## Content

[edit]

Collected contains material from the band's albums Three Dollar Bill, Yall$, Significant Other, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, Results May Vary and The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1). The compilation was released in Europe by Spectrum Music, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group.[1]

## Music and lyrics

[edit]

The music of Collected has predominantly been described as nu metal[2] and is noted for "kinetic, frenzied energy".[3] On this compilation, DJ Lethal functions as a sound designer for the band, shaping their sound. According to Lethal, "I try and bring new sounds, not just the regular chirping scratching sounds. [...] It's all different stuff that you haven't heard before. I'm trying to be like another guitar player."[4] Though the band is generally opposed to the use of solos, they allowed drummer John Otto to perform an extended solo in the middle of the song "Nobody Like You".[5]

Wes Borland's guitar playing on this compilation is experimental and nontraditional, and is noted for creative use of six and seven-string guitars.[6] The songs from Three Dollar Bill, Yall$ feature him playing without a guitar pick, performing with two hands, one playing melodic notes, and the other playing chord progressions.[4] His guitar playing on this album also makes use of octave shapes, and choppy, eighth-note rhythms, sometimes accompanied by muting his strings with his left hand, creating a percussive sound.[7] Borland's guitar playing also has unevenly accented syncopated sixteenth notes to create a disorienting effect, and hypnotic, droning licks.[7] The song "Stuck" uses a sustain pedal in the first bar, and muted riffs in the second bar.[7]

Durst's lyrics are often profane, scatological or angry.[8] Much of Durst's lyrical inspiration came from growing up and his personal life.[4] His breakup with her inspired the Significant Other songs "Nookie" and "Re-Arranged".[9]
