Almost a year and a half after Results May Vary featuring replacement guitarist: Mike Smith, Limp Bizkit releases a brand new album dubbed The Unquestionable Truth, Pt. 1. Although there has been a lot of animosity and hate generated recently toward Limp Bizkit, they have not given up. The new album, produced by Geffen Records features the returning skills of guitarist Wes Borland. Fred Durst made it clear that he did not want to advertise this album. The reason, to generate more fans. Having been entirely recorded in Prague, this album sports a dark tone. Having a slight Rage Against The Machine feel to it, the lyrical style of Fred Durst and heavy guitars of Wes Borland all meddle together to form that distinct sound Limp Bizkit is (in) famously known for. The dark, melodic tunes oozing from Wes’ guitar heavily influence the majority of this album. He is back and this album proves it. Although the majority of the album consists of choler-filled songs; two songs, one being an interlude, are relatively slow in pace. The first single The Truth is a perfect portrayal of the new style they are employing. One thing that brings attention is the significantly short length of this album. Lasting a mere 29:41 may be enough to dissuade the average listener/purchaser. Although the second part of this album is scheduled for release later this year, this may not be enough to attract the attention it deserves. Although a partially sly marketing maneuver, it may not effectively work. The fact that Fred is releasing the second part later this year may either yield more fans or fail to achieve the desired effect. This could also create the opportunity to assemble a dual disc set once both are released, creating an increase in market revenue. Since the release of this new album, hype for the second disc has considerably risen. This album will most likely generate a new wave of Limp Bizkit fans. Wes Borland's distinctive playing style can easily be recognized and Fred Durst's lyrics carry the same groove. Either you like Fred or you don’t. This CD has alot less "yodeling-rap" than usual. One song is followed by brief marching chant. Limp Bizkit always includes tunes done entirely by DJ Lethal and Lethal is considered by some to be one of the most talented DJ's out there today. There is no Intro or Outro track on this album. Sam Rivers does an excellent job on the bass in the song: The Truth. The rest of the album doesn't feature complicated chords but how much can a bass player accomplish over Wes' loud riffs? John Otto going into rehab halfway through recording the album, allowed him to play solely on The Channel but fill-in Sammy Sieglar does a spectacular job creating the necessary beats for each song. This album does not focus entirely on Fred's lyrics or Wes' heavy guitar riffs but on getting a point across and creating music the way it should be. Musically, this is one of Limp Bizkit's best albums but lyrically, it could have been a whole lot better. It all really depends on whether you are into the seemingly deep, meaningful lyrics or not. Although Fred's lyrics try to be deep, they do not always make sense. This album gets you hooked each time you pop it in the CD player. The more, the better.Read full review
This album is different then the other Limp Bizkit albums they put out before it. It takes a little getting used to but it does grow on you. Not as good as Significant other or Chocolate Starfish in my opinion. Its short with only seven tracks. Best tracks are The Priest and The Truth.

This is Limp Bizkit's latest cd, most of the songs played in drop b. Very low sound to it and great. This is a whole new sound of theirs, and it sounds great. This is the last cd from Limp Bizkit that will feature Wes Borland and it's hopefully not the last from Limp Bizkit. These songs are truly amazing, they capture different aspects of life and bring them to one record. I hope they come out with a part 2.
Limp Bizkit came back, well tried, this album wasn't one of there better ones. Fred Durst is either trying to show diversity, trying to change, or get back to what he used to be, either way- it's not cuttin' it for this album. Limp Bizkit either didn't think this album thorough or they didn't care enough to make it what it should have or could have been. I wouldn't buy this (if i hadn't already) nor would i say that this should be a part of the Limp Bizkit dicography. I didnt give it a poor rating because there are some good vocals and the instruments are good too. but i wouldn't give it anything higher than a below average rating. To all wondering, dont bother getting it or listening to it, you'll probably just get mad. i did!
this record might not excite all limp bizkit fans unless their ready to hear a darker more political side of fred durst with wes borland back and a temporary replacement drummer while origanal drummer john otto recovers from addiction even if you are a fan of old school limp bizkit you may find yourself listening to this album and really likeing it and with this and all limp bizkit albums you will love it or hate it either way fred durst still knows how to tell it as he sees it through music.this cd is only 7 tracks but thats all fred needs to get his point across.
