Was Fred Durst inspired by Metallica's St Anger to take Limp Bizkit's music in a different direction on their 2003 release Results May Vary?

Maybe it was simply the departure of guitarist Wes Borland but when Limp Bizkit postponed the release of their album shortly after Lars Ulrich had played a handful of St Anger songs for the man in the red hat, he and Kirk Hammett speculated whether or not their music had an influence on Durst:

"I have a suspicion that once this album drops and people hear it everywhere, I just have this suspicion that bands are gonna get heavier and start playing faster again... I just have a suspicion that they are...

I'll tell you one thing... Lars played Fred Durst four songs of our new album and the next week Fred Durst postponed the release of the new LIMP BIZKIT album and started rewriting it. Lars and I were talking about it, 'Did he postpone it because he wasn't satisfied with it or did he postpone it because he heard our direction and wanted to be contemporary with it?' It's interesting. We'll see." - Hammett, Metallica's Hammett Explains Why There Are No Guitar Solos..., Blabbermouth (Jun 9, 2003)
