"“Could you show me dear? Something I’m not seeing?” So asks Brandon Boyd, frontman of Incubus, whose appealing blend of metallic rock, cosmic ballads, and turntable grooves is the kind of style for which the catch-all tag “alternative rock” remains very useful. But whereas many of their peers wallowed in anger, Incubus challenged listeners to learn from past mistakes and strive for positive change in spite of their obstacles. In their heyday, Incubus was a constant presence on alternative radio, all the while progressing from funk metal also-rans to chart-topping mainstays. Make Yourself represents the central point of this evolution, capturing a band moving beyond initial boundaries to unexpected crossover success."

RYM Rough Guide for Incubus

"Initially beginning with a funk metal sound, Incubus developed a more conventional sound starting with Make Yourself. Despite this, the band's mainstays Brandon Boyd and Mike Einziger have provided a strong foundation for the rest of the band. Always accessible and occasionally experimental, Incubus are recommended to any modern rock fan to check out."- upinthesky123

"Absolutely a band important to the development of my tastes (and honestly, most late Gen X'ers-early Millennials I'd wager) and I'm still a fan to this day. They just have/had something that sets them above their peers. Maybe it's Brandon Boyd's soulful white boy singing or Mike Einziger's tasteful guitar proficiency, or either bassists' funkiness and finesse but really, it's a combination of all that, plus great tunes."- ShallowofDepth

"One of the few mainstream rock bands from the 00s that wasn't complete crap. Their 90s alt-metal/Mike Patton worship stuff is really cool too."- pointandclick
