It features that Transformers like artwork found in the album jacket, with a robot composed of all different parts. That poster I mentioned in the opening is in my room now. But this might just be the most well executed blend of everything going around in the modern rock scene in 1999. It didn’t change the face of modern music forever although it finished the 20th century off well by producing some singles with some real staying power ( Drive, Pardon Me, and Stellar). I understand why people find this a mediocre album in the grand scheme of things. Make Yourself may be Incubus’ finest work, the perfect blend of their aggression and their funk-rock roots. How can you go wrong with a band that possesses a tight, accessible rock sound with the ability to take everything down and lay down a sweet groove, all while keeping an intensity and never losing sight of what they are trying to achieve with this album? Not to mention Brandon Boyd’s unique lyrics, which he sings near perfectly, and the fantastic bass skills of Dirk Lance.
To him, Make Yourself was one of the best albums created in mainstream music, and for a short time I agreed with him. However, my brother loved posters in his adolescent years, and he had an Incubus poster from the Make Yourself days.
I don’t really like posters all that much they’re kind of a waste of money, especially for me, because I don’t spend any time in my room. Review Summary: Plain and simple- this is mainstream rock done right.
