Limp Bizkit's Results May Vary - Worst Album Ever Made? 

I love Limp Bizkit more than water and oxygen

Some quick context. "Hot Dog" is supposed to be a diss track towards Trent Reznor who said Limp Bizkit sucks in an interview. Fred wanted to interpolate "Closer" as a middle finger to Trent. The irony there is now Trent makes royalties and has a writing credit on "Hot Dog" lol

this is why you're the GOAT, you continue to make some of the best content on the platform for nothing but the passion of the craft

Results May Vary is an interesting analisis of Fred Durst mind during 2003 because he was dealing with many unresolved issues from his high school years mixed with the hatred and criticisms from LB peak years. Meanwhile, in Phenomenom and Cream (Radio Is Dead) Fred try to appears being happy with the success of his band, but in reality he was not happy at all. Losing Wes Borland was a huge blow for Limp Bizkit, but i guess Fred Durst's own midlife crisis affected more the recording of the album.

I’m pretty sure that Hot Dog isn’t ripping off closer, but is a Trent Reznor diss

Unironically you are the only music reviewer I actively listen to & enjoy, you're so open minded & understanding unlike everyone else who's pretentious & act like they know everything... I've been watching you for years & just started to rewatch WAEM episodes, so this is perfect! Love your content, keep it up!!

that riff in the intro to "nookie" is sooo bad ass

What better way to ring in Wrestlemania season than with "WWE'S FAVORITE BAND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD" !? (I still think "My Way" will forever be iconic, as it was tied to the best Mania of all time. It was indeed a time and a place. Awesome work as always, CM!!!)

I wonder how many times fred durst has watched fight club since his initial 28 viewings as stated in "Livin' It Up"

Limp Bizkit: makes Lonely World Garrett: LOL so school sucks. Grow a damn pair of balls.

the level of effort on your videos is insanely high every time. also, bonus points for saying that the "behind blue eyes" cover is overhated.

I lucked out in 2000, when I scooped the limited edition double vinyl Lp of Chocolate Starfish a very rare grail today

Was not expecting this to be a double-review alongside Chocolate Starfish. A remarkably incredible plot twist! :D

one misconception that always annoys me is the running idea that the columbine situation was caused by bullying or "two kids that were suffering". They were the bullys and were known to have picked on other kids a lot, as well as having a fair few amount of friends. They were just sociopaths who did what they did because they desired to do so, it's not a "revenge against bullies" situation and it always bugs the hell out of me when people push that false narrative

JOKES ASIDE, there really are some bops here! made me feel 8 years old again. i looked in my closet and said "i think it's time to break out the tracksuit"

Not sure if anyone knows about this but there's a bootleg album called Smelly Beaver that has all the songs that Wes contributed to before leaving Limp Bizkit that would've gone into Results May Vary, including Crack Addict

Results May Vary is far from the worst album ever. It's actually underrated and aged well. It stands out from the other albums. It should have been a two disk album because there's over 10 songs that didn't make the CD but it's out there online as a B-Side album all songs were meant for Results May Vary. I love RMV, my biggest complaint was that "Crack Addict" didn't make it on there which was a great song they haven't performed since 2003 at Wrestlemania 19. It would have been known as one of their biggest songs ever had it got a big budget video.

An hour? I’ve never been more afraid.

Much respect to Chocolate Starfish for selling one million copies in its first week despite having one of the *worst* album covers I've ever seen... I still can't believe Kid Rock got into the WWE Hall of Fame and not their "favorite band". (not to mention Motorhead and Cindi Lauper, who were also far more deserving)

Every Limp Bizkit album should be titled “Set Your Expectations Accordingly”.

I'm saving this video for when I get home and can REALLY take it in.

See the reason why I watch you is that you genuinely take this seriously. Thank you for taking these albums seriously beyond "haha limp bizkit bad". I don't think these albums are that great but there's something there

Fun Fact: "Red Light Green Light" was released just after Snoop Dogg said he was going to stop putting down women in his lyrics to set a better example to his kids, but yet there was a quote in his part of that song that went, "We like to drink, Talk s--t and *spit at b----es*". Needless to say, the whole quitting smoking weed PR stunt that happened recently was not the first time Snoop Dogg was labeled as a hypocrite.....

You know. This series has made me reconsider several artists and albums that I had written off and learn to appreciate or even love them. That absolutely didn't happen with Limp Bizkit but when I saw the episode I thought it might for a second.

You covered Chris-chans music, I wondered if you'd ever think about covering another lolcows music like king cobra JFS.

He finally did it...

I would never listen to a limp bizcuit record. And then Garrett comes in with TWO!? I'm done 😅

We are so back Ps. Wes Borland is hella underrated, he has made the chunkiest riff of the 90's and 2000's. Also, Here are Suggestions for albums: Diabły wzywają - Czarci Świt The slamburglars - cookie monstrosity (You can thank Rate Your Music for these picks) Would be cool if we got some extreme metal on here, even though its kinda hard to find bad albums (since almost all of them are gems).

I personally put Limp Bizkit in the same category as Insane Clown Posse when it comes to artists that get way more hate than they deserve

I've never clicked on a video so fast

love you cactus man, this series is my favorite on YT. not a priority suggestion but if you could ever get around to putting danse manatee by animal collective on the WAEM wheel that'd be pretty cool ♥

You know, one thing I've come to love about your channel since I discovered it is how it doesn't matter how unusual or even unpleasant a song might sound, it's always worth analyzing for what it is, as long as it's trying to SAY something... And that pairs really well, I think, with you tearing into this album for how it (for a good chunk of its runtime at least) isn't saying anything. It feels like an ACTUAL critical analysis instead of just dogpiling on something that's already hated, and that is a feat in and of itself when it comes to Limp Bizkit

EIGHT YEARS CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!

I love all Limp Bizkit, including this album. But yeah, I understand why people hate it.

Limp bizkit is one of the worst bands I’ve ever listened to but I never fail to enjoy it, it’s just a bunch of dudes having fun and I enjoy that greatly

I love your vids man! Made with loads of care and incredibly funny. Keep it up, dude! :D

Excellent review dude ! Thanks for doing that :)

Man i just wanna say even if you don't have like an insanely big following this is some of my favorite content on youtube and that fact that you hit 8 years doing this is so sick, congrats!

I listened to all the albums again recently, and I noticed a bit of a trend: Fred seems to blame anyone but himself for anything going wrong in his life or relationships.

15 times listening to Limp Biskit…..I would not survive.

Your channel name is so irresistibly repeatable. I've been saying it multiple times per minute since I've read it. Cactus Malpractice. Awesome.

Weird thing is I've listened to the demos from 'results may vary' and many of them are so much better than what we got. "all around the world, they know me" as a lyric came from a much better track from their demos, why it was switched out is beyond me.

As a music snob myself who also was into limp b tothe i z k i t in junior high, im surprised you didnt mention their testosterone infused maiden album, the classic "three dolla bill, y'all" Also, you should check out this short film fred and wes made a few years back now that theyre friends in their more mature years. It seems like fred is much smarter than most would ever believe. Id be willing to bet hes been committed to portraying a character all along in what would be one of the most epic trolls of all time. I think the short is still on youtube pretty sure its called "The Truth"...highly recommend for any childhood fanboy of limp. Its a vey nice character arc for fred.

That was one of the Disco Elephants in the intro there.

There's 4 B-Sides from this record called Lean On Me, Relentless, Poison Ivy & When It Rains, How all didn't make the record shocks me. I'll be honest in saying RMV is a record I spin often and call and all time fav. It's been with me through multiple different states of mind and LB as a whole is a perfect band for that due to the variety in their song subjects. Interesting thing about the back story of this record. If you watch the MTV making of Documentary (Great insight on the creation process) you get a good view of Fred during the making of. He had a relationship scandal with Britney Spears during the recording and it likely inspired a lot of the lyrical content. Another one is Underneath The Gun lyrically was written when Fred had only 24 hours left to write lyrics for a song before big tour so the stress and emotion is very real on it.

Listening to Limp Bizkit albums 30 times is a Guantanamo Bay level of torture.

You will always be one of my all time favorite RU-vidrs. Happy 8 years :)

An hour long video about Limp Bizkit? Fuck yeah, sign me up. Also this channel deserve to be WAY bigger than it is, love the videos.

I’m glad you’re still making videos. You’re a great content creator, bro. I’ve watched your videos during some hard times. Keep up the positivity, man.

I like this in-depth content and your descriptions of the music!! Good work!!

Dropped this right on time for my lunch break. Welcome back, sir.

The phrase "considered Limp Bizkit's best album" sounds a lot like "the best type of cancer to contract".

I think Limb Bizkit is underrated in a lot of aspects and I'm glad there's been a big reevaluation of nu metal as of late. Take A Look Around is one of my favorite songs of all time and Break Stuff is an all timer for Best Angsty Teenager song. It's a group of dorks having fun making music to party to. Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish are both legitimate classics in my eyes and belong next to Toxicity as high water marks of the genre. Great work as always man 👍

5:40 i screamed when he said he was gonna do TCSATHFW at the same time as RMV. _GARRETT I GODDAMN LOVE YOU!_

Do you use a microphone for your videos? Just curious. Great video my dood.

I actually think that this album is really underrated, i am kinda sad that they didn't officially released the b-sides from the album, beacuse they slap so hard!

Thanks for this video. I'm a long time Bizkit enjoyer but I've been avoiding RMV until recently because I was in the "no Wes no party" boat, and I have to admit, it has surprised me, a few of the tracks have stuck with me, yet I believe that some of these songs, despite how good they are, just don't "belong" to LB or more specially Fred's writing and singing style. But I'm happy they made them, even knowing they probably won't make something similar ever again. Next I have to give a chance to The Unquestionable Truth EP

just in time for my hour break between classes. thank you Dr. Malpractice

Subscribed 1 minute in! Amazing in depth analysis. Some people just look at the cover art and see the name Limp Bizkit and call the album crap when there are a few hidden gems on Results.

For better or worse, without Limp Bizkit, I don't think I'd be the person I am today. That being said, even back when this album first came out I never liked it.

This video did what I thought was impossible and made me actually appreciate Limp Bizkit as a band and not a punchline. I went in expecting your typical "limp bizkit BAD" review that just clowns on them the entire time, but I left with a newfound appreciation for an artist I had never really given a fair chance. I can't say I *like* them now, but I can say that this was a great reminder to try new things and keep an open mind! 100% worth the wait and happy 8 years!

I know Bizkit is the easy target low hanging fruit, but there's no way anyone could legitimately call this the worse album of all time.

Here’s the thing. First of I think you should’ve looked into the background of making of this record or if you have you should’ve referenced it. With Borland out all the pressure fell on Durst and he was the one who was supposed to make it work. So many of the songs were written by him with some help from Mike and other people in the industry and the band of course. With that came a lot of frustration and uncertainty and if anything it’s probably the band’s most genuine record since their first album. Because with significant other and chocolate starfish the band has become a kind of hype up band. It wasn’t much about personal experiences of Fred. So the album is what he was experiencing at the time, on one hand it’s Borland leaving and all the problems it caused with the hate towards Fred in general mixed in there and on the other hand Fred still felt fortunate for being in a position he was with millions of fans and all the success. I think this is where “I’m underneath the gun” the pressure and the hate, and “I’m underneath the sun” how truly lucky he was with his overall success. It’s not a song just about *uicide. That’s the duality of the record mixed in with the fact that Fred still had to account for what the band’s fan base wanted to hear. So on one hand he had to put up a facade that he was happy and on the other hand he was happy in many ways because he was truly successful in his career. And he had to think that he could pull it off without Wes and in some moments he did feel like it was possible… so I wouldn’t say those happy moments were all fake. it’s conflicting emotions he is a person after all. Confidence comes and goes. In terms of lyrics Fred was never really good at it and it isn’t Bizkit’s selling point really so to address lyrical context as much as you did really doesn’t make much sense to me. Which is why I feel like Lonely World, Creamer, Almost over are some of the band’s best tracks on the record. If it flows it flows… LB is not a band with lyrics that need to be dissected in hopes to find a deeper meaning. I am not a big fan of rap really but Red Light Green light always felt dope to me. Repetitive lyrics really don’t take away much from the sound in any of their tracks… look at modern trap or pop space repetitiveness is where it’s at. If anything Fred was ahead of his time in that regard… some see it as lazy writing I see it as if it flows let it flow. “All that easy” has amazing atmosphere and instrumental is great. Eat you alive is of course a fantasy and definitely has a place on the record… and I actually do like the music video. Overall I feel like your point of view is very subjective and uninformed. There was a special on MTV for the making of this record and it really peels back the curtain of what was going on and at no point do you reference that. It’s just pretty clear what was going on during the making of this record yet you draw no parallels between that and how the album ended up sounding in the end.

I remember being in the 6th grade at my basketball game. My best friend didn't play basketball, but he was sitting in the stands next to my mom. After the game, I went up in the stands to them, and he handed me a CD of Chocolate Starfish. We were huge Limp Bizkit fans, and I had no idea this album was a thing. He gave me the CD and told me to take it home and listen. The rest they say... well... the rest... is history.

LIMP BIZKIT IS FUCKING TRASH I LOVE THEM

I forgot how freaking awesome this CD was especially the last track

Is it just my phone or is this video going in and out of focus?

I fucking love Limp Bizkit. You had to be there at the time. Being a fan was sticking it to everyone and not giving a fuck. And all the hate that the music industry was giving them was hilarious given that no one could stop them from being one the biggest bands in the world at the time. I’m still Limpin’ with the Biscuit in 2024. Thanks for the vid, it was fun to relive those feelings from back in those days.

May i suggest "United We Doth" by PFFR, huge fan of their TV output, struggling to listen to it

What if you reviewed that U2 album they forced on everyone who updated their iPhone that one time? I don’t know anyone who liked that one

hey buddy you need to adjust the aperture on your camera its having a hard time keeping you in focus, maybe turn the autofocus off and dial it in

The fact you didn't post this on Fred Durst Friday shows you lack culture.

Also, I have on suggestion for a WAEM and it is quite an odd one. This album is called Virtual Erase and it is from James Ferraro. It is quite possibly the most alien and unique sounding album I have ever heard in my entire life, and I would love to hear your thoughts about it!

I am not a fan of Limp Bizkit but I agree with you, My Way worked perfectly in the build up to Wrestlemania 17 back then and the video with Austin/Rock footage brings back great memories.

Amazing work! Also appreciate you give CSatHFW a review too, it was one of those albums with a place in the back of my head during high school. (side note, I did a little vid for your song "Garbage to a Corkboard" if interested in checking it out, cheers!)

THE TIME HAS COME

48:00 Rollin' urban assault vehicle was actually the original version of rollin', then came wes and created a guitar riff and the "original" rollin' was made

Album I recently found that may legitimately be the worst I’ve ever heard (and is also pretty obscure): “There is Something Wrong” by Aftermath. I rate music on AOTY and it’s one of the few dead-drop zeroes I’ve ever given an album. It’s hard to do it justice but basically imagine your drunk uncle at thanksgiving ranting about how the government is run by lizard people, put it over some of the worst thrash metal ever made, and then add an additional dash of random confusing bs for no reason. I seriously think it could beat some of the albums that are currently on your wall of shame lol

I am so proud to have called this gentleman my boss at one point. What an awesome video!

I hit "like" as soon as your videos start... just putn that out there.

Great video ! The real story of how Rollin was made is producer Swizz Beats came up with the beat for what is now called the remix and Fred asked the band to make a rock version of it. It's in a 2008 Kerrang interview with Wes Borland, in which he also admits they got sued over "Getcha Groove On". He was still bitter about the band back then and talking mad sh*t. From what I remember he said "Rollin" was like "a kids song" that "straight up sucked". A year later they reunited and the interview was scraped off the internet (as far as i know).

You haven't convinced me that LB is an entertaining band, but your review is enlightening, insightful and respectful as usual.

Nightmares of the decomposed by Six Feet Under!!! One of the worst albums out there, it’s awesome!

I know this is kinda off-topic but ive been looking for the track "eat you alive" for over a decade ever since i first heard a midi of it in a friends doom wad (no one knew the real songs title it just sounded cool). this is my first time hearing the real one so thanks i guess!

It's funny. I really couldn't care less about Limp Bizkit but I love your thoughtful & insightful delivery. Great job brother. Oddly enough my brother is dragging me to see them this summer on the Loserville tour @ the PNC Arts Center in NJ. This kinda' makes me a little excited for it! Keep up the stellar reviews.

"My Way" definitely was the best choice for this Wrestlemania. It also encapsulates this specific period of time. The song is just such a mood.

IMO Fred's film 'The Fanatic' is his magnum opus, more than making up for the audio assault that he forced on us. I don't expect him not to ruin shit again. He likely will.

I agree so much with Getcha groove on, i always loved the og version and it's irritating that they replaced it with the inferior version on spotify, this is why i still have a cd player 😂 i love banging this album in my car, cruising to My way and Rollin' never gets old, love that guitar tone on Take a look around too, it's really nice and refreshing to see someone review LB with a level head not just for the purpose of hating them for the sake of it like most people seem to do Great review my man, subbed.

Your videos are amazing and always are amazing! Keep it up my chocolate starfish 😘

Can't wait for the MS Paint track titles!

Were Type O Negative not mad at LB for using their green?

Now I have been asking for this album to be on this show for a decently long time. That being Find the Courage to Feel by That vegan teacher, which is an album infamous for bad singing, bad songwriting and some offensive lyrics (especially a track that is comparing the suffering of Animals to the death of George Floyd)

Very thorough Very thorough Very thorough comparison ive always liked the band. Appreciate you not censoring certain words for "monetization "

Scott Weiland (rest in peace) was the singer of Stone Temple Pilots and other namable bands such as velvet revolver (guns n roses.) he was not an instrumentalist on Hold On, he was a vocalist.

I was excited when this video popped up in my feed, and thought “One hour? Well that explains the wait. He went all out for this one!” …and now I’m coming to terms with the fact that I now have to listen to Chocolate Starfish. Thanks Garrett…but anyway! Instrumentally this album is actually great. A bit generic in places sure, but with the exception of Phenomenon and the bad idea of replacing the jam session in the original Behind Blue Eyes with that stale, bizarre aforementioned Speak-And-Spell thing this album is a great piece of nu metal chugging. This album would be amazing if Durst wasn’t on it. I’m sorry. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and went in thinking the hate was overhyped. OH MY GOD Everything from his delivery always being either lackluster or over the top, to his out of tune singing, to the Federline level rhyme scheme. There is next to nothing redeeming about this album vocally outside of the Snoop feature. BOARD OF SHAME SPOILERS BELOW That being said I agree with the album not being on the board. The album isn’t even in the top 15 of my own list. A vocal mess? Yes. A terrible album? Not as much as you might think

Cromagnon - Orgasm (1969) is an ANOMALY. Definitely worth checking out.

I wish cactus malpractice was my dad. By the way id love to recommend some music from my band if you're interested.

I purchased off ebay a movie called The fanatic Directed by fred durst about an Autistic John Travolta being a stalker. Dunno how that movie night is gonna pan out when it arrives lol

One album that i would love you to cover but it's also hard to talk about by... multiple reasons is Eternal Enemies by Emmure, a band that has always been a laughing stock within the metalcore and deathcore genre and that apparently, every member but lead singer Frankie Palmeri quitted the band right after it got released

I can assure you, angelic to the core is the one. you can quit searching.
