Advantages: Mellow metal, amazing song writing
Disadvantages: #10

It was only recently that I first heard of Incubus. They had a couple of songs put on a bodyboarding video that I received for my birthday. So I took the first chance I had to go out and buy their album, 'Make Yourself', which they released in 1999 on Epic / Immortal Records. One of the tracks on the video, was #12 'Pardon Me'. This remains as one of my favourite song on the CD. It has a little bit of everything. Tempo goes up and down. Bits are ... Read review

Advantages: Original, good lyrics, some excellent songs
Disadvantages: Maybe not quite as distinquished as other bands breaking into the UK music industry, such as Papa Roach

...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 ... Read review

Advantages: really nice sounding

...thats different every album and make your self is not an exception. The succesfulness of s.c.i.e.n.c.e. brought incubus into the light the most and this is when they began to get alot more popular.

Advantages: Everything you could ever want in rock music, for the price of one CD
Disadvantages: Not enough tracks, and the instrumental track is only medicore.

Incubus.....Who are they? A band derived from the finest metal/hip hop/funk crossover there ever was or ever will be. There latest album "make yourself" is a testament to there achievements stateside. An album of pure brilliance. Its a 13 track hour of rock bliss.

I want to make this clear. I am not a fan of rock rap. I do not like Korn, nor do I like Slipnot, Dope, Chevell, ICP, Limp Bizkit, Southtown, or any of the other half- assed conversion bands there are. I puke when I hear sentences staring with "Rock-rap" Or "It like Korn, except," or even "I did it all.." Knowing this you might be surprised that I have fallen in love with "Make Yourself",the 3rd album by Funk-rock group incubus. What makes this ... Read review

Incubus appear to be the metal future at present. Ok, so there's all this fantastic new genre going round calling itself nu-metal, but, what about those who just don't sympathise with rich metallers screaming at nothing? Well, that's why we have Incubus. Make Yourself is a fantastic album which can be appreciated by anyone who listens to even the softest of metal. It is a generally relaxed, angst free and meaningful album, full of inspired thoughts ... Read review
