Other highlights on the album are “Drive” and “The Warmth.” As with all Incubus albums, I think that this is a great one, and it gets better each time I hear it. The guitar player continues to come up with some very inventive rhythms and his collection of sounds continues to enlighten me. I would relate it to the hidden songs found on the first two releases. “Battlestar Scralatchtica” is an excellent instrumental that showcases the musical talents of the entire band. But the last two lines are from his eyes, as if he were the guy standing in front of him then he. But he is also sad that people live without ever realizing there own meaning and their own purpose in life. What they have made is full of meaning and purpose. The fact that they were willing to mix it up a little in light of their recent success shows a lot of confidence. First, he is somewhat aware of what his band has. Musically, lyrically, and vocally, this is their most impressive album. Yes, these guys have grown up a lot in the last few years. But they also have a melodic side, or rather, mature. “Privilege” and “Make Yourself” are proof of that.

This new album will dispel any misunderstandings of the band’s stature in the music world today.

Unfortunately, they were kind of lumped into the “rap/funk/metal” category. After stints on OzzFest, these guys were finally recognized. Their follow-up, Science, gathered momentum after about a year with little to no attention.

I reviewed it and spread the word to anyone who would listen. I discovered a new band that no one had heard. Three years ago, I picked up Incubus’ EP, Enjoy, without knowing who they were or what they sounded like.

“incubus” Incubus Make Yourself Immortal/EpicĮvery once in a while, I really score at the Ink 19 meetings.
