Data Insight

Results May Vary keeps the band's authorship convention, with Fred Durst writing lyrics and music credited to the band members, though this record arrived after Wes Borland's departure. Production came from Terry Date, Fred Durst, Rick Rubin and DJ Lethal, reflecting a more fragmented studio process than earlier albums. The album's most recognized track is a cover of The Who's 'Behind Blue Eyes,' while Snoop Dogg features on 'Red Light-Green Light.' Lead single 'Eat You Alive' leaned back toward heavier territory after the more pop-oriented cover.

Results May Vary is Limp Bizkit's fourth studio album, released September 23, 2003 on Flip/Interscope. Recorded without guitarist Wes Borland, who had departed the band, and produced by a combination of Terry Date, Fred Durst, and Rick Rubin, the album received a mixed reception and marked a commercial decline from the band's 1999-2000 peak.
