In 2014, Davis spoke about the nu metal label, saying: 'I've always rejected Korn's pigeonholing into some kind of genre that we helped create. It seems like when a band comes out and we do something new and something different, that's all great. When a whole bunch of bands jump on the bandwagon and start copying what that one band did, then it gets called something and those bands are cheap knockoffs of what the original thing was.

Association with heavy metal. 'After Korn's 'Follow the Leader' blew the whole movement into orbit in 1998, nu-metal produced some ridiculous bands, to be sure. And to be fair, plenty of them dwelled in the realms of corny rap-rock and dull alternative radio rock with the occasional heavy riff or tendency to scream, making their designation as 'metal' quite dubious indeed. but the movement also produced plenty of heavier bands with primarily metal influences'.

So there are elements of the band that are metal, there are elements of the band that are pop, there are elements that are electronic, and hip-hop as well. And we've kind of always felt like we weren't bound to just one genre. So after we made ' and ', we really wanted to take risks beyond what we had already done on those first two records, creatively, and show the world that we can do a lot more than just make nu-metal songs.'

The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) is the fifth studio album by Limp Bizkit. Released in 2005, it is the first release by the band to feature guitarist Wes Borland, as he had left the band in 2001, and a previous album, Results May Vary, was recorded without him. However, drummer John Otto was absent for much of the album, and Sammy Siegler took over drumming duties for the band.

The album differs from the band's established sound and lyrical subject matter by focusing on darker subjects and featuring a more experimental sound. The album's lyrics focus on subjects such as Catholic sex abuse cases, terrorism and fame. While the album was released without advertising and promotion, The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide, peaking at #24 on the Billboard 200. However, reviews were mixed. Borland's return to the band was generally appraised, as was the new musical direction, which was considered to be ambitious. Criticisms were aimed at Fred Durst's lyrics and performance.
