Full review
Incubus was the band that first really attracted me to the rock scene. Encouraged by a friend I decided to download a few of the songs from Napster. The first song I downloaded was " Make Yourself " and I was instantly hooked. However to make sure the song was not just a one off hit from the album, I also downloaded " Stellar " which is just as good, if not better then " Make Yourself ".
Within a week I had purcahsed the album, and to be honest from the 12 songs which comprise the album, there is only one, maybe two songs that aren't awesome. " Pardon Me ", " Drive " and " I Miss You " are also worthy contenders for song of the album.
To compare Incubus to another group or artist would be a difficult task. Their style and charisma is something owned by no other band and their originality is second to none.
However, dispite the brilliance of this album, it was only really the starting block in my quest to find the best " Rock/Ska " band around. Since hearing Incubus, I have know discovered other bands such as Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Fenix TX, SR71 and Less Then Jake. All of which I believe to have a slight egde over Incubus.
Yet, Incubus are still a top band and in mind opinion deserve more coverage they they receive. Check them out !
