Free Music Notes for Make Yourself
Free Music Review: Punchy, Soft, Loud, Smooth, and Everything Under the Sun...
Hit: 5 Stars
Incubus take their busy, maniacle, user-friendly sound (S.C.I.E.N.C.E), and strip it down to something more plausible for the basic ear.
Make Yourself is truely a higher-point in the, "incubus-is-holier-than-thou" parade.
Winding down off of their 1997 release, 'Science' incubus takes there busy-bodied nu-metal album to a softer extreme. Make Yourself takes off with an instantly single worthy track and ends just the same. Every song on the album is easily comprehendable and every bit as radioworthy as the actual released tracks.
The incubus quintet really hit the ball out of the park with this album. Make Yourself could arguably be perfect in every way.
Definitely a starting point for any incubus enthusiast.

Incubus
Make yourself
Incubus really surprised me with their album Make Yourself. I first heard their hit single "Drive" while I was in my car and it really gave me a calming mellow feeling. Their first album S.C.I.E.N.C.E was really kind of offbeat, and was more of a rap mixed with Goth. This album is very different. Their music isn't pop but not quite alternative, I would place it somewhere in the vicinity of rock. Their genre can't really be classified very well; it's a mix of Southern Californian rock with a bit of scratching and obviously doesn't ignore the good old electric guitar. I am positive that Incubus' music has grown since their first two albums, and I definitely like their new sound. They have shown lots of growth through each of their albums and Make Yourself is a great result of that growth. This album is great, not to mention Brandon Boyd's vocals are a treat in their own right. The rhythm, range, and delivery of his vocals are unlike anyone else on the radio today. The rest of the band is composed of three other musical geniuses, Michael Einziger, Alex Katunich, and Jose Pasillas. The album contains 13 songs, but I think only 12 are worth listening to. Songs 8 and 11 are slow ones, and really calm, and the others are fast paced, but not so fast that you want to stop listening. My favorite song on the CD is "Pardon Me" its just one of those songs you want to listen to when you're pissed, it starts off with a slow tempo and then all of a sudden just busts into head banging glory, its just amazing how fast Boyd can sing, and his range in the song is tremendous. The song I avoid is the tenth on the CD, it is considered instrumental but I would more appropriately classify it as boring, but maybe that's just me because I am not really into instrumental all by itself without vocals, so if you like instrumental then go for it. As Boyd says in "Consequence"... "Blink and you miss a beat keep one of your eyes open at all times". So take charge and seriously think about buying Make Yourself, I guarantee that you will love it.

Make Yourself. Incubus became famous. Drive became an anthem. But, it is not a total feat without question. S.C.I.E.N.C.E marked the beginning of a beautiful friendship between Incubus and impecably crafted, a-million-sounds-per-second music. but, Make Yourself is really quite different. it is less about getting a rise from its audience, more about soothing your ears and fears. their previous album became strong through struggling up the rapid grain. this one totally engulfs the grain with warm, overflowing melody and soul. it heats up the sound around it, only to leave you in some euphoric state, in disbelief of the wisdom and genius you have just experienced. with S.C.I.E.N.C.E each song was an infinitive collection of ideas, which are all completed with amazing efficiency. Make Yourself is about one or two amazing ideas per song, making for comfortablel istening, rather than being challenging. you will nod your head gently in time with its groove ridden tracks, and become almost faint with the melody, that geniusly never puts a foot wrong. with the new addition of Chris Kilmore, the album definitly finds it feet. DJ Kilmore adds what DJ Lyfe never could. a soft soul, heart, Something that doesn't sound like it's competing for first place. His textured scratching adds such a subtle dimension to Incubus, which is the only thing that could have possibly been added to make this album a progression, rather than a repeat. Brandon's lyrics are more to the point than the last album, but fit superbly into this, a more stripped down Incubus. they have picked which part of their sound that they like, and believe me, it is good.

Decent band but nothing special. There are so bands out there that are just average with nothing new to say and Incubus is one of them.
