Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0074646365229 Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 63652 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: October 26, 1999 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Young, aggro, and from Los Angeles--it's tempting to put Incubus in the already crowded category populated by Korn, System of a Down, and their other loud and heavy brethren. But that would sell Incubus short, because Make Yourself, the quintet's sophomore album, is a strong progression beyond their 1997 debut, S.C.I.E.N.C.E.. More like Faith No More than Limp Bizkit, Incubus still have that teen-mosh appeal, though the songwriting and instrumentation on Make Yourself is diverse and thoughtful, both lyrically and musically. "Drive" is an easygoing, slightly trippy acoustic-based outing, while oddball scratching (courtesy of DJ Chris Kilmore) and trip-hop funkiness make "Battlestar Scralatchtica" aptly titled. "Nowhere Fast" is vaguely 311-ish with a reggae tinge and lovely melodic interludes, in contrast to the furious intensity of "Out from Under," which gives Make Yourself a surprisingly cohesive diversity that's hard to categorize. Ultimately, singer Brandon Boyd is not a vocal genius, but lyrically and in performance, he's sensitive, charismatic, and unique. Ditto for the 13 cuts that make up Make Yourself. --Katherine Turman Album Description: Includes an enhanced component. Album Details: Includes an Enhanced Component. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of my Top 5I was just asked to list my Top 5 CD's of all time, and this is one of them. So, i thought i'd add a review. Not a whole lot i can say except to me - this is the best of the best. Incubus is awesome, and IMO this is their best. LOVE IT. Rating: - Possibly their best...I've had this album since it came out, and I must say it is aging spectacularly. The sound of the songs as well as the lyrical content are just as strong and just as relevant now as they were when written. I love all of Incubus's albums, but this is my personal favorite. SCIENCE is great, but this was a good change. It loses most of the funk, but rocks pretty hard and has a more professional and polished sound. The music is awesome, and Brandon's lyrics are deep and thought-provoking. They convey ...

If you're new to Incubus or played Guitar Hero 1, I guess this is a decent place to start. Some fans say that this is where the band "sold out," even if that's not the case at all. Incubus has become more "radio-friendly" from this record on, but the quality of their music hasn't diminished one bit. With "Make Yourself," the band further refined its sound and put out their most consistent ... Read More Rating: - One of their better offerings.This was the CD to bring them totally into the mainstream too, with the first breakout single, that is DRIVE. My favorite songs, in no order are: WHEN IT COMES DRIVE I MISS YOU MAKE YOURSELF CONSEQUENCE THE WARMTH 4.5 Stars. Rating: - My favorite Incubus cd.This is the ultimate Incubus album because it has the best mix of all the different elements that make this band. It has some aggressive rockers, some trippier, softer songs, and scratching is prevalent too. Check out the hit songs: "Privilege", "Drive", "Stellar", and "Pardon Me", but really, this is the best of their albums from start to finish. I think there are only two songs I don't care for. "Pardon Me" is one of my favorite songs of the late 90s. To me, that song is ... Read More |
