So what will Limp Bizkit do to launch their next album?
Actually, their next album was released weeks ago, on May 3. That this is news to so many people should tell it all.
There was no celebrity-packed party, no cameras, no tour, no video, no commercials and not even a single interview. Instead, we got a blog. Fred Durst, sitting in front of his computer in his underwear, promoting his music the same way an unsigned 15-year-old might market his latest batch of bedroom recordings, except with messages so vague it's hard to tell if Durst is even writing about Limp Bizkit at all.
In its first week out, The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) (a collection of seven songs with a full-length album's price tag) sold 37,000 copies, according to SoundScan, a dismal showing compared to first-week totals of Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (1,055,000), Significant Other (635,000) and Results May Vary (325,000).
