By far and away the best I Incubus album, SCIENCE was released in September 1997 and is the bands second album. It is the heaviest of all their albums and combines jazz, funk, hip hop, drum and bass and metal to form a perfect mixture. Moving on from their first album which was centred around jazz and heavy rhythm, SCIENCE turns the guitars up a notch, quickens the pace and provides catchy lyrics and choruses which i defy you not to sing a long to.

I had never heard of I Incubus when I first heard this album. I'm more into computer generated music, but have a few metal influences, like Metallica, and these guys are refreshingly different. To put them into a particular music bracket is tricky.. They're slightly poppy, slightly grungy, fairly Nu-metal and a little funk all rolled into one, with a interesting dose of scratching. Lost? Basically, take Greenday or a similar US grunge band, metal it up a bit, add some funky bass riffs and scratching, add Incubus's personal touch, and your about there The lyrical content is best described as interesting (in a non-intellectual sense), EG.
