Fred Durst has three words to describe "Crack Addict," the first single from Limp Bizkit's fourth studio album: "So f---ing heavy."

In a posting on the band's Web site, Durst said he's close to finishing vocals on the follow-up to 2000's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, which is four songs away from being completed.

While the band has yet to find a replacement for guitarist Wes Borland, who left the group in the fall of 2001 (see [article id="1449976"]"Limp Bizkit And Wes Borland Part Ways"[/article]), several musicians have joined Limp Bizkit in the studio, the latest being Ministry's Al Jourgensen.

"We're gonna tear some sh-- up!" Durst wrote of the collaboration.

Korn's Brian "Head" Welch, Helmet's Page Hamilton and Weezer's Rivers Cuomo have also played on the album, tentatively titled Less Is More and due April 1 (see [article id="1458694"]"Korn's Head, Weezer's Rivers Record For New Limp Bizkit Album"[/article]).

Rick Rubin is producing the project, which may include covers, though the Neptunes have also contributed material (see [article id="1459400"]"Neptunes' Pharrell Williams Goes Over 2003 To-Do List"[/article]).

Durst also used his latest posting to address reports that he and Britney Spears were in a studio together last week.

"I also know you've heard the rumors about Britney Spears. Well, a lot of you are wrong. I did not sing with her, OK?" he wrote, leaving open speculation about other methods of collaborating. "I really like her, and that's about all I should say. She's a sweet, amazing girl and I'm happy to know her right now. You are my family and you know you can trust me and my judgement!"

A Spears spokesperson would not say who the singer is working with on her next album but said the Britney follow-up is due in the fall.
