The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) is the first EP and fifth major release overall by American metal band Limp Bizkit, released on May 2, 2005, through Flip and Geffen Records. Produced by Ross Robinson, it was the first release by the band since Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water (2000) to feature guitarist Wes Borland, who rejoined the band in August 2004 following a three-year absence. Drummer John Otto was absent for much of its production, and Sammy Siegler took over drumming duties for the band.
The EP differs from the band's established sound and lyrical subject matter by focusing on darker subjects and featuring a heavier, more experimental sound. Its lyrics focus on subjects such as propaganda, Catholic sex abuse cases, terrorism and fame. Released without advertising and promotion, The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) sold 37,000 copies during its first week in the United States, peaking at No. 24 on the Billboard 200. Reviews were mixed, but Borland's return to the band was praised, as was the new musical direction, which was considered to be ambitious.
After the release of the full-length album Gold Cobra in 2011, Limp Bizkit signed with Cash Money Records in early 2012. They had planned to release a sequel, titled The Unquestionable Truth (Part 2). However, the band left Cash Money Records in 2014, and never finished the sequel. The band eventually released the full-length album Still Sucks in 2021 instead.
