Key Album Details (2003)

Results May Vary is a fascinating snapshot of 2003 rock music. While it was a deviation from the band's earlier sound, it is a deeply personal, experimental album that deserves a second look—especially in high-fidelity.

This isn’t just another MP3 rip from a decade-old CD. This represents the pinnacle of how Fred Durst, John Otto, Sam Rivers, and (critically) guitarist Mike Smith intended you to hear this transitional masterpiece.
