    This is actually not half bad, if you listen with an open mind. Yeah, Limp Bizkit sold out...but that's in the past.

    Alrite. So there I was, in the movie theater finishing Gothica. Then as the credits start to roll, I hear "Behind Blue Eyes". I notice right away that its not The Who, yet I still think it is decent. After finding out it was Limp Bizkit, I purchased the cd. I turned on the cover of "Behind Blue Eyes" right away and actually started getting into it. And then, when the amazing interlude Alrite. So there I was, in the movie theater finishing Gothica.

And then not at all. And then some Simon Says like voice coming on saying discover. I mean seriously. What the hell? I think that alone should earn this cd at least a 3...Now, the rest of the cd, that is what drops it down to a zero. This cd is so horrible that I actually recomend that you go to your local music store, buy it, take it home, and frame it along with a Hillary Duff cd and you'll have your very own wall of shame. Someone shoot Fred Durst.… Expand

    You can't buy this and say you have good taste in music. It's that simple.

    Behind Blue Eyes is the best Limp Bizkit song since Rollin'. I will admit that the rest of the album is pretty weak, but still, 2.9!

    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 This is a problem for two reasons: a) The instrumental from the original has been replaced by a dull, monotonous voice repeating "L-I-M-P...discover" over and over; and b) If a subpar cover of someone else's song is the best song on your band's album,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

    This album isn't very good and I'm not saying that because I hate Fred Durst. I actually like Limp Bizkit's previous albums. It's just that Wes Borland has always been a creative force for Limp Bizkit. Without him, this band will flounder. That really showed on this record.

    I simply don't understand all the hate that this album gets. I was unaware of all this and joined Metacritic simply to give my two cents on the issue. Results May Vary has helped me personally through some very hard time and I'm sure I'm not alone when I say it dropped at an age in our lives when we needed it the most. Those emotional, angsty years. If we already loved Limp Bizkit through,I simply don't understand all the hate that this album gets.

And the "Smelly Beaver leak of 2010" When we finally got the cut content from the Results May Vary sessions, what he left out originally was great and only makes Results May Vary better in hindsight in my opinion. Its position above only kevin federline is a travesty.… Expand

    It goes from the Intro track with a (at the time of the release) 33 year old wanting to sniff on panties, ending with a horrible Behind Blue Eyes cover from the The Who original. For me, this album has only one song, that isn't completely garbage, which is "Let Me Down", which at least HAS some Lyrics you can listen to without cringing the next couple days over how this album even could beIt goes from the Intro track with a (at the time of the release) 33 year old wanting to sniff on panties, ending with a horrible Behind Blue Eyes cover from the The Who original. For me, this album has only one song, that isn't completely garbage, which is "Let Me Down", which at least HAS some Lyrics you can listen to without cringing the next couple days over how this album even could be released with about 1 year of work on it. 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

    This is a solid album, I think the line in the song behind blue eyes perfectly describes what people think this album "nobody knows what its like to be the bad man" People are way too harsh on this album. Its definitely not an amazing album but it doesn't deserve such terrible reviews.

    Even though this album is still very solid and has some seriously catchy tracks, I would not show it to someone to give them an idea of what the band sounds like.

    A far more rounded proposition than 2000's water-treading Chocolate Starfish. [Dec 2003, p.132]

    Eventually, 'Results May Vary' could become a fascinating document - a frightening insight into the vacuous state of 21st century culture.
