Data Insight

Limp Bizkit songs are written by the band, with Fred Durst handling lyrics and the members composing the music; on this record the core writing fell to Durst and the returning Wes Borland, with Sam Rivers and drummer Sammy Siegler contributing on most tracks and John Otto credited on 'The Channel.' Produced by Ross Robinson, who had shaped the band's earliest work, the EP-length release was a deliberately rawer and heavier return after Borland's three-year absence, trading the radio-rap of Results May Vary for denser material aimed at subjects like propaganda and terrorism. Durst insisted it be issued with almost no promotion, which limited its commercial reach despite the band's name.

The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) is Limp Bizkit's fifth studio album, released May 3, 2005 on Interscope. Produced entirely by Ross Robinson and reuniting the classic lineup after Wes Borland's return, the album is a brief, politically charged seven-track record that was given away for free at shows and online before a limited retail release.
