Where they were

Released on September 23, 2003, 'Results May Vary' is Limp Bizkit's fourth studio album, coming after the commercial success of 'Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water' in 2000. At this point in their career, the band faced lineup changes and a shifting musical landscape, leading to a more introspective sound compared to their earlier work.

Why it matters

'Results May Vary' debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and showcased a significant shift in style, drawing mixed reviews that reflected the band's evolving identity. The album's notable single, 'Eat You Alive,' received considerable radio play and represented a transitional phase for nu metal as it began to wane in mainstream popularity.
