Incubus – Make Yourself [2 LP, Black Vinyl]

Description

Incubus’ third studio album Make Yourself represents the moment when the California quintet evolved from underground alt-metal hopefuls into radio rock powerhouses. Released in 1999, the album showcased the band’s willingness to expand beyond heavy riffs, incorporating acoustic textures, electronic elements, and introspective lyrics that revealed new dimensions to their sound. This double LP black vinyl pressing, housed in a gatefold jacket, captures the 13-track album that earned double platinum certification and launched Incubus into mainstream success.

The album’s standout tracks include “Drive,” the introspective acoustic-based single that topped the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and became the band’s signature song, “Stellar,” a dynamic blend of heavy verses and melodic choruses that showcased Brandon Boyd’s soaring vocals, and “Pardon Me,” an explosive track that balanced aggression with catchiness. Beyond the radio hits, deeper cuts like “The Warmth,” “Privilege,” and the instrumental “Battlestar Scralatchtica” reveal the band’s artistic ambition and have remained fan favorites. The album strikes a perfect balance between accessible songwriting and experimental tendencies.

The double LP black vinyl format allows the album’s dynamic range to breathe, with each side offering optimal sound quality for both the heavier moments and quieter passages. The gatefold jacket provides ample space for artwork and photography that complement the album’s aesthetic. This pressing offers fans a premium way to experience the record that transformed Incubus from a promising act into one of alternative rock’s most successful bands of the late 90s and early 2000s.
