Disco de Incubus: “Enjoy Incubus [EP]”

First of all, this is not the first recording that Incubus put out. Their first CD that I am aware of was Fungus Amongus. However this was their major label debut and it bridges the gap between Fungus and S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

I found Incubus through Make Yourself and then through Morning View. I liked them so well and they where on heavy rotation in my collection that I decided to start looking earlier in their career. I have to say that picking up their older stuff has been very rewarding.

This is a blend of many different styles of music such as Funk, Rock, and maybe a little Jazz in there too. Sure this CD is short, but there is no filler. If many of bands around right now could put out a CD that's this good beginning to end then there may not be such a fuss over file-sharing. This album is worth every penny just like every other Incubus CD I have picked up so far. This is a fun album to listen to and belongs in the music collection of any fan of Incubus.

The Incubus boys go back into the studio and re-record a few of the older funky tracks of Fungus (Hot Dancer, Shaft, Take Me To Your Leader, Hilkus), and add a few new ones. This EP is one little gem, everything you've come to love about Incubus remains in this EP. From the beginning track, "You Will Be A Hot Dancer", you know this is some funky stuff. There is a lot of humor present in the album, with a rather lighthearted feel, even though some of the harder riffs, ala Shaft, kick in. If you are a hardcore fan, you most likely already have this album, however, to new Incubus fans, I reccommend this , as long as your musical tastes are fairly open. The 6 songs on this CD are great to listen to over and over, and its fun to pop it in and play "Azwethinkweiz" for a friend. The songs on the album are definitely a bit more amateur than their more recent albums, however, I still HIGHLY recommend this CD. You can snag this CD for a good price too. Get it, you won't regret it.

I first heard Incubus one day at work from a co-worker/friend early in 1998 that explained to me that Incubus was his favorite band, and thought that I might like them as well. To make a long story short he let me hear this cd, and I was instantly hooked, and I went out to the record store to buy it. The record store was out, and I gave in and bought SCIENCE (which is now my favorite of all their albums). Anyway this is Incubus back before they were really famous, and when they still had that funk rock chili pepper sound. Although the cd only has 6 tracks on it, it's a great buy for anyone that is a hardcore fan of Incubus. Songs like "You will be a hot dancer" and "Azwethinkweiz" are great examples of Incubus's pure energy, style, and unmistakable sound. The album is definately a great release for a young band. Enjoy Incubus contains all of the elements that led up to the great albums of SCIENCE and Make Yourself. If you liked SCIENCE or Fungus Amungus you will definately like this album, if you discovered Incubus when Make Yourself came out I'd borrow the CD from a friend before buying it, just to make sure. Now give this album a spin (as well as all of the other Incubus albums), and do as the title of the cd says: ENJOY INCUBUS!

This is Ep is easily one of the best from incubus.Because it is old incubus. And if you are fan of the new sound. then you may debate. unlike me who found incubus through their old sound (I love both there new and old sound)from Fungus Amongus then you should go ahead because it features 4 tracks from FA. and they are remastered with the help of a added DJ.this Ep is really good but if you didnt like Science then I wouldnt suggest this.because It is a step back and it does take sum adjusting to.But other then that this is a incubus Ep that should be heard before buying.Thats the only reason why I gave it four stars....

Don't be confused by thethe title of this reveiw and the rating. This is an awesome album/EP but, it does not sound anything like "Make Yourself". It is more funk/humor oriented. Songs like "Take Me to Your leader" and "Shaft" are funny but very edgy. "You Will Be A Hot Dancer" is funny and humorus while reating it's replayablity. While Most of these songs can be found on other albums two of them can't be found anywhere else(i think). This is a great CD but not for the light Incubus fan, only for the hardcore fans that don't own "Fungus Amongus". Buy It if you like Incubus.
