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

 Best Incubus CD !!!!! September 11, 2008
I think this is the best Incubus CD. "Pardon me" and "The warmth" are their best records ever. Everybody should get this CD and listen to their music. Best band ever!!! Love them! These guys are amazing! Great musicians.
One of my Top 5 June 17, 2008
I was just asked to list my Top 5 CD's of all time, and this is one of them. So, i thought i'd add a review. Not a whole lot i can say except to me - this is the best of the best. Incubus is awesome, and IMO this is their best. LOVE IT.
Possibly their best... April 17, 2008
I've had this album since it came out, and I must say it is aging spectacularly. The sound of the songs as well as the lyrical content are just as strong and just as relevant now as they were when written. I love all of Incubus's albums, but this is my personal favorite. SCIENCE is great, but this was a good change. It loses most of the funk, but rocks pretty hard and has a more professional and polished sound. The music is awesome, and Brandon's lyrics are deep and thought-provoking. They convey a desire to be an individual and have your own beliefs, not just conform. What he sings, in his absolutely gorgeous voice, can really connect with anyone, but particularly speaks to anyone going through a transitional period in their life or who is sick of the corporate-mentality of the world. 5 stars, without a doubt.
 Pretty good, but not their best. March 30, 2008

This is the album with "Drive" and "Stellar," the two songs that sky-rocketed Incubus to stardom. If you're new to Incubus or played Guitar Hero 1, I guess this is a decent place to start.
Some fans say that this is where the band "sold out," even if that's not the case at all. Incubus has become more "radio-friendly" from this record on, but the quality of their music hasn't diminished one bit. With "Make Yourself," the band further refined its sound and put out their most consistent record yet.
Every track is catchy and well-written, with awesome choruses, memorable verses and all sorts of great music behind Brandon's ever-evolving vocals. I think they've done better, but there's no question that "Make Yourself" is a pivotal album in the Incubus discography.
One of their better offerings. October 17, 2007

This was the CD to bring them totally into the mainstream too, with the first breakout single, that is DRIVE.
My favorite songs, in no order are:
WHEN IT COMES
DRIVE
I MISS YOU
MAKE YOURSELF
CONSEQUENCE
THE WARMTH
4.5 Stars.
