2.0 out of 5 stars A Bit of a disappointment, September 24, 2003

By 

Shawn Branchcomb - See all my reviews

This review is from: Results May Vary (Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)

First of all, I must say that I'm not one of those elitist underground metal snobs who bash nu-metal. Sure I love the underground stuff. But, I also love many nu-metal bands. I once thought Limp Bizkit was awesome. I loved Wes Borland's interesting guitar style, Fred Durst's middle-finger-at-the-world attitude. I enjoyed the first two albums. When "Chocolate Starfish" came out I unquestioningly snatched it up. But except for a few good songs, it was a disappointment. The heaviness was reined in and it definitely seemed to be pandering to radio and eMpTV. No wonder Borland left. He was having less to do. After the guitarist search publicity stunt/fiasco and that aweful, AWEFUL song they released to radio this Spring, I was ready to declare them gone. Then, they got a guitarist and put out "Eat Me Alive," which rocks, and I was ready to give them another chance. I had heard somewhere that the new album was supposed to be really agressive. YAYYY!!!
But, then I listened to "Results May Vary." First, the positives (yes, there are positives). Durst's lyrics at times are more thoughtful, even introspective. He talks about his past more. Sure there's all the prerequisite chest-beating bragadoccio, too. On the heavy songs, the new guitarist delivers on the riffage, and the rhythm section always delivers. I also liked the Snoop Dogg cameo.
Unfortunately, this is not the roaring comeback I was hoping for. Only about three or four songs are full on rockers. Many songs lapse into dreary Staind-like crooning. There are just too many of these songs on the album. They got this good new guitarist, and they barely use him. Then, it seems like Durst can't come up with any new verse cadences. Much of Fred's rapping sounds like older songs, I just wanna tell him, "Dude come up with some new flows for your rhymes!" Finally, That cover of The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes:" first the cheesy samples, them they cut out the hard rock part of the song. I was totally looking forward to hearing how they were going to do that part, and they cut it! Yuck!
Whoever said that this was going to be an aggresive album lied to all of us. That is why I will probably sell this CD soon. I am not impressed.

At least Wes Borland (probably the only one from Limp Bizkit that had any talent to begin with) had some sense when he ditched Limp Bizkit. "Results May Vary" finds this pretender band doing less of the rap rock thing that helped propel them to platinum plus status and more of a sensitive, so called "hard rock" that seems to be the current way for bands to find success today. Witness "Behind Blue Eyes" which features an acoustic guitar backing Fred "Yes, I'm still alive and more annoying than ever" Durst attempting to put some actual emotion into this stuff that they, and their few remaining fans, call music. Whichever way you cut it though, "Results May Vary" is yet another album to toss on the scrap heap. You want hard rock with real emotion, soul, and heart? Go listen to Faith No More, Biohazard, Corrosion of Conformity, Down, Audioslave, or Black Label Society, and save yourself some brain cells.

3.0 out of 5 stars Props to experimentation, but fails to please..., September 27, 2003

I'm a metal fan.

With that said, I don't know what to think of it. Either this could be some of their best work in a long time - or an album that's not even worth listening to.

Everyone would know of Limp Bizkit, I suppose. After all, we are talking about the band that instigated a riot at Woodstock 99 with their song "Break Stuff." The moment the song began, fans started to completely trash the ground around them, burning nearby towers and causing a huge mess for security - a huge mess, in fact, that the next few bands (Rage Against The Machine and Metallica) would have been forced to cancel their band.

It's been three years since their last release, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (retarded name for an album, BTW). Wes Borland offcially left the band, leaving the band to question their own future. Fred Durst also has his share of problems, trying to exactly figure out who the right woman is for him. Meanwhile, the other three band members (DJ Lethal, John Otto, Sam Rivers) have also undergoed through some tough times as well.

However, a new guitarist has entered the ranks of Limp Bizkit - former SNOT guitarist, Mike Smith. With a new energy and new attitude surrounding their presence, Limp Bizkit set off to create their fourth official album, Results May Vary.

What was expected to be an album filled with rage and anger (in a sense, it does) turns out to be an album that is filled with soft and quiet moments. A few songs incorporate some trademark elements that made them successful (Fred's screaming and rap, the hard, rocking riffs, John Otto's beats), but the rest yield to music that surrenders itself to the commerical side of the music business.

Lyrically, it's unfortunate to note that not that many songs can be related, unless if you are currently in the situation at this very moment. Fred Durst takes his voice to a new level, showing a completely new side of himself that hasn't been witnessed in past albums, as he sings about personal topics that he's been dealing with for the last three years. What topics, you ask? The loss of a few relationships (Most notably, Britney Spears), his past, and being alone is just a few subjects the vocalists touches on. What completely surprised me is that he didn't scream as much - he eschewed screaming for singing, which definitely gives him new range and allows him to experiment with his vocals.

Musically, expect to hear some hard riffs pumping out of the speakers, but mostly soft notes being played from acoustic guitars. The drums are given a laid-back feel, allowing the listener to get with the flow of the music easier (instead of headbanging 24/7). The bass guitar also aids the band in introducing the rhythm and flow of the songs as well. However, one question stands tall above the rest - whatever happened to the rage and anger? Perhaps trying something new is a strategy that Fred Durst hopes to rely on in his future albums.

Whatever the case may be, Fred Durst hopes for listeners to feel the "mindblowing effects" Result May Vary wields. To a certain extent, it does, but ultimately disappoints fans, like myself, in the end.

The only objective that Fred and his band accomplished was me shaking their head at them after giving this CD a try, despite the fact that I'm a metal fan, through and through. However, one must give credit where credit is due - at least Limp Bizkit has the guts to experiment and not stay in the mold all the time. Results May Vary, in this sense, accomplishes this task.
