by Swizz Beats on "Rollin' (Urban Assault Vehicle)", which is a remix of "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)". Actor Ben Stiller appears in the hidden track of "Outro".
The song "Hot Dog" is notorious for featuring the word "fuck" 48 times. Durst makes a reference to the number of "fucks" in the song: "If I say 'fuck' two more times, that's 46 'fucks' in this fucked up rhyme." The chorus parodies the Nine Inch Nails songs "Closer", "The Perfect Drug" and "Burn". Durst said he was a big fan of Nine Inch Nails, who inspired his music, although Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor had made negative remarks about Durst during that period. Reviewers have often interpreted Durst's lyrics in "Hot Dog" as an insult to Reznor.
"Livin' It Up" samples "Life in the Fast Lane" by the American rock band The Eagles.
The video for "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" was directed by Fred Durst at the World Trade Center in late 2000. The video won the award for best rock video at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards.
On Metacritic, the album received "mixed or average reviews" from critics based on an aggregate score of 49/100 from twelve reviews. As a reference point, it has the same score as 'Guilt' by Mims, ranked 100 on Metacritic's list of lowest ranked albums. It is featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, yet also appears in Q magazine's "50 Worst Albums of All Time". Cracked.com lists it as the worst album title of all time. In August 2009, Kerrang! anointed it the 30th best album of the 21st century.
Rolling Stone (1/4/01, p.113) - Included in Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2000" - "Durst is more fun than a barrel of Yosemite Sams as he explores his 2 favorite topics: the world and why it sucks....the band is fun, bashing out loud, linear angst-metal heavy on the spaced-out guitar clang."
Spin (1/01, pp.111-2) - 7 out of 10 - "The sound is now clearer...the rapping likewise....this is a slicker, grander record than Significant Other....the album definately [sic] qualifies as an improvement."
Q magazine (12/00, p.124) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Durst's strength is in gonzo bluster....great knockaround rock songs."
CMJ (11/13/00, p.24) - "Damn if the Bizkit doesn't make you wanna shake your rump....Durst stirs up simmering pits of anger....Wes Borland's low-end and DJ Lethal's scratching deftly decorate the tracks."
Melody Maker (10/24/00, p.58) - 4.5 stars out of 5 - "On this mighty album, Durst's in full, and frankly, awesome, flow....Super, smashing, great....upping the ante on every wannabe mofo who thinks he's 'intense'."
