...this album is truly excellent. incubus is a completely original five-piece band that knows how to rock. the singer brandon strays from the usual screaming and shouting that's all-too familiar in the land of rap-metal which they are native to. he actually sings, raps, and writes some of the best damn lyrics i've ever read.
they blend hard-core riffs into perfectly harmonized vocals, with a side of scratching.
their songs are inventive, as well as addictive. i must admit the first time i heard this album, it was hard to listen to, but i soon found myself unable to put it down, i bought it for the single "new skin," which is a great song... but now i listen to all the songs, especially "vitamin," and "idiot box."
the song "anti-gravity" blends funk with rock in a way i had never heard before.
this band is truly experimental, hence...

Advantages: Some lovely songs, great DVD extra Disadvantages: Not many, some harder to listen to tracks though.
..., full of power and energy.
The song starts up with the evil whispery "Dcypha" which starts off the aggressive style in a perfect way before Sway and Pyrelli start with the song. It is basically a British anthem and I'm sure that if they don't mention every city in the whole of Britain then the city unmentioned is obviously not important enough. I'll give you a sample,
"Birmingham, up your speed,
Nottingham, up your speed,
Please d-d-don't kill anybody now"
Obviously I had to have that bit because it has the mention of that great city Nottingham, I can assure you it isn't as repetitive as going through every city and ending with up your speed, there is also more rap about English things, which I will allow you to listen to yourself.
The combination of Sway and Pyrelli, who have very different accents, is perfect, it gives the song...

Advantages: Some amazing, original tracks Disadvantages: Not to everyone's taste
...a genius. This song is far from everyone's taste, but I love it and if you do love some of the grimier British hip hop then you are bound to like it to. Baby Blue only gets one verse, but she sounds amazing, if only I could rap so fast and still be understood, I would be ecstatic.
8/10
Track 12 - I still don't care ft Sway, Sincere & Pyrelli, SAS and Biggz
What can I say, I love this track, it is very like the 'I don't care track', but more aggressive, different artists, each with a very different style, yet none sounding out of place. The music is still the same, which is good because that was always one of the best factors in the song.
This is probably one of the best songs on the CD, maybe even competing with the beautiful Love Story '05, it is an amazing song with some great artists.
