Results May Vary is the fourth album by Limp Bizkit, released on September 23, 2003 through Interscope Records. The album was certified Platinum on June 3, 2008 in the US,^[2] and Gold in the UK in October 2003^[3]. The album's first single, "Eat You Alive", gained significant airplay on modern and mainstream rock radio stations. The second and last single, "Behind Blue Eyes", was also a moderate hit cracking the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at number 71) and its subsequent music video receiving heavy rotation on MTV. Promotional singles were issued for "Red Light-Green Light" and "Almost Over".

[edit] Album information

It went through many name changes, originally going by the name Lessismore, and later Bipolar. Other names the album went through include Panty Sniffer, The Search for Teddy Swoes, and Fetus More. At one point Fred Durst even said "Whatever I'm feeling it is on the day the artwork is due, then that will be the final title".

For the first recording sessions, the band recorded without a permanent guitarist in the band (since Wes Borland left in 2001). Vocalist Fred Durst and bassist Sam Rivers played guitar on some songs, and engineer Elvis Baskette was hired to play guitar on some others. This is the only Limp Bizkit album featuring former Snot guitarist Mike Smith. Fifteen songs were written and recorded for the album. Then Mike Smith was recruited, and four more were written as well.

After a discussion with Jimmy Iovine, the chairman of Interscope Records, the band decided the vibe they had with Smith was good enough that they should go back into the studio and write a whole new album's worth of material. In the end, ten more songs were written and recorded. The best songs were chosen from among these, and they made it onto the album. The others, including songs like "Masturbation", "Cowgirls from Hell", and "Relentless" are collectively known by Fred as the 'Off the Record' tracks. Fred occasionally plays them on the band's MySpace.

• The song "Behind Blue Eyes" is a cover of The Who's original version and was used as the theme of the movie Gothika, with the music video featuring Halle Berry, who is also in the movie.

• The song "Red Light - Green Light" featuring Snoop Dogg was used in a commercial for Snickers candy bars^[4].

• The song "Just Drop Dead" one of the songs discarded from the album, was purposely leaked by Fred Durst, supposedly as a diss to Britney Spears, after the Fred Durst and Britney Spears romance controversy. It was later released on the Eat You Alive single.^{[citation needed]}

• Tim Burton collaborated with the band for the cover art while it was still going under the 'The Search for Teddy Swoes' name.

• The song "Gimme the Mic" features lyrics from the Eric B. and Rakim song "Microphone Fiend".^{[citation needed]}

• The song "Build A Bridge" was the theme song of WWE Survivor Series 2003. The song "Crack Addict", which also didn't make it onto the album, was used as the theme song for WWE's WrestleMania XIX. It was also released as a downloadable song for the Rock Band platform in Dec. 2009.

• The bridge in the song "Head for the Barricade" also features the only thrash-styled uptempo beat ever heard through all of the bands discography.

• On the inside cover the artwork shows a bottle of pills with the prescription from "Dr. Tyler Durden", a reference to Fight Club, of which Fred Durst is a fan. The song "Head for the Barricade" was also in the Fight Club game, in which he is a hidden character.

• In the credits of the album, Pete Townshend's name was misspelled.

[edit] Reception

Initial critical response to Results May Vary has been negative by music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 33, based on 11 reviews, making it the 3th worst ranked album in Metacritic's history.^[5]

However, Q Magazine's rating of 8/10 and review was favorable stating, "A far more rounded proposition than 2000's water-treading Chocolate Starfish."^[6]

Rolling Stone's review was also favorable praising, "songs such as "Creamer (Radio Is Dead)" and "Lonely World" get by on Linkin Park-style electronic textures, stutter-step rhythms and catchy, cathartic choruses."^[7]
