Data Insight

Following the band's convention, all lyrics on Gold Cobra were written by Fred Durst and all music was composed by Limp Bizkit, meaning Durst, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, John Otto, and DJ Lethal. Fred Durst produced the album, with Dave Schiffman recording and mixing and Howie Weinberg mastering. Gold Cobra was the band's first studio album since 2003's Results May Vary and the first to feature the full original lineup since 2000's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, making it the reunion record. It leaned back into the unapologetic nu metal and rap rock the band built its name on rather than chasing new trends.

Gold Cobra is Limp Bizkit's sixth studio album, released June 28, 2011 on Flip/Interscope. Self-produced by Fred Durst, the album marked a commercial comeback after a long hiatus, debuting at number 14 on the Billboard 200 and signaling the reunited classic lineup's return.
