Results May Vary is the fourth studio album by the American rap rock band Limp Bizkit. Released on September 23, 2003, it is the band's only release under the sole-leadership of vocalist Fred Durst after the temporary departure of guitarist Wes Borland, who left the band in 2001. Snot guitarist Mike Smith was initially brought in to replace Borland, although the band's falling-out with Smith later lead to his departure, with much of the material recorded with him being discarded from the final release. Durst and a number of guests ended up handling the majority of the album's guitar-work.

The album differed from Limp Bizkit's established sound up until that point; although the album still featured elements of nu metal, rap rock and rap metal, like their prior releases, it also branched out into other musical styles including alternative rock, acoustic and jazz. It also featured less rapping, and more introspective lyrics related to heartbreak, bullying, and self-pity. An alleged affair with Britney Spears by Durst (denied by Spears) during collaborating sessions for her 2003 album In the Zone, and resulting rejection by Spears, was cited as an inspiration for some of the album's material as well.

To promote the album, music videos featuring high-profile actresses were created for "Eat You Alive" and "Behind Blue Eyes"; the former featuring Thora Birch and the latter featuring Halle Berry. Upon release, Results May Vary peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and sold at least 325,000 copies in its first week of being released. While the album still eventually went platinum, both the debut and lifetime sales were still well below prior albums Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. Results May Vary sold at least 1,337,356 copies in the United States. The album received mostly negative critical reception as well.
