Production and content

Greatest Hitz was announced for release as early as 2001.[1] While recording the album Results May Vary and the EP The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1), the band continued to work on the compilation.[2][3] A companion DVD, Greatest Videoz, was also released.

Greatest Hitz contains material from the band's albums Three Dollar Bill, Y'all (1997), Significant Other (1999), Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000) and Results May Vary (2003), as well as previously unreleased tracks and a new song entitled "Home Sweet Home/Bittersweet Symphony", a medley of "Home Sweet Home" by Mötley Crüe and "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve.[4][5]

Reception

Template:Music ratings

Greatest Hitz peaked at No. 47 on the Billboard 200.[6] AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine said, "None of [Greatest Hitz] has aged well – as a matter of fact, it's aged incredibly quickly, sounding older than alt-rock hits from the mid-'90s – but that's almost beside the point, because this does its job well, and listeners who want to have some Limp Bizkit in their collection will find this to provide them with more of what they want than any other Bizkit dizc."[5] In The Essential Rock Discography, Martin Charles Strong gave the compilation a 7 out of 10 rating.[4]
