Results May Vary is the fourth studio album by American nu metal band Limp Bizkit, released on September 23, 2003, through Flip and Interscope Records. It is the band's only release under the sole-leadership of vocalist Fred Durst after the temporary departure of guitarist Wes Borland, who left in 2001. Guitarist Mike Smith of Snot was brought in to replace Borland, although his time with the band was brief, and Durst along with a number of guests ended up handling the majority of the album's guitar work.
The album differed from Limp Bizkit's established sound up until that point; although the album still featured elements of hip hop and nu metal, it also branched out into other musical styles, including alternative rock, acoustic, funk and jazz. It also featured less rapping and more introspective lyrics related to heartbreak, bullying, and self-pity. An alleged affair with Britney Spears by Durst (denied by Spears) during collaborating sessions for her 2003 album In the Zone and resulting rejection by Spears was also cited as an inspiration for some of the album's material. To promote the album, music videos featuring high-profile actors were created for "Eat You Alive" and a cover of The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes"; the former featuring Thora Birch and Bill Paxton and the latter featuring Halle Berry.
Upon its release, Results May Vary peaked at number 3 on the US Billboard 200, selling at least 325,000 copies in its first week of sales. While the album still eventually went platinum, both the debut and lifetime sales were still well below prior albums Significant Other (1999) and Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000). Results May Vary sold at least 1.3 million copies in the United States, and received mainly negative critical reception as well. Results May Vary was Limp Bizkit's last studio album released before they went on hiatus for the three years between 2006 and 2009.
Background and recording
In October 2001, Fred Durst posted on the band's website: "Limp Bizkit and Wes Borland have amicably decided to part ways. Both Limp Bizkit and Borland will continue to pursue their respective musical careers. Both wish each other the best of luck in all future endeavors."{{cite journal |title=Borland bids adieu to Bizkit |journal=CMJ New Music Report |volume=69 |issue=737 |page=6 |publisher=CMJ Network |date=October 29, 2001 }} Borland explained why he left Limp Bizkit; he said: "I could have probably gone on and still played the part of the guitar player of Limp Bizkit, but musically I was kind of bored. If I was to continue, it would have been about the money and not about the true music, and I don't want to lie to myself, or to them or to fans of Limp Bizkit."{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1451931/wes-borland-why-he-left-limp-bizkit/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812220450/http://www.mtv.com/news/1451931/wes-borland-why-he-left-limp-bizkit/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 12, 2014 |title=Wes Borland: Why He Left Limp Bizkit |publisher=MTV |first=Corey |last=Moss |date=January 24, 2002 |access-date=December 20, 2016}}
According to Durst, Limp Bizkit would "comb the world for the illest guitar player known to man" to replace Borland. After holding a nationwide audition for a new guitarist, "Put Your Guitar Where Your Mouth Is",{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1451596/20011221/story.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020105172518/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1451596/20011221/story.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 5, 2002 |title=Limp Bizkit Scouring 99 Cities For New Guitarist |publisher=MTV |date=December 21, 2001 |access-date=May 31, 2006}} the band recorded with Snot guitarist Mike Smith. "Mike brought in a breath of fresh air," Durst said. "Creatively, it fit like a glove. It made life easier and more positive. It made us look forward to getting together as a band so much more. The positive effect he had on me just made the whole experience of Limp Bizkit feel like a brand-new entity." Before Smith replaced Borland, Durst originally attempted to write and play a great deal of the guitar tracks before resorting to hire session musician Elvis Baskette to help with writing and recording the majority of the album.{{cite web|url= https://youtube.com/FrA-Y2GAdzY|title= Limp Bizkit: MTV Álbum Launch 2003|website= YouTube}}{{Dead link|date=August 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Jon Wiederhorn of MTV wrote, "Limp Bizkit jammed with four finalists after their much-publicized guitarist audition tour, but now it looks like Fred Durst might be taking a cue from his Puddle of Mudd pal Wes Scantlin and handling both vocal and guitar duties himself."{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1454534/fred-durst-taking-guitar-matters-into-his-own-hands/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140721102459/http://www.mtv.com/news/1454534/fred-durst-taking-guitar-matters-into-his-own-hands/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 21, 2014 |title=Fred Durst Taking Guitar Matters Into His Own Hands? |publisher=MTV |first=Jon |last=Wiederhorn |date=May 24, 2002 |access-date=December 20, 2016}}
After a later falling-out with Smith, Durst told a fansite: "We are the type of people that stay true to our family and our instincts and at any moment will act on intuition as a whole. Mike wasn't the guy. We had fun playing with him but always knew, in the back of our minds, that he wasn't where we needed him to be mentally."{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1490229/wes-borland-back-with-limp-bizkit.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120218003051/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1490229/wes-borland-back-with-limp-bizkit.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 18, 2012 |title=Wes Borland Back With Limp Bizkit |author=D'Angelo, Joe |date=August 16, 2004 |publisher=MTV |access-date=December 17, 2011}} Limp Bizkit scrapped many of Smith's sessions, recording another album that was also scrapped.

{{Quote box |quote ="This album is about getting in touch with yourself a little bit, about accepting things a little bit more, maybe accepting the fact that you can't control or change everything and it is the way it is.

About "Down Another Day", Joe D'Angelo of MTV found it difficult to believe that lyrics that were similar to Mayer's could come from Durst, whom, according to him, had recently "likened himself to a chainsaw and threatened to skin your ass raw". "Eat You Alive" was reportedly about Britney Spears (rumored to be involved in an affair with Durst) or Angelina Jolie (whom he admired). According to Durst, "the scream in 'Eat You Alive' is like an animalistic, sexual, crazy, primitive roar", and the desire which came with this behavior. He claimed that "Just Drop Dead" was not (as had been speculated) about Britney Spears, but was inspired by his experience with her and other women,{{cite news |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/limp-bizkit-s-durst-britney-is-playing-me-out/ |title=Limp Bizkit's Durst: Britney Is Playing Me Out |work=Blabbermouth.net |date=March 1, 2003 |access-date=December 20, 2016 |archive-date=February 4, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200204122211/https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/limp-bizkit-s-durst-britney-is-playing-me-out/ |url-status=live }} also saying the song is "about a girl who acts like a whore".{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1470783/korn-snot-guitarists-to-play-with-bizkit-at-wrestlemania/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160301123920/http://www.mtv.com/news/1470783/korn-snot-guitarists-to-play-with-bizkit-at-wrestlemania/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 1, 2016 |title=Korn, Snot Guitarists To Play With Bizkit At Wrestlemania |publisher=MTV |first=Corey |last=Moss |date=March 26, 2003 |access-date=December 20, 2016}} "Underneath the Gun" is about suicide and the struggle you can have when ending your life becomes an option, according to Durst.{{cite news |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/limp-bizkit-singer-says-the-group-s-new-album-is-not-an-instant-smash-record/ |title=Limp Bizkit Singer Says The Group's New Album Is 'Not An Instant Smash Record' |work=Blabbermouth.net |date=September 30, 2003 |access-date=December 20, 2016 |archive-date=February 4, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200204122708/https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/limp-bizkit-singer-says-the-group-s-new-album-is-not-an-instant-smash-record/ |url-status=live }}

Critical reception of Results May Vary was mainly negative. The album holds a score of 33 out of 100 on Metacritic, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". This is the third lowest score on Metacritic, above The Bloodhound Gang's Hefty Fine and Kevin Federline's album Playing with Fire.{{cite web |url=https://www.metacritic.com/browse/albums/score/metascore/all/filtered?sort=desc&page=119 |title=Best Music and Albums of All Time |website=Metacritic |access-date=January 2, 2017 }}{{Dead link|date=June 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} According to AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine, "the music has no melody, hooks, or energy, [and] all attention is focused on the clown jumping up and down and screaming in front, and long before the record is over, you're left wondering, how the hell did he ever get to put this mess out?". In a review of Limp Bizkit's Greatest Hitz compilation, Erlewine called "Behind Blue Eyes" the worst in the band's "never-ending series of embarrassing covers".{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/greatest-hitz-mw0000350042 |title=Greatest Hitz - Limp Bizkit |last=Erlewine |first=Stephen Thomas |website=AllMusic |access-date=December 20, 2016 |archive-date=December 20, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220201911/http://www.allmusic.com/album/greatest-hitz-mw0000350042 |url-status=live }} Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian wrote, "Durst's problems are ever-present—and does anybody still care?". Stylus criticized Results May Vary, calling it "an album that can only be described as abysmal". Rob O'Connor of Yahoo! Launch also criticized Results May Vary: "No, Fred, the results don't vary.

Tom Day of MusicOMH wrote, "Ultimately, this album is neither crap nor blindingly good, and results do indeed vary". The Sun-Sentinel gave Results May Vary a positive review, calling Lethal's work "phenomenal", and praising "Behind Blue Eyes" and the soft-to-heavy progression of "Build a Bridge".{{cite web |url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2003-11-14/entertainment/0311130208_1_limp-bizkit-fred-durst-songs |title=A Different Bizkit |work=Sun-Sentinel |date=November 14, 2003 |access-date=December 20, 2016 |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304061805/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2003-11-14/entertainment/0311130208_1_limp-bizkit-fred-durst-songs |url-status=dead}} Steve Appleford of the Chicago Tribune gave Results May Vary a mixed review, writing: "The music achieves some surprising sophistication with new textures both acoustic and electronic.
