The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) is the fifth album by Limp Bizkit, released on May 3, 2005 internationally and a day later in North America. It has been referred to as a "mini-album" or an "EP". A video of the band playing the album's second song, "The Truth", can be found on their website. The title suggests that there will be a sequel to the EP. The album marked a departure from the more mainstream sound that the band was known for and also pulled back a lot on the hip hop aspect that gained the band much notoriety in their early years. Unfortunately, the 7-track EP also marked a further slide away from that mainstream recognition, opening to abysmal first week sales and a debut at #24 on the Billboard 200 (Results May Vary peaked at number 3). Much debate has been aroused as to whether this is because the CD was not highly advertised and poorly promoted by both the band and the record company, or whether it is simply indicative of the declining popularity; specifically, the declining popularity of Limp Bizkit, and the nu-metal genre.

Even more odd was the fact that no single was released from the record (although there was talk of a fan-picked single, and voting even occurred, none was ever released). The band did not tour for the album either, or play any live shows.

The Unquestionable Truth also marked the return of eccentric guitarist Wes Borland. Borland, known for stage costumes such as full body paint and a full body ape costume and for signaturizing the deep 7-string guitar sound that dominated much of the late 90's and early 00's. Borland had been absent since the 2000 release of Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water which was visible in the sales of 2003's Results May Vary. Fred Durst has stated on the band's MySpace page that Borland only returned to the band on the condition that the band's label, Geffen, would promise to support, promote, release, his new solo effort Black Light Burns, though there is no proof of this. Borland did part ways with Geffen in 2006, because apparently the label wasn't taking Black Light Burns seriously.

Ironically, where this album marked a return for Limp Bizkit's original guitarist, later that summer the band Korn, who had been contemporary with Bizkit, lost one of their first guitarists, Brian "Head" Welch after he became religious and rejected the lifestyle that the band pursued. One of the key differences between this and other Limp Bizkit albums was the constant serious tone of the lyrics. While their earlier albums had upbeat songs like "Rollin'" and "N 2 Gether Now", The Unquestionable Truth stays adamant on its message. This article is about the band. ...

Another issue kept out of the public eye that is only touched upon through the dics's Enhanced Video content is the troubles drummer John Otto went through during this time. Otto was battling some sort of drug addiction, and in fact, only one song on the album, "The Channel", was written with him. For the other songs, Rival Schools drummer Sammy Siegler was hired to do work on them. Though Otto beat his addiction, and is now back in the band fulltime, this caused some tension between himself and guitarist Wes Borland for some reason, and may have contributed in part to Borland leaving the band. John Everett Otto (born March 22, 1977 in Jacksonville, Florida) is the drummer and an original member of the band Limp Bizkit. ...
