For me, putting it simply, this album is the best they have ever done, and one of the best albums of the year, and Mike proves himself equal to, if not better than Wes.
With Limp Bizkit's back catalogue, you have the raw hatred mixed with chilled emotion of '$3 Bill, Y'all', the radio friendly rap metal anthems of 'Significant Other' and the mix of heavy and slow of 'Chocolate Starfish...'. 'Results May Vary' sees them displaying a new found emotional maturity in their music (most likely related to Fred's relationship with Britney Spears and the unwarranted hatred from audiences and press alike), while still displaying the fun loving, tongue in cheek nature of their past (such as the lyric 'I'd love to sniff on them panties'). They do seem to be a happier band, however. If you listen to the first album it is mostly about hatred towards unfaithful, money chasing girls (see 'Stuck' as a good example), but this record seems more laid back and less angry in general.
Meatier songs like 'Head For The Barricade', 'Phenomenon' (which samples the LL Cool J classic of the same name) and the blistering opener 'Eat You Alive' will keep the casual listeners happy with the usual crunching riffs and angry lyrics ('...Barricade's' chorus and breakdown wouldn't be out of place on a Biohazard album). However, its the slower songs that are the most satisfying for me. 'Lonely World' and 'Build A Bridge' use a similar format to the excellent slow songs from 'Chocolate Starfish...' ('The One', 'Hold On' etc.) and give out a relaxed yet emotional sound, not dissimilar to Tool.
They have also included one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in the form of 'Behind Blue Eyes', a cover of The Who's classic, its truly a song to take you to another place and hearing it live brought a tear to my eye. It is a fitting end to an excellent record, one that should keep die hard fans in love, but the vote is not in on whether casual fans will enjoy the lack of 'Rollin's and 'Break Stuff's. Hopefully they will embrace the maturity and intelligence of this excellent album.
Before the release of this album, i was in fear that Limp Bizkit were just going to die out due to Borland's departure, but even with Durst's ego problem, and new member Mike Smith not having the same calibre of Borland, its hard not to appreciate the effort being displayed here.
Boasting a more maturer noise, Results May Vary at 17 tracks shows something old and something new. Eat You Alive, Head For The Barricade and Phenomenon sounds like they could be taken out out of the Chocolate Starfish album, a more enjoyable intro to boot and some ballads are showcased like The Who's Behind Blue Eyes and Build A Bridge.
This is highly recommended, although the album is rather long, it has a style that can be enjoyed, its just a shame that most people are going to discard it.
Its nowhere near as heavy as previous releases due to the absence of Wes Borland but its a decent... Read more
