It is a little monotonous, but whatever. And the fact they have short good music song sequences after songs, for people who hate the cd, don't even know these songs exists. It's like a treat for putting through the worst songs on the cd, coincidentally 'Behind Blue Eyes' and 'Red light green light'. But all in all, the cd is awesome.

    This album is very good. It contains two of their greatest songs, Behind Blue Eyes and Eat You Alive. The rest of the songs are good too. I'd recommend purchasing this album to any die-hard Limp Bizkit fan.

It shows a more mature band with more melodies, softer vocals instead of the harsh angry party screaming, and the songs altogether are easier to listen to; they aren't an assault to the ears. It's Limp Bizkit heading off in a new direction and experimenting as artists instead of staying stagnant.

Let's start with the bad: The insipid autobiographical "Almost Over" has such hilarious contradictions as "took alot of crap as a little boy, learned how to rap as a little boy" and "I'm singing in the rain as an older man" coming from an MC who just cleverly rhymed "rap" with "crap" and a bold optimistic lyricist who spent his past three albums complaining about his girlfriend. "Gimme the Mic" and "Phenomenon" are so outlandishly overblown that they make the late 80's Beastie Boys claims of lyrical dopeness seem like accurate representations of hardened gangsta veterans, and that was shtick! Fred expects us to take boasts like "baggie jeans and a bottle of crack hits" seriously! The ballads (which take up a large chunk of the album)are for the most part woefully trite, with the exception of the genuinely pretty "Down Another Day", and when they're not generic, they're self-indulgent and bitter. If that doesn't make you tap the skip button fast enough, the Snoop Dog collaboration, "Red Light Green Light" is vapid, bland, and just plain lame-o. (wipes sweat off forehead) Okay, but amidst all these debacles, there is a fair amount of Bizkity goodness to partly compensate. "Eat you Alive" and "Re-Entry" have ham-fisted, thunderously catchy riffs balanced with pretty melodic bits. It's a reminder that under all the teen-angst and occasionally awful writing, the Bizkit really do know what they're doing, and there's some genius behind the jock. "Creamer" and "Lonely World" have desolate, Linkin Park style electronic gawthic pop beats, that you can dance to and sulk to at the same time. Plus, the rapping is a few notches above Mike Shinoda. "Head for the Barricade" has a tribal war-chant drum beat that works wonderfully, and the songs nu-metal ingenius climax would inspire riotous moshing, as would the clever riff trickery of "The Only One" And that's pretty much the whole sha-bang. About 5 or 6 really good songs on a 16 track album with the rest ranging from mostly mediocre to laughable. Still, Limp Bizkit isn't the worst of Nu Metal's evils, they're just the most renown. If Fred didn't stir up so much annoying controversy here and there, and the Bizkit weren't once the biggest, most arrogant band in the world, the critics would probably grant this comfortably mediocre album in the 50-60 range along with Linkin Park. This Bizkit may be a bit soggy, but focus your hatred on nu metal bands like Crossfade, Seether, Evenescance, and P.O.D, as they're what you should be worrying about.… Expand

    I'm a fan of Bizkit's previous album, but I have to agree that this is bad. The problem here is that this isn't really a Limp Bizkit album. The majority of it sounds like the work of a sub-par and overly emotional alternative rock band. When I listen to Limp Bizkit I am doing it in order to just rock out, not listen to Fred Durst slow things down in order to sing about his feelings.

    The first three tracks, along with "Head for the Barricade,"carry the same loud and heavy style that I want to hear from this band, and that makes me wonder what happened with the rest of the album. It is honestly like another band did the rest of the songs, and did a crappy job at that. I'm sure there are some Limp Bizkit fans who will appreciate hearing the band display a softer side of sorts, and this different style might even attract new fans or make the haters think twice, but I know all it did was alienate me.

    This is just a bad album, Limp Bizkit or otherwise. Truly I feel it deserves all of the negative attention and reviews it has got. It just isn't Limp Bizkit. Because of that I didn't enjoy the vast majority of it at all. I give it a 4.5/10-Bad.    … Expand

    Often renowned as Limp Bizkit's worst piece of work (keeping in mind that a lot of critics denounce every piece of work done by Limp Bizkit in what is one of the worst cases of a band being subject to unfair bias due to factors that have nothing to do with the actual music at all), Results May Vary has often been seen as the album that completely derailed Limp Bizkit's position as aOften renowned as Limp Bizkit's worst piece of work (keeping in mind that a lot of critics denounce every piece of work done by Limp Bizkit in what is one of the worst cases of a band being subject to unfair bias due to factors that have nothing to do with the actual music at all), Results May Vary has often been seen as the album that completely derailed Limp Bizkit's position as a mainstream Nu-Metal band. Much of this infamy and drop in musical quality can be attributed to the temporary departure of Wes Borland for this record, whom had left the band for a short period due to personal conflict with other members of the group , and as a result saw Bizkit going out on a limb with the absence of one of its main writers and its most talented musician.

    When listening to Results May Vary it becomes obvious that Bizkit's sound has been effected greatly by this change and saw a great variety of sounds being implemented with little consistency or sense of direction; following up a very familiar and Limp-style opening on Re-Entry with screeching guitars and searing vocals on what has to be Bizkit's heaviest track of all time: Eat You Alive, though this turn doesn't hold throughout the rest of the rest of the record and the only other song on the record to even come close to matching its aggression being: Head for the Barricade, which is catchy but nowhere near as memorable. Most of the other songs on the record see Bizkit take more of an alternative approach to the metal sound with songs such as Build a Bridge and Underneath the Gun packing little punch and coming across as incredibly formulaic. The album's worst is a pointless and forgettable cover of The Who's Behind Blue Eyes, one of Bizkit's worst pieces to date.

    Despite this negativity however there are elements of Bizkity goodness spread throughout the record, with several enjoyable intervals such as Take it Home providing small periods of laid-back enjoyment whilst the track: Red-Light Green-Light sees a catchy and fun collaboration between Bizkit and Snoop Dogg in an amusing lyrical trade-off.

    Overall the criticism levied at this album in particular can indeed be justified: it's inconsistent and fails to pack a punch in multiple aspects, thanks mainly to the lack of Bizkit's greatest feature: Wes Borland and his experimental style. Despite the fact that it indeed lives up to the title of being Bizkit's worst record there are several moments of enjoyment to be had and it deserves at least a listen or two if only to be appreciated as a reminder of the downfall of mainstream Nu-Metal.    … Expand

    An easily forgettable follow-up to his good 2000's album, Results may vary is disappointing enough to make you not enjoy Wes Boreland gutar riffs and the cool panel of guests on the album.

    Limp Bizkit is now like a dog who was just neutered and had its teeth kicked in . The edge and energy they had in their first 2 albums are but a thing of the past. The whiny nu-metal kids raised on Staind, Linkin Park, and most of the crappy bands today like that will probably like it (and are rabidly apparent in their reviews), but old school fans and just about everyone else need not apply.

    I can honestly say this album sucks. It's got a couple good songs, but overall it seems they didn't know what to do with their new guitar player. Durst never understood that nobody cared about how troubled his childhood/teen years were, I personally don't care as long as his lyrics give me something to think about, and lame rhymes with loads of complaints is not a good combination.

The music overall is not so good, they wrote a couple good riffs for this album, but the rest is just forgettable. The song they made with Snoop Dogg, instead of giving the album a stand-out track for Dogg or LB fans, it was mostly ignored by all people, because nobody likes annoying and repetitive rap-like electronic music.
    So I should give this album a 3, maybe, and my problem with this album is that I like it a lot even though I realize only idiots like me could like it, knowing it's a piece of **** But oh, well....    … Expand

I have to admit on Behind Blue Eyes, the acoustic guitar has some vibe, like in the end of the tact when it ends with the A String Chord, that is really catchy if it wouldn't be a The Who cover with Durst trying to sing and the text to speech voice like, it's begging for some Input. It is needless to say that the band would be way better off without Fred Durst, and if i have to put out an A String Chord to say at least anything positive about this album at all, then this is not a great album.… Expand

    So many things went wrong with this album. First and foremost: Fred Durst still can't write lyrics to save his life. He's 30-something years old and still writes with the mindset of a drunken frat boy. Secondly: The band's best musician, guitarist Wes Borland, is MIA on RESULTS MAY VARY. Mike Smith does an okay job replacing Borland, but it simply isn't the same. So many things went wrong with this album. First and foremost: Fred Durst still can't write lyrics to save his life.

Mike Smith does an okay job replacing Borland, but it simply isn't the same. Third, like "Chocolate Starfish" before it, the album runs on too long (although not as long as "Chocolate Starfish," where seven tracks out of the eight in the album's second half exceeded five minutes in length). Third: The cover of "Behind Blue Eyes" is the best song on the album. This is a problem for two reasons: a) The instrumental from the original has been replaced by a dull, monotonous voice repeating "L-I-M-P...discover" over and over; and b) If a subpar cover of someone else's song is the best song on your band's album, then you're probably in big trouble because none of your own songs are standing out as much. The only thing that could have made this album any worse is if they stuck with their original idea for the album title and called this record -- I kid you not -- PANTY SNIFFER.… Expand

    Um total pesadelo. Um lixo musical. Uma dor auditiva. Basicamente, este álbum está repleto de sons tóxicos que matam as nossas células cerebrais. Até mesmo aqueles que defendem com unhas e dentes a banda, provavelmente irão achar que "Results May Vary" é monótono, aborrecido e com um conceito indefinido.
