Incubus: Honoring 'Make Yourself' 20 Years Later

[@christclinger6540]

Mike Einziger seriously scary good musician. Coming from a seasoned guitarist, his playing is not of this generation. He’s ahead of his time. His concept of intervals and unique chord inversions is second to none

[@profk3742]

I concur. He's underrated as a guitarist. Dirk Lance (Alex??) was an amazing bassist too

[@zachgordon99]

Prof K yupp

[@tikemanski3548]

I freaked a few weeks ago when I watched a doc on Evvici and Einziger was a co-producer in his latest album. Mike is tha man.

[@ChrisToft]

Probably one of the best users of effects I’ve ever heard, particularly phaser, delay and volume swells etc.

[@Dwightaroundyolips]

He's alright

Definetely bro

[@bullybbqpit1677]

2nd warmth

[@tbone5757]

The Warmth, that first track and I Miss You are probably my 3 favs on that album. I like the Science album better.

[@rodrigopavez2869]

[@jahkareramkissoon419]

I wasn't alive when this album was created or realized. But by far the most influential in my life. Thank you so much incubus

warning is the best song on that album no doubt

Good job Mom, start them young

[@roachzero2952]

"Make Yourself" is one of the best records i ever heard & can reach fans of any & every genre .... I just listened to it last week & it still hyits me in the gut in so many ways .... Very inspirational album .

[@mentalcase4299]

It's on my regular playlist. I love this album thr most, but their older stuff is amazing and definitely fit in at ozzfest!

[@rahjeel]

They have made one of the best albums to ever come out of the 90's.

[@PetterHegevall_]

Such an fantaaaastic album. Their best, still. A classic

[@amalatesta]

Saw them play in 1993 and still a fan in 2022!

[@marieartis2862]

This album literally saved my life, it's the very first album I ever fell deeply in love with, I was 14 I had my first kiss by my first boyfriend to this band, 20 years later were still best friends and when we play this album all the great memories flood back. Brandon Boyds voice is my inspiration to become a singer myself and now my kid is 14, and she's a fan. I absolutely love this band, always♡

[@mykostrigger]

The Warmth, Miss you, and Pardon Me are songs that I truly keep close to heart.

[@grungyperry7530]

I remember first hearing the album, I thought it sounded like the most futuristic thing in the world.

[@rockboy360]

sure! It had a very spacey feel!

[@ericbonaparte9790]

Still One My Favorites👌🏿👌🏿

[@bard416]

First time I heard it on the radio I was blown away.

[@jkahan]

The Warmth still feels that way.

[@kevincollins8620]

Same. I didn't like it much.

[@art.of.verser]

My middle school years and beyond, INCUBUS is everything to me!!! "Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear" Listening to the Make Yourself album was electrifying as well as chill. I went on a huge binge delving through almost the entire discography at one point. Spotify is in the mix, so I'm glad to re-experience it all!!!

[@badgerhawk9613]

First concert incubus morning view sessions a great concert and wont be forgotten...thanks

[@ryanturner9979]

I was there cheers bro

[@Pokerface-tr1ds]

Make yourself is a real treasure. Still have the album here in my shelf... great album... one of the best ever written and produced.

[@ldeguzman]

When I think about Incubus I only remember good times. Boyd’s vox and Einzinger’s guitars were so dreamlike.

[@rodneyharris3265]

I saw Incubus and 311 in 1999 on their "Make yourself' tour. I wasn't very familiar with them then, but holy shit man! Most bad ass show I've been to. I love their music still, and definitely made themselves with that tour.

[@jesseherkimer4294]

Haha 311 ... seeing them this weekend in darren lake

[@rodneyharris3265]

It's just different when you are there in person and then go buy the album. Fucking awesome!

[@hide904]

I love this band with every fibre of my soul.

[@TheHighVibrationStation]

I have been an incubus fan for about 20 years and I went back the other day and added their music to a playlist for a roadtrip. As I was listning to the music on the road I payed a lot more attention to the lyrics. I went though my spiritual awakening a few years back, so hearing the lyrics with my new ears meant a whole lont more to me. I think what Brian is saying about channeling or going back and realizing the meaning of the lyrics is spot on. When I listned to the songs with new ears I felt that the lyrics were those of an awakened person.

[@bigcarlinblick904]

One of my favorite bands ever ill never forget the first time I listen to pardon me my God that song just blew me away

[@lorehines190]

So hard to believe it’s been 20 years! Will always love ❤️ you guys!!

Long time Incubus fan. Seen them about 8 times the past 7 years. Nice to see them get some recognition. They dont get much love nowadays.

[@Justin-ck3wo]

Hard to get love when you put out no work

[@kyklain86]

You're maybe right. They released 8 a few years ago and an EP. But they're always touring. I always see them in Vegas, crazy how some fans I've met fly from Brazil and Australia to see them.

[@Justin-ck3wo]

Yeah. I saw em on the tour when honda was sponsoring it and that was amazing for sure I wont deny that. Every one has to let go when its time. That music is just dated and I dont really know what other words but uninteresting amd these comments praise the subpar recent performance like they are heros or something liiiike bruh any first year guitar student can play those chops. Its all just so basic. If it came out today it would be chicks music only i feel. I appreciate the early work up to morning view and it was all inspiring and made me become a dj in a band but they strayed to far From dreads to bowties and suspenders. 😂😂

[@FlyOnGypsy]

This album inspired me to start a band in high school, the warmth was my and is my favorite. Thanks to you I have enjoyed a career in music that I am happy with and it's thanks to you and some of your peers. thank you

[@АлександринаИванова-ъ4ж]

When I was around 8 years old I couldn't get a particular song out of my head, but I didn't knew the song, I've been dreaming it, huming it all the time, and after awhile I asked my mom if she recognized it and she told me that she was listening to this song (Drive) and album while she was pregnant soo.... I've been listening to Incubus since before I was born. (I'm 19 now)

[@s13one80]

To be honest, I bought the "When Incubus Attacks" CD at Tower Records because of the robot design on the cover, the local radio rock station didn't even play any Incubus songs at that time. After listening to the CD, I went back to Tower Records and bought the "Make Yourself" CD the following week. Till this day I still have both CD's (as well as other Incubus releases) with me. My favorite song from both albums is "Consequence". It's good to see a band like Incubus make it this far.

I was 16 in 2000 when I heard Stellar for the first time. After that I was obsessed with this band. I wanted my guitar playing to sound like Mike’s. I have seen them about 11 times since 2003. After this last concert where they played a lot of filler, I told myself I wouldn’t see them again for a while. But now I’m seeing them play one of my favorite albums ever in it’s entirety in November and I cannot wait.
