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

An Incubus lovers dream come true.......2007-02-12

Of all the Incubus albums released, "Make Yourself" is pure genius. It is wll written and the music is what we all have come to expect from them. All in all, this is one album I would recomend any music lover have in their collection.

Thilthy and Awesome.......2007-01-18

This album is far dirtier, but not to be confused with darker, than I imagined it would be. For that I am very greatful and this album rules! However, there are other reasons this is great. Sure, I love the song Make Yourself, but there are other sides of this, too. There is no song quite as thrashing as Megalomaniac here but there is also no song as lame as Circles here. What it does have is thooughtful hits like Drive. It also has weird techno-style artwork, sweet turntable action (especially in it's own scratch track Battle...), an infectious voice, some dirty lyrics, and singable lyrics like "you better not blink or breathe cuz you never know what's commin' around the bend". Most of all, more lively than the follow-up to this (Morning View).

Catchy CD, but it has its downsides.......2006-11-06

Im more of the person who reviews it based on letter grades, so....

Privilege - A
Great way to open a CD. More of a SCIENCE song than the steriotypical new Incubus.

Nowhere Fast - A-
One of the first Incubus songs I'd ever heard. Always caught onto me. Great Bridge and Drums

Consequence - B-
Maybe my least favorite song on the CD. Guitar part bugs the crap outa me.

The Warmth - B+
Sick song. Adds a sort of dark side to the CD.

When it Comes - B
A pretty cool song, but it isnt the kind of song that i choose to listen to. I let it slide in with the CD

Stellar - A
I hated this song at first, but I have really changed my mine since. Guitar part is impossible as heck to play, and it just has a cool rhythm to it.

Make Yourself - A-
This was the song that got me to like this CD. It was the first one I listened to, and its just a cool song.

Drive - B
Overplayed. It's a good song and all, but it just gets boring.

Clean - B
Another one of those songs that just never caught onto me. Its ok though.

Battlestar Scralatchtica - B+
A Great jam song. Amazing scratching by Kilmore.

I Miss You - B
Blah. Soft side of Incubus that bores me.

Pardon Me - B
One of my least favorites for some reason. This song is so much better played live and acoustic, but it just isnt that good on the CD.

When it Comes - A+
Favorite song on the CD. Hard rock song with great lyrics.

Overall, good CD

With deeper listens..........2006-10-02

....I have found that Incubus' masterpiece "Make Yourself" is much more of an obscure Progressive Metal album than a Nu-Metal album. Take some deep listens into this album, and you will see that the musical progression of each song fits perfectly into the moniker of Progressive Metal,with a lot of funk, Hip Hop and Nu-Metal tossed into the mix. Each song progresses with perfection and every note played is placed in just right. Even Brandon Boyd's amazing vocals are progressive, as is the concept of the album, which is making yourself out of your own ideas, thoughts and beliefs, not letting the Government, Authorities and the world shape what you believe and feel.
The guitar riffs are intricate and amazing, as is the funky bass lines and the tight drumming. The DJ adds much atmosphere and ambience to the record as well.
Brandon's vocals are superb, having a wide range and deep metaphoric lyricism.
I took this album for granted ever since I first picked it up, but in the new perception that I am in now, I appreciate it much more. I feel that it takes time for the true goodies hidden in the compositions of this album to come to the surface, and a face value listen won't reveal anything beyond a great "Nu-Metal/Rock/Funk" record.
I think this is Incubus at their finest(which many would argue with, citing "Science" as their best. True, I feel that Science is amazing as well and shows elements of Progression, but its "Make Yourself" where they reach their pinnacle).
Do yourself a favor and pick this album up, if you can get past the whole Nu-Metal Stigma, you will find a true gem that is worth many repeated listens.

This song says it all..musically and lyrically..one of their best yet.
They deserve to sing this song loud and proud, and they do!

I thought I was getting the whole CD and when I opened it and put it on, it turned out to have the song Not Ready to Make Nice, one other song and then some video of Not Ready to Make Nice. I checked with a friend who has the album and she said there should be lots of other songs on it. Can you send me the album I thought I was buying?

A Must for Keith Sweat fans.......2007-02-20

This album is a must-have for Keith Sweat fans! Unless you've bought his other albums when they were originally released, there's no reason to buy any of his other albums if you have this one. Just about all of his popular tracks are on this album, aside from a few of his obscure hits. "Make It Last Forever" is a favorite for anyone that enjoys slow jams from the old school days, and "I Want Her" should bring back memories of the late '80's high school dances. This album also has "A Right And A Wrong Way" and "How Deep Is Your Love", which were a couple of his really popular slow jams. No Keith Sweat fan should be without this one in his/her collection, and the album contains enough tracks to keep the CD going for more than just a short drive.

All I can say is "aaahhhh".......2007-01-11

the perfect Friday or Saturday, sitting compfy, sipping something good, and listen! Seriously good old-school

New Jack Swing Loathrio At His Best.......2006-12-29

Keith Sweat is one of the premeire R&B soul singers in the game. Although Mr. Sweat hasn't released a CD of new material in four years, I'm really anxious to see what he could do with the writing skills of Ne-Yo, Sean Garret, Johnta Austin and the production of The Underdogs. The Best of Keith Sweat: Make You Sweat compiles most of the tracks that made R&B crooner Keith Sweat one of the most popular and influential of the '90s new jack swingers. Along with Teddy Riley, Tony! Toni! Toné!, and Bell Biv Devoe, Sweat defined the forward-looking but history-mindful new jack sound that combined old-school aesthetics with hip-hop rhythms. Culled from all five of his consecutive number one R&B albums, the tracks here include such ubiquitous radio hits as "I Want Her" and "Make You Sweat" along with stellar singles including "Nobody" and solid album cuts like "My Body.

HALL OF FAME.......2006-11-07

This superb collection will show you why Keith Sweat should be a ASCAP Rhythm and Soul Hall of Fame Songwriter and should be a Grammy-winning record producer, but he's not. Even with over 13 million albums sold (including LSG and Silk's debut). He has worked with a variety of producers from Alton "Wookie" Stewart to Bobby Wooten to Hall of Famer Teddy Riley to Lionel Job (Joe Public) and the one constant is his success, hit after hit, year after year the hits keep on coming. His style never changed. It never needed to. He knows what his fans expect and he knows how to give it to them in spades. This man may be the most underrated soul singer of all time outside of Jackie Wilson. I can say that because Al Green, Teddy Pendergrass, Curtis Mayfield, Barry White, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Ronald Isley, even El Debarge, Brian McKnight, R. Kelly, and Babyface they all get the props they deserve, but when will Keith Sweat be known as the Hall Of Fame Soul Artist that he is? Maybe when he surpasses 15 million CD's sold. Which won't be that long.

This isn't what I had hoped for........2006-08-12

I bought this c.d. because I like the song "Nobody" and it was the only good song on here. I read other reviews about how good this c.d. is and it is actually a waste but that is okay. There is only about 2 songs on there worth listening to so if you plan to buy it, I suggest you listen to the samples first. -heather-

The two singles "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" and "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm...." certainly do the trick. They are powerful dance-pop tracks with a serious hip-hop trunk deep enough to support (almost) the rest of the album, which is a bit of a motivational cool-down. The singles will pack the dance floor, and although the rest of the tracks won't clear it entirely, this album does prove to be unbalanced in the get-up-on-your-feet department. --Beth Bessmer

Classic Jam.......2007-05-22

I danced to this CD 10 years ago. It rocked every party i went to. It still does. This is a great buy! This is the kind of beat new tunes are made from. I love it

Groovy.......2007-04-13

this CD blends hip-hop, dance and rock sounds. It's good music. It comes from the age of Prince and MC Hammmer, and it's really too bad that they didn't continue to make music. Things that make you go Hmmm, and Gonna Make you Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) are great club songs. It seems that their style of music was merely a passing fad, and why they died off after this album. All of the songs are good. Collaborations by Freedom Williams and other members show that they're very talented artists. It's original, edgy and as good today as it was then.

Skating party number ONES.......2006-08-01

My god, it's hard to believe that sixteen years ago I was jamming out to these tracks at my local roller skating rink. What a trip, I still remember every lyric! Some great memories associated with these songs! Take a trip down memory lane with this album.

Everybody dance now! Hot dance album to this day! .......2006-06-15

C+C Music Factory had a hot dance album when it came out in 1990! Most of those songs from that album I still love to this day. Freedom Williams' raps rock hard on all the numbers. And while they apologized to Martha Wash in later years for not crediting her in the songs, she sounds dynamite on the ones she sang on here! David Cole and Robet Clivilles' music playing on the album with their rapid paced keyboard playing and rhythms are just superb on all the tracks. Gonna Make You Sweat, Things that Make You Go Hmmm, Here We Go (which is kind of similar to Sweat), Just A Touch of Love, and that long ambient 9-minute
song in the middle are strong standouts. Keep in mind that dance music was hugely popular in late 1990 and early 1991 and this really represented that time well before everybody shifted to slower, calmer songs. They performed in later years at some clubs worldwide, but not with the relentless peak of back then.

A watershed release that is a real classic gem for all times!.......2006-05-27

The closing months of the 1980s and the early 1990s I think were among the greatest watershed years in the history of techno-dance music. Wildly popular in Chicago at the time, I have fond memories of these songs when I was seven and/or eight years old when these were new. Now at the ripe old age of 23, I still love these songs from this era. "Gonna Make You Sweat" captures among the most glorious of this phenomenal era in music history.

C+C Music Factory have sadly been somewhat tainted with accusations of the singer in the music videos of their hit singles featuring the women singers actually lipsinching as the actual singer who sang that piercing vocal of "EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!!!!" at the beginning of the title track was none other than Marsha Wash!

two parts Hennessy to one part Lovage.......2007-07-03

Great album, another offering to my iPod from the generous library of Principal Dondelinger. It's at least half tongue-in-cheek but it's all great. I agree with other reviewers who have described the parody as more homage than mockery. The tracks vary but there is a nice consistent feel throughout, so it really flows as an album. The title suggests one way to utilize this music, but I've found this music to have potential even beyond being the soundtrack to the connubial shake-n'-fake. For example, my iPod likes to throw on "Pit Stop" and "Lies and Alibis" when I am walking alone at dusk, rundown by the day and the humidity.

Just listen to it. It's pretty unique. And I love the picture on the cover; I think it might be one of my Dad's nameless cousins from the seventies.

STOLEN MATERIAL.......2007-06-02

"Tea Time With Maseo" in this album contains recordings and words stolen from Alan Lorber's 1969 Groupies album.

Amazing..........2007-03-12

The production of this album is truly amazing. While there's definitely a parody element, the music is still banging. Sexy, fun, and cool. Perfect "music to make love to your old lady by"

weird but great.......2007-02-18

If you think that Deltron 3030 is the best hip-hop album of all time(like me) then you should definetly buy Lovage. Dan The Automator's(Nathaniel Merriweather) production is at its best, and combined with the DJ talents of Kid Koala(Deltron 3030), this album can't be beat. Also the strange combination of vocalists Mike Patton(Faith No More) and Jennifer Charles works perfectly. I totally slept on this album until recently, but this one is almost as perfect as Deltron.

Great Songs, Great Style.......2007-01-27

I've always been a Patton's fan, and this is one of the finest works I've ever heard about him, it's a soft-progressive-rock ballad with a little touch of irony, it's a very nice piece of art, a masterpiece, indeed.

Taking three-years between albums has made Weezer grow slower and more sober. But on its fifth disc the Los Angeles quartet is no more secure about its place in the world than it was a decade ago in longing tunes like "The World Has Turned And Left Me Here." Singer Rivers Cuomo, still struggling with adolescence at 34, is all apologies. "All I have to do is swing and I'm the hero/ But I'm a zero," he sings on "Perfect Situation," and "I am terrified of all things/ Frightened of the dark," on the lighters-aloft power ballad "Hold Me." The band, meanwhile, keeps things from getting too heavy by punctuating the songs with a familiar rush of bouncy new-wave melodies and fizzing power-pop riffs resulting in the hair-flinging metal of the future D.A.R.E. theme song and album high-point, "We Are All On Drugs." --Aidin Vaziri

Customer Reviews:

Blue Album, Green Album, this album.......2007-06-27

There are three Weezer albums that I feel are truly excellent. Nope, Pinkerton is not one of them.

If you like the singles and you're tired of the emo kids telling you to listen to Pinkerton some more, then this is the album for you.

Got old quickly!.......2007-06-04

Beverly Hills sounded really good in the summer of 2005, but for some reason, this CD got old fast! The rest of the album just wasn't me. If it held up well, I'd give it four stars.

Perfect Situation.......2007-05-16

When listening to this CD for the first time i felt like it had been written just for me. Every song sang felt like something i would say. I could look at each song and connect it to an event in my life. I do want to be in Beverly Hills, In the perfect situation i have let love down the drain, i really do just want someone to hold me, i do need to find some peace, we are all on drugs, i do have damage in my heart that i need to let go, i would like to be pardoned, i do love my best friend, i do just look the other way, lots of people do freak me out, and i am going to haunt you everyday. I could listen to this CD for hours and it really helped me through some hard times where i could know that i'm not alone. I would recomend it to anyone, some of it is a little slow and sad, but it has it's upbeat moments too. So don't just turn the other way, buy this CD... lol... and no, i'm not trying to sell this...

Great Album.......2006-11-29

There are a few people bashing this Album. At first, I really didn't get into this cd. After awhile it got hooked on me. I love every song on this album. I'm def. looking forward to future Weezer Albums.

So polished, you can see right through it.......2006-10-25

This album is easily inferior to Weezer's previous classics, the 'Blue' album and "Pinkerton". However, I get the feeling that people pretty much stopped expecting greatness out of Weezer after "Maladroit", anyway...

That being said, this album is nowhere near as good as their earlier output, but in fairness is also much less unlistenable than the 'Green' album. Don't expect any of these songs to grab you, but don't expect to be completely disgusted, either. If you're not too picky when it comes to harmless, bubble-gum power-pop, you're bound to like some aspects of this album. "Perfect Situation" and "The Damage In Your Heart" are both perfectly decent songs. It's just that two of the singles from this album, "Beverly Hills" and "We Are All on Drugs", are hands down the two worst songs that Weezer have ever recorded. The other songs? They didn't seem to leave much of an impression on me one way or another. This album is for die-hard Weezer fans only...or at least the die-hard Weezer fans not already turned off by the steadily decreasing quality of their musical output, anyway.

It's disappointing to see this band lower their standards to this harmless, forgettable batch of songs. We know the greatness that Weezer is capable of, but we've seen only faint glimmers of it since they came back in 2001. It makes one wonder if they should have even come back in the first place. Sure, they've had a run of success to rival their mid 90's hey-day, but nobody is going to remember this album in 10 years. I can gurantee you, however, that people out there are still going to be talking about the Blue album and "Pinkerton" at that point in time. They're found success, but at the expense of their previous musical legacy.

There have been rumors that this is in fact their last album. It's probably for the best.

Disappointing transfer to CD.......2007-07-01

I own both of these albums on vinyl. Since they were acquired in the 1960's, they show some signs of age and I had hoped that modern audio transfer technology might even improve the original recordings; that is certainly not the case. The Make Someone Happy tracks are the worst--distortion and fuzziness make some tracks almost unpleasant. There just doesn't seem to have been much attention paid to the final product in the transfer process. That's a shame, because We Five has always been one of my favorite groups from that era, and they didn't leave behind a lot of material. I'm sure someone could do a better job on re-mastering, but I'm not optimistic because the market may not be there.

2 great albums for the price of 1 CD........2007-03-30

After playing my vinyl copies of We Five I decided to check Amazon to see if they might be available on CD. I was pleasantly surprised to find that both albums were on 1 CD and at a price lower than many single CD's.

The sequel is not the equal.......2007-03-26

You Were on My Mind is a great album. With the exception of a couple songs--particularly Love me Not Tomorrow (first cut), which sounds amateurish and has a grating lead vocal--the choices of material, the arrangements and the performances are fresh and such a pleasure to listen to over and over, which my girlfriends and I did in the late 60's and early 70's. When I found it on CD on Amazon.com I was really excited. I had never heard or heard of the Make Someone Happy album. There are a few songs up to the standard set in the first release, but the sequel is not the equal. But, since they are both on the same CD it's yours anyway.
A great listen and a great memory.

I listen to this CD more than any other. Although this is not one of the better known 60's recordings; it offers one of the "best" voices I've ever heard. I never tire of Beverly Bivens. How many voices can one honestly say that of? If you liked her strong, rich delivery in "You Were On My Mind", you'll love it in "If I Were Alone." Her tonal range (reportedly low tenor -> high suprano) and style difference between "High Flyin Bird" and "Tonight" is impressive; but, her ability to "range" from "richness" to brilliant clarity, has not, in my experience, been equaled. Couple this with "feeling" and "articulation", and you have a voice that's consistently interesting and pleasing. A lot of female voices came out of the sixties, and many think none were better than Beverly Bivens. To me, the others weren't even close.

This CD offers: Foke Rock, Blues, Show Tunes, Standards and a couple "Quirkies." The arrangements are nicely done. Although the re-mastering is not what it could be; the CD is well worth owning.

BEV BIVENS - simply the best.......2006-12-04

The first WE FIVE album is now 40 years old. It remains the best album of its genre still to this day. Bev Bivens singing is a gift to all of those who have become long-time addicts of this album. The album is a masterpiece that still brings chills when those haunting Broadway show tunes play. I wonder if she ever realized just how good she was?

Beautiful.......2007-06-14

This CD is a must have for any Mormon Tabernacle Choir fans. The music is very reverent and gentle, and should also appeal to those not from the LDS church, seeing as how most of the music is common to the wider Christian community. This CD is a fantastic addition to any music collection.

A few bright spots, but also some disappointments.......2007-01-19

It Is Well With My Soul is one of my favorite-favorites and that is the main reason why I bought the CD; it turned out to be a huge let down on this album, they rearranged it so much that I almost didn't recognize it. Be Still My Soul is another reason why I bought it and it's good, but not great. Swing Low Sweet Chariot is where it starts to get good. The last two songs "Thou Gracious God, Whose Mercy Lends"
and "Come, Let Us Anew" are very good reasons to buy this CD, they each have truely powerful passages and make the CD worth having. The Mormon Tabernacle Choirs 2006 release entitled Then Sings My Soul is by far the best that I've heard from them.

This CD Deserves SIX Stars!.......2005-11-05

However, the rating scale has a limit of five. I own over 700 CDs of virtually every type of music. Peace Like A River belongs in a class by itself! I've never written a review before but, after listening to this STUNNING performance by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, I feel compelled to share my praise with that of the five other reviewers. If I were limited to one word, I would use the word "SUPERB" to describe this beautiful and moving CD. SIX stars for Peace Like a River! BRAVO!!!

every good adjective .......2005-08-06

This album is all beauty and solace. The singing is pristine, the arrangements lush and often stirring--never saccharine. As with the previous reviewer, my first listing of "Peace Like a River" brought me to tears (especially "Peace Like a River," the sopranos in "Swing Low," and the bagpipes in "Thou Gracious God"). Buy this one.

Fabulous!.......2005-05-29

The perfect recording to help you recover from a long, hard day. Showcasing the MTC's "new" sound in contemporary choral arrangements with its own orchestra and conductor, "Peace Like a River" brought tears to my eyes in selection after selection during my first listen -- and I'm not normally an emotional person! The title song together with "Deep River," "Swing Low" and "Be Still My Soul" are alone worth the cost of the recording. Get this one!

Teaching Peace.......2007-05-07

Excellent for use at home. Outstanding for classroom climate in younger grades.

Wonderful, Wonderful!.......2007-01-13

I've been giving this(first a cassette, now a cd) as a gift to children since it first appeared in the mid-80's. It's as fresh and wonderful today as it was then. I know many children who grew up knowing the words to all the songs and internalizing the wonderful messages they impart.Check out other cd's by Red.

Grandchildren Love It.......2007-01-05

This CD provides lively songs that offer kids a positive approach to life and problem solving and are also great fun to dance to. My grandchildren really enjoy it!

Kids Rock! A must have for the whole family!.......2005-02-12
