Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Young, aggro and from Los Angeles--with Make Yourself 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 from 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" has 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 categorise. 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
Description
Take the apocalyptic, electronics-tinged riff-rock of bandslike Korn. Subtract the fratboy sensibility and the Red HotChili Peppers-derived hip-hop rhythms. Add a sophisticated sense of melody and harmony, a more optimistic lyrical outlook, and a sense of dynamics. You've essentially got the Incubus sound. Incubus practices the kind of rapid intra-song mood shifts that were Nirvana's trademark, but instead of merely going from soft to loud and back, they change stylistically, switching from full-on hard rock to almost jangly, low-key alt-rock. The resultant sound should appeal to fans of both styles. The tasteful application of electronic effects updates the feel of MAKE YOURSELF nicely. There's plenty of teeth-gnashing and shrieking angst to be found in the lyrics, but there's hopefulness and pop-friendly catchiness as well.In the world of late-'90s radio rock, Incubus seems capableof being all things to all people.
