Oh yes I can.

Bands need to grow or take time off and do something else, in my opinion.
You can't keep churning out the same stuff over and over- otherwise it stops being art and start to resembles cookie cutter music.
Limp Bizkit are the same.

I think of them as the "Def Leppard" of alternative music- but maybe that is because I live in New Jersey and I hear it blaring out of every 20-something-driving-a-pickup's stereo.
You know, the guys in Harley Davidson t-shirts, who don't ride.

I didn't mind the track "Animal" but everything else sounds too similar.
