Summary: Black Chocolate
Comment: This album was one of the first albums to feature scratchin' with heavier guitars. I liked the african bongo type sound laced with jazzy guitar licks. The album has quite a split between some real heavy sounds and real mellowing type of sounds. I was very curious about any music at the time I bought this and this ended up a near perfect buy along with S.C.I.E.N.C.E. some time later-- a more consistent heavier album.

Summary: very enjoyable
Comment: This is my favorite release out of all of Incubus' older stuff. This only being 6 tracks I was left wanting more though. But I digress. This is a great CD from the beginning to the end. I love the way they mix funk with metal, I could've never imagined that those two styles would be so amazing together. All of the songs on here are excellent, Version being my personal favorite. Version is a very funky song, which goes from jazzy singing to chaos in seconds. The message of the song is really very empowering too. Azwethinkweiz is another funky jazzy trip. The lyrics are the thing that stand out in this song, as cool as the instruments sound the lyrics are what get me every time. Shaft is an extremely heavy song which has Brandon screaming through the chorus (I could be wrong on that though, I've seen a video where Dirk Lance was the one screaming). You Will Be A Hot Dancer is a jazzy combo with very humerous lyrics. The instrumentation is what I like a lot about this song though. Take Me To Your Leader is amazing. I absolutely love this song, the lyrics are witty, and the beat is tantilizing. Nothing beats a song that mentions a cucumber in it. Finally, Hilikus, a very intelligent song that I really like. However, this is not a favorite of mine, although it is a really great way to end this CD.
A few of the best songs are Take Me To Your Leader, Version, and Azwethinkweiz. This is really overall a little bit better than Fungus Amongus in my opinion. I really do think that everybody will find something about this CD that tickles their buttons, so I reccommend this to everybody.

Summary: You Will Enjoy Incubus
Comment: The first track "You Will Be A Hot Dancer" had me singing along with it's catchy tune and unforgettable chorus. "Shaft" is a great hard rock song with an amazing Primus like sound. "Take Me To Your Leader" grew on me like no other song has done before. It is now one of my favorite songs. It has very unusual lyrics ("What if I had a mustard drenched cucumber tied to my leg and I did not want my pants to get dirty"), but very interesting none the less because some things he sings are actual facts ("What if your brain unexpectedly and suddenly picked out things to flip around and view"). mattcarrot has offended me with his opinion of the song "Version." I believe it is one of the best song's on this album. It happens to be the only Incubus song with a reggae, ska like groove. "Azwethinkweiz" happens to be one of two songs that Incubus released on a hard to find record entitled Let Me Tell Ya 'Bout Root Beer (The other is "New Skin" which is found on the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. album). It's also a very good song. "Hilikus" has a kickin' groove, as any Fungus Amongus fan would know. If you fast forward past the end of the song, you will find a hidden track with different beats and grooves similar to the secret track at the end of S.C.I.E.N.C.E.. Enjoy Incubus is a true title to this album for any hardcore Incubus fan because if you are a hardcore Incubus fan you will enjoy this album and appreciate Incubus' diversity and roots.
