On our 3rd episode of Jukebox Zeroes we reviewed "Results May Vary", the 4th studio release from nu-metal icons Limp Bizkit. The record was notable not just for its troubled production, its overall low quality, and for its critical failure, but also for the position it occupied as the lowest rated album on the entirety of review aggregate site Metacritic.

That is until 2006, when an even lower-rated album was released.

"Playing With Fire" was such an album, the lone full-length release from Kevin Federline, a professional dancer and paparazzi target who for a brief period of time was married to pop music icon Britney Spears. Federline was eager to escape the media stigma of being nothing more than "Britney's gold-digging husband", and "Playing With Fire" was his attempt to cement himself as a legitimate musical artist. But between Federline's inept rapping and lyric-writing abilities, and the negative press narrative that had been firmly implanted, "Playing With Fire" was an abysmal critical and commerical failure, and is to this day the worst reviewed album on Metacritic, with a pathetic 15/100 score.

On this new episode of Jukebox Zeroes, Lilz and Patrick are joined by friends both old and new: returning guest Aimee Hauthaway, and new guest Todd Wilcox. Together they decide for themselves whether the unanimous criticism of "Playing With Fire" was justly deserved, if K-Fed simply got a raw deal, and ponder the mystery of the elusive Pancake Man.
