Limp Bizkit: The Rise & Fall In 10 Songs

2. Let It Go

FALL

After Wes Borland left the band in 2001, Limp Bizkit was forced to soldier on without their signature musician. However, with Fred Durst's stint at celebrity and the band welcoming the young Snot guitarist, Mike Smith, into the mix, things weren't gelling like they had previously.

The new line up performed at WrestleMania XIX with additional support from Korn guitarist, Brian ‘Head’ Welch, and penned seventeen new tracks to create their least significant album to date, Results May Vary.

The album isn’t all that bad and provided a couple of songs welcome to fans of their live performances. However, the album’s final track, Let It Go, really ends the album on a stale note.

Let It Go solely addresses Borland's messy departure from the band a few year’s prior. However, with lyrics such as ‘I believed you to be a true friend… but you never cared,’ this song feels a lot less of a diss track by the likes of NWA, and instead, comes across as a whinge and really not something fans of older Limp Bizkit wanted to hear.
