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

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) I loved you once... [Rating: 3 out of 5]
It all seems to be standard, somewhat predictable, angry metal. There are a few surprises though -Privilege, Pardon Me, Drive, Clean and I Miss You.The rest is OK. Nothing groundbreaking, but it is a decent release from a genuinely good Rock band. Yes, I said Rock. I consider them one of the few REAL Rock bands left! ^_^bBy far not a bad release...Cover Art: A-Inside Art: N/A (Don't recall it.

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 the best that Incubus has written.3) Make Yourself [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This album is great. Awesome music...cool to hear Incubus still scratching on their albums...they kind of lost that in the newest albums,Favorite Songs:-Privelege-Stellar-Make Yourself-Drive-Pardon Me4) An Incubus lovers dream come true [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Of all the Incubus albums released, "Make Yourself" is pure genius. It is wll written and the music is what we all have come to expect from them. All in all, this is one album I would recomend any music lover have in their collection.5) Thilthy and Awesome [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This album is far dirtier, but not to be confused with darker, than I imagined it would be. For that I am very greatful and this album rules! However, there are other reasons this is great. Sure, I love the song Make Yourself, but there are other sides of this, too. There is no song quite as thrashing as Megalomaniac here but there is also no song as lame as Circles here. What it does have is thooughtful hits like Drive. It also has weird techno-style artwork, sweet turntable action (especially in it's own scratch track Battle...), an infectious voice, some dirty lyrics, and singable lyrics like "you better not blink or breathe cuz you never know what's commin' around the bend". Most of all, more lively than the follow-up to this (Morning View).
