| | Incubus Make Yourself CD Incubus Discography of CDs
 (32 Customer Reviews)
Take the apocalyptic, electronics-tinged riff-rock of bands like Korn. Subtract the fratboy sensibility and the Red Hot Chili 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 capable of being all things to all people.

Alternative Press (1/00, p.88) - 3 out of 5 - "...a stylish attempt to merge...metal-edged riff-rock with hip-hop turntable aesthetics....reveals a band with more [brains] than...balls...."
CMJ (11/1/99, p.26) - "...a fresh and sassy new amalgam....[Incubus] still rock the night away, but they've mellowed out considerably on the smooth-movin' MAKE YOURSELF." Incubus Make Yourself Songs Make Yourself Music Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Best of Incubus

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The Essential Incubus
If you are new to the world of Incubus music, pick up this album. This is by far their best album with Morning View right behind it. You WILL NOT be disappointed in it; every song is one you can listen to over and over

Great effort
I've always held Incubus in high esteem for there ability to try new things and be good at it... its no different hear. The lyrics, the music and vocals are all superior. They somehow mesh loads of genres into the songs make it sound outstanding. "Privilege", "Stellar", "Drive", and "Pardon Me" are the top five best songs on this album. Great music.

| | Eleventh Dream Day Stalled Parade CD (2000)
Make Yourself CD music
$13.89
After a three-year hiatus, Eleventh Dream Day is back with another solid album, Stalled Parade, with a slightly broader sonic palette than its predecessor, Eighth. Don't worry, Rick Rizzo's overdriven guitars are still generally set for stun, but you can hear a little more in the way of acoustic guitars throughout the record, and Janet Beveridge Bean steps up to sing lead vocals on a few tracks. One of these, "Valrico74," strongly evokes "Cloak of Frogs" from Freakwater's End time, but Rizzo's atmospheric guitar plonking and John McEntire's understated keyboards give it a flavor all its own. The way this slow, haunting track gives way to the out and out Crazy Horse-isms of "In the Style Of...." is indicative of the effective pacing of Stalled Parade overall, eliciting a wide range of moods and tempos from track to track. ...

Make Yourself music CDs
$14.79
If anything, the Bluetones' debut album, Expecting to Fly, is too accomplished. Like their idols, the Stone Roses, the band has made a first album that is assured, low-key, and subtly charming. Unlike the Roses, they haven't made a consistently engaging album, but that isn't a major flaw, given the abundant ...
| | 10cc 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection CD (2002)
Make Yourself songs
$7.15 
10cc is one of those bands that creates problems for the compilers of compilations because they changed record companies, spreading their catalog around. The good news, from the viewpoint of American fans, is that most of the group's U.S. hits reside in the archives of one of the major labels, Universal Music, which is responsible for the 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection series of midline-priced best-of collections. 10cc began life on the UK Records label, for which the band scored a series of British hits in 1972-1974, none of which are featured here. The only one of those to reach the U.S. charts was "Rubber Bullets." Then the group switched to Mercury for the 1975 British hit "Life Is a Minestrone" (included here). They made their American breakthrough with the pop ballad ...

| | Sylvain Sylvain Sleep Baby Doll CD (1998)
Make Yourself CD music
$17.09
Syl Sylvain was the "normal" one in the New York Dolls, the guy who didn't wear a dress, and who looked like his favorite band was the Beatles. That's one reason why his solo records, which are probably the best by any ex-Doll, are so obscure: lacking David Johansen's style and Johnny Thunders' excess, Sylvain doesn't have an image hook.
He has musical hooks in spades, though, as this 1998 album shows. Less power-poppy than some of his earlier records--though "Hungry Girls" and "Oh Honey" would feel right at home on a Smithereens album--(SLEEP) BABY DOLL is an often-intense straightforward rock & roll album, with the nervy "Paper Pencil ...

This 1977 live album from the seminal hard-rocking girlband The Runaways boasts "You Drive Me Wild" and "All Right You Guys" among its 12 cuts.
Because the Runaways were much better known in Japan than the U.S., it stands to reason that their only live album was recorded in that country. This hard to find LP was available in the U.S. only as a Japanese import and sold for around ten to 12 ...

Drawing from 1965-1969 singles, their two albums, and three previously unissued tracks, this CD is a solid compilation of Jon & Robin's work that proves they had more to offer than their sole hit, "Do It Again a Little Bit Slower." That song's here, of course, as is their regional smash "Dr. Jon (The Medicine Man)," a beguiling combination of searing ...
