Reviews Customer Reviews for Results May Vary Really good when I was in middle school Rating: I first heard this album when I was in middle school (I know, I know, a young one) and at time in my life, the album really spoke to me. Parts of "Eat you alive", the part of just wanting to look at someone all day. I know what that feels like. Half the songs on the album really spoke to me. It also opened me up to a lot of new music. When I found out that one of the songs was a cover, "Behind Blue Eyes", I was opened up to a lot of new music, which is some of favorite today. It seemed like the album was aimed at my target audience at the time. As funny as it seems, a Limp Bizkit album was big part of growing up for me. But really, the album made me think. I like music that does that. It gave me something to listen to when I would have something they now call an "emo moment". To the people who say it's terrible, they're missing out on something. They didn't connect with the music in a way that I did, and I feel sorry for them.
Customer Reviews for Results May Vary Cd Back to the Same Old Chalkboard Again Rating: You'd think after 11+ years of the same thing, Limp Bizkit would finally give it up; but nope, they are at it again with yet another album that sounds as bad as their past ones.
Fred sounds like a depressed middle-class suburban white boy trying to act street once again (Surprised? I'm not) on this album. Between his mixed attempts at singing, rapping, screaming, and all three at once, it sounds like a symphony of vocal mayhem on my ears. The man can't do any of the pre-mentioned, but he likes to think he can, apparently. For someone who likes to bask in the self-acclaimed fact claiming that he is "metal" (Yes, he considers himself to be "metal", he has made it clear on many VH1 specials. Even though, he likes to dress like a complete fool; wearing furry Kangol hats and big diamond stud earrings isn't metal Fred!), he certainly doesn't show it on any of his past albums, or this one for that matter. LB's most "metal" song is Break Stuff, and that is for the simple fact that Jon Davis appears on it.
Now, onto the band itself- They still have no talent. The only slightly talented member of the band is Wes Borland, and he sounds like Stevie Wonder blind swinging at the strings with a broken arm. Lets face it; the entire band is horrible, but they are made to sound more horrible than they probably are with Fred's repeated beat and pre-school lyrics. Before you say that they aren't elementary when they're writing, look at some of the titles; "Red Light-Green Light", "Build a Bridge", and "Lonely World". I don't know about anyone else, but to me, those sound like they sat in front of a TV and watched Sesame Street while under the influence.
Now, my big gripe about this album, and a personal message to Limp-
L-I-M-P
Sing it.
Discover.
You are kidding, right? You took a perfectly good song by a legendary and groundbreaking band, and tore it to shreds by adding in a less-than-stellar techno breakdown, or whatever you'd like to call it, to it, on top of your horrible butchering of the drums, bass, and guitar lines, as well as adding in redundant scratching from your "DJ" while Fred sings his vile heart out. You boys started with a crappy cover, why not end with one, huh?
If you think of buying this album, don't. Just go to SpiralFrog or some other free music downloading site, listen to the songs, then drop it into your recycling bin, where it belongs.
