It is a bit of a ‘con’ when some music stores sell this the same price as regular albums, but Limp Bizkit have stated that it’s the shops that are conning the customers, not them. Only one questionable aspect to this is that it only consists of 7 songs (They intend to sell their new albums in parts. and that is what the major letdown is on this CD. Personally I think that they should concentrate on their own style rather than stealing others. What annoys me with this album is that Fred Durst is basically trying to imitate Zach De La Rocha from Rage Against The Machine. Say what you will about Limp Bizkit, but there is no denying that Borland is a creative guy. Wes Borland's presence is what ultimately makes this CD work. The band has both returned to their roots, and also matured. These songs sound less fun, more urgent, and darker than their previous releases. The ending ballad, "The Surrender" is one of the best, most honest songs they've ever written. In fact, this album contains some of their finest, most catchy collection of songs to date. Well, "The Unquestionable Truth, Part 1" is not lacking there. One thing that "Results May Vary" lacked was good riffs. "The Unquestionable Truth, Part I, is a strong comeback for the band. Could his return revitalize the band? The answer is, yes… to a certain extent.
Wes Borland then returned to the band, so it seemed that all was not lost. With the release of “Results May Vary” they looked they finished. Then after hooking up with guitarist Mike Smith, the band released the horrific "Results May Vary" album. The bands search for a new guitar player, in which they had the contenders sign a contract forfeiting any music they played at the tryout, damaged their reputation more. Then there was Fred Durst's embarrassing public craze with Britney Spears. Basically his was the only member with any ‘real’ musical talent. First, guitarist Wes Borland left the band. There first three albums "Three Dollar Bill Ya’ll" (1997), Significant Other (1999) and "Chocolate Starfish" (2000) were ok (C.S been my personal favourite of there’s) but they were one of the better bands of the Nu-Metal genre, and cranked out heavy songs, with good hooks, and sing-along-choruses.Īfter reaching their plateau with "Chocolate Starfish," Limp Bizkit basically started to crumble. Limp Bizkit was never really a great band in my opinion. Their break-out single was a cover of George Michael’s hit “Faith”. Due largely to Korn they were able to promote with appearances on MTV and The Family Values Tour as well as Ozzfest (and Wes Borland's outlandish stage clothes didn't hurt either). It wasn't until Limp Bizkit made an association with the band Korn that they made any progress. 1997 saw the release of their first full-length album Three Dollar Bill ya’ll.
In 1996 they released a five song-EP featuring songs such as "Pollution" and "Sour". Soon after House of Pain broke up, DJ Lethal joined the band. About this time, they became friends with rap music House of Pain, of which DJ Lethal was a member. They toured in and around their hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. Limp Bizkit was formed in 1994 by Durst, Rivers, and Otto.
