Hey! I haven’t said anything here, but Keaton has convinced me that my voice should be heard. Well, I should rephrase that. I have convinced myself that my voice needs to be heard, and Keaton’s site is a great way to do so. So I’ll start off my first review with a fairly old album by Incubus.

S.C.I.E.N.C.E. was released in 1997 by Incubus. In case you haven’t heard of Incubus, please take the nearest object you can find and staple it to your eyeballs. Believe me when I say that Incubus has one of the greatest sets of musicians to ever live. Their singer’s phenomenal, and incredibly versatile voice is a wonder by itself, and in a normal sentence I would compare it to the fantastic drumming, or the beyond belief guitar playing. However, Incubus’s S.C.I.E.N.C.E. features absolutely stunning performances from all of the instruments. Displaying a wide style of metal from the funky to the freaky, S.C.I.E.N.C.E. features songs with more experimental, scientific, and science fiction based themes. “A Certain Shade of Green”, one of their hardest tracks, is about mankind simply waiting around for a huge sign to start caring about the world coming to an end. “Idiot Box” is about the influence of modern media on our minds. If there were one part of this album I would have to criticize, I would say that a few of the tracks are so fast paced (in other words, crazy) that you can’t even enjoy the full experience of the music. Most of the songs have heavy metal leanings, but my two favorite tracks, Deep Inside and Antigravity has much more funk/disco bases. Over all, it was one of the best albums I have ever heard, and I recommend anyone who can to go out and buy a copy.
High Point: Deep Inside
Low Point: Nebula
In summary:
Very Nice
