This C.D. really deserves three or three and a half stars, but I gave it four because there are too many unfair one star reviews. It is, in all honesty, not nearly as bad as people are saying. It's not great, so it doesn't deserve five stars; but it really doesn't deserve one, either. It has it's high and low lights, which even out into a pretty decent album. Given the hatred that has developed towards Limp Bizkit over the past couple of years, it's not surprising that this C.D. isn't getting great reviews. After you filter out all of the completely unfair and bias reviews from people who most likely haven't even heard the album, you realize that most of the reviews are saying that this album is a step forward from their "Chocolate Starfish" album.
Musically, Limp Bizkit stay in about the same place as their last album, but lyrically, I'm inclined to agree that this is better (i.e. no excessive swearing and fewer childish rhymes). Fred's subject matter is usually about his own pain, in which he often has to dig up old childhood memories. But I don't agree that he "beats us over the head with his pain." His pain on this album is sort of like P.O.D. and their Christianity. I don't think you have to feel Fred's pain to enjoy this C.D., just like you don't have to be a Christian to enjoy P.O.D.'s music.

"Eat You Alive" begins with an almost face melting guitar riff, which, at first only can be heard in one headphone. Five seconds later, the other instruments come along and back the riff, making it louder and audible in both headphones. On this song, the guitar seems so fast that the other instruments are almost playing catch up with it. Meanwhile, Fred yells away about the insanity of being in love with someone you can't ever have. I, personally, know what that's like, so I can relate to lyrics like "I just wanna look at you... all day..."
"Gimme the Mic" is vintage Limp. Hard and catchy riffs coupled with a hook-heavy rap-metal beat.
"Underneath the Gun" is the first semi-ballad of the album. Slow and melodic with a guitar solo (you heard me!) near the end. Fred's voice isn't great, but it's tolerable and it goes well with this song's music.
"Almost Over" is a hit-or-miss. Some people will hate the self-absorbed lyrics, but many will relate to those lyrics. I like how this song's verses are gentle, and the song builds to hard rock.
"Red Light, Green Light" is another hit or miss. Tupac fans will hate Fred's rapping, but I don't think this song is bad, either. Good beat and a good cameo by Snoop Dogg, but mediocre lyrics by Fred.
"Head for the Barricade" could have easily been one of the album's singles. A mosh-worthy and headbanging-worthy chant at the beginning and a bobbing beat during the chorus. Very catchy.
"Behind Blue Eyes" is yet another hit or miss song. Most say it's a terrible cover, but, coming from someone who's heard the original version as well as this version of the song, I can say it isn't half bad. It actually isn't that far removed from the original. Melodic, clear singing and gentle background music. The only discernable difference I can find between this and the original is this song's bridge where Fred sings "Discover...L-I-M-P".

Now, since the usual Bizkit bases are covered here (rap metal, beat-heavy tracks, straight foward rap and a few ballads), this album won't make you like the band if you never liked them before. If you like Limp Bizkit, buy this C.D. If you're so-so on them or never liked them, this won't change your mind.

When Limp Bizkit first started, their rapcore-like music blew me away. I immediately ran out and grabbed their CD "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all" without even thinking twice. They continued to go on until they released a second CD, "Significant Other". This CD was good but was nothing compared to their first. I hesitated before picking this one up, but eventually did. When they produced their third CD "Choclate Starfish and hotdog flavored water" all I said was "What the **** is this?" The title sucked and the music sucked even more! Now Limp Bizkit has released yet another CD with plenty of sucking going on. All the songs sound the same and include horrible singing and beats that just repeat over and over. If I wanted music like that, I'd beat on a pan and have my dog howl out-of-tune notes. Limp Bizkit has turned out to be a freakin' disease that can't be killed and won't stop until everyone's mind is screwed over by their horribly pathetic music. Everyone should stay away from the CD unless you are some ultra-hardcore Limp Bizkit fan..If you are, then all I have to say is "I'm sorry for you"

Fred Durst and Company have no talent and finally it is more evident than ever.

I saw someone said that (read the title). No offence, '85 Delorean' but if you thing that Fred is the most talented frontman your'e seriously missing out. I realize that you don't listen to (good) rock music from the 60's, 70's, 80's (Not this Bon Jovi Crap and etc.) and the early 90's, 'cause if you do you would find out that 'Behind Blue Eyes' made by The Who, and Fred Burst STOLE their version. Limp Bizkit is one of the worst (if not the worst) bands ever puked to the world, their songs suck, their players suck and Fred as well. Do yourself a favour, go get something by Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Metallica's 5 first albums (the others stink as Limp Bizkit), Black Sabbath, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Guns N Roses, Queen, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix etc. etc. etc..... I bet you that you won't think anymore that Fred Burst is the most talented frontman.

1 star? It doesnt even deserve that. 0, not even close.
The album sinks way way way below the line. Awful. This album
was recommened by a friend as one of limp bizkits best album,
with a little more rock and a lot less rap. How about a little
less creativity and a little more crap. Metal? I dont think so.
Terrible wannabe winny immmature stupid garbage. Fred durst
needs a lesson on writing some better lyrics. One song rhymes
down over a dozen times. Some, SOME SOME, and i mean SOME,
earlier limp bizbit stuff was ok. " boiler,break stuff, re-arranged,couterfeit," This crap, results may vary is lacking.
The rapping is so awful. The metal. METAL? Theres no metal.
Lyrics-

"hey you
Mrs. too-good-to-look-my-way
and that's cool you want nothing at all to do with me.
But I want you,
ain't nothing wrong with wanting you cause
I'm a man and I can think what the hell I want,
you got that straight?

No doubt now (no doubt),
I'd love to (id love)
sniff on your [...] now.


I'm sorry. So sorry (damn, you're so hot!!)
Your beauty is so vague (damn you're so hot!!)
it drives me,yes it drives me (damn your so hot)
absolutely insane
- Eat you alive
Terrible. Throw in a polished horrid cover of the whos behind blue eyes, and there is the icing on the cake, for such a
awful album.

Limp Bisquick have done it again. Seriously, I though "Chocolate Starfish" was bad enough with its generic and recycled riffs used over and over. That album was bad, but this? This is just a sin against nature.

Here's an overview of some songs on this record:

"Eat You Alive" - Retarded lyrics and mundane music.
"Gimme The Mic" - Obviously a Beastie Boys ripoff.
"Almost Over" - Fred needs to find a thesaurus and use words other than 'little'.
"Red Light Green Light" - Wow, I almost blew a gasket when hearing this. Snoop Dogg teams up with Durst on this one.
"Behind Blue Eyes" - Fred Durst should be stoned to death for butchering a classic. Have you seen the video? Fred Durst and Halle Berry are just French-kissing enough to piss off the Who.

Man, these guys suck. Trent Reznor was right. Fred Durst is the scum of the earth and this album proves it. Definitely beats "St. Anguish" to the worst of 2003 list.

Limp Bizksh*t is the sorriest excuse for a band ever. Fred Durst has no talent at all, I've written better lyrics than he has, and I'm only 14 years old! He relies on fake relationships with pop star for song material! And the rest of the band sucks just almost as much, even though I think their guitarist came from Snot, anyone who would even consider joining this band is a complete idiot. Like my title states, this is degrading to both rock and rap music, and DEFINITELY is not metal. Here's my advice: Save your money and buy CDs by some of these bands:
Opeth, Slayer, Pantera, Entombed, Testament, (old) Metallica, Sevendust, System of a Down, Lacuna Coil, The Gathering, Arch Enemy, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Soundgarden, Stratovarius, Skunk Anansie, Snot, Chimaira, Nothingface, Killswitch Engage, Mushroomhead, Meshuggah (the list goes on and on...)
Not necessarily because I like these bands, but simply because almost ANYTHING is better than Limp.

It was almost as if Fred Durst was sitting around in a studio saying,"I wonder just how bad we can suck without being struck down by lightning for bringing one more evil onto the earth. When my friend played this album for me i sat in awe suddenly realizing what it meant to be "the worst band of all time". For the next few nights i laid awake in my bed wondering if it was a joke and i was supposed to be laughing, maybe Fred Durst thought it would be funny to try and make the worst music possible and see how many people would actually buy it. Or maybe its just a simple case of the apocolypse. I still havent figured this out. I suppose the only reason this cd hasnt been made as illegal as heroin is The Who cover in which Fred Durst trys to gather sympathy from the masses and not be shot for crimes against humanity. Please do not buy this cd and encourage Fred to (gulp) make another album. ahhhh!

Not since Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" has an album put me into such a trance. Everything musical about this CD is perfect; from Fred Durst's vocal delivery to the guitarist's stellar riffs, it's impossible to hate "Results May Vary," Limp Bizkit's most significantly amazing masterpiece yet.

I may be going out on a limb here, but Fred Durst's singing will probably make you want to burn all your Frank Sinatra albums. You want quality singing? Look no further than "Results May Vary." As far as the lyrics go, Fred's songwriting could give Bob Dylan a run for his money. The songs are among the most socially conscious I've ever heard in my life. Durst is truly the heir to Marvin Gaye's throne. Amazing.

The instrumentals here are probably the most complex I've ever heard in my life. The guitar riffs would make Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix blush if they were still alive to hear them. I'm glad Wes Borland left because he was the only one in the band who had no talent. This new guy can whale!

This is one of the best albums of the year. Heck, it's one of the best albums of the new millenium! I'd buy a million copies if I could afford it! I don't think there's been such a splendid display of amazing talent since Ludacris blew us all away with "Word Of Mouf." Bravo.

One more thing: if you believed a word of my review, throw yourself into a well and take this album with you.

All right heres a detail review of this piece of garbage:

Re-Entry:
It is a intro,in which ticketmaster is inviting everbody to the circus to "..witness the thing that you have never seen before",and when fred asked "What is it?",ticketmaster replies "It is limp bizkit"(I think this is the only true thing on the whole album).Then bada** music starts and fred start self-proclaiming that "All around the world you know me".This is the intro or what???

Eat you alive:
Pretty bad heavymetal music throughout the song.In this song fred is taking out his frustration and anger of his past affairs (britney spears etc) by tourcharing a woman (and us) by shouting ("I`ll eat you alive") and yelling at her ("..i don`t know what the f**k your name is..").Now after doing all the stupid things fred is tourchering a woman,how cheap??

Gimmie the mic:
All you can hear throughout the song is the words like motherf*****,s**t etc.

Underneath the gun:
After taking out his frustration in the past two songs fred is now claiming that "I've been working so hard"
on the slow music.But it won`t work fred cause both lyrics and music sucks.

Down another day:
Again pretty weak lyrics and music plus fred voice totally sucks in this song.

Almost over:
In this song he is taking out the frustration of his childhood like:
"Always under attack as a little boy"
"I was locked in a cage as a little boy"
and more,but who cares?

Build a bridge:
In this song fred is saying that he will keep trying to reach in our mind even if we reject him:
"Even though it's gonna crumble down
I'll keep building till you come around"
SUCKS!!!

Red light green light:
A weak rap song featuring "Snoop doggs".

The Only One:
Now fred is claiming that "..I'm the only one..".Again weak lyrics and weak music.

Let me down:
Just like the previous track,in this track he is now claiming that all the haters "..let me down".

Lonley World:
In this track fred is saying that he is living inside a lonley world ("Another day another night inside a lonely world"),again both lyrics and music sucks.

Phenomenon:
Fred is now claiming that he is a "phenomenon".

Creamer(Radio is dead):
Trashing the "radio" throughout the song.

Head for the barricade:
Now promising to himself that he will fight the haters:
"Sometimes you gotta fight for your right when you're
Not sure you're in a fight for your life, right?"
Another worst song.

Behind blue eyes:
A really great song of "The Who",in which he added he line "Discover L.I.M.P",in other words he is claiming that this is there original song(just another cheap move by monkey durst).Anyway original song is great and the one sucks.

Drown:
For the last time fred is begging us to:
"Save me
Before i drown"
Another weak song.

Overall:
The only thing that you will hear throughout the album is the ego and frustration of a "Jacka** Joker".
