Limp
Bizkit 
Results
May Vary
By: Holly

Limp Bizkit's
fourth album, Results May Vary, was released with a bang. MTV
followed LB for sixteen months (the time it took the guys to record
the album) and videotaped every move: from bathroom breaks and vacation
time, to visiting family and collaborating with other artists.
Somehow,
MTV managed to narrow sixteen months worth of footage to five half-hour
segments, which gave LB's fans a glimpse of what it's like to
be one of them.
These segments were aired leading up to the release of Results
May Vary - their first studio album in three years.
Results May Vary went through various title changes as well
as several guitarists. Limp Bizkit's lead guitarist, Wes Borland,
left the band and was finally replaced by Mike Smith who completed
the lineup.
With over an
hour's worth of songs, Results May Vary is a treat to fans:
It's extremely different from LB's previous CDs. Unlike Three Dollar
Bill Ya'll, Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish
and the Hotdog Flavored Water, Fred Durst tends to harmonize,
sing a lot more and scream a lot less. Their rendition of The Who's
"Behind Blue Eyes" sent shivers up my spine because of Fred's
ability to hit some hard notes and the verse he changed.
If you were
lucky, some stores packaged the CD with a bonus limited DVD 34 minutes
long that included scenes from their upcoming DVD, Poop. The
DVD has scenes from home videos shot back in 1996 when LB was first
touring.
Snoop Dogg makes an appearance on the track "Red Light, Green
Light," which was documented on one of MTV's segments. Their
chemistry in the song is amazing. The guys from Limp Bizkit seemed
to have matured and evolved to an extent. Fred Durst doesn't seem
as angry at the world now that he has his young son in his life. Much
like Aaron Lewis of Staind, LB seemed to have mellowed out, but they
have yet to show any signs of fading.
Limp Bizkit
is far from becoming 'has-beens.' They are not slowing down, rearing
and ready to go another round. You should definitely go buy this CD,
or at least borrow it from a friend. That way you can listen to not
only one of my favorite CDs of all time, but one of Limp Bizkit's
best efforts as well.
