Well, I guess you could turn the album off after Hilikus, but what was the point of the "Hidden Track"? Go ask Brandon Boyd. It had a lot going for it, until the mindless thirteen minutes of "Hidden Track" litters the end, which is mostly silent, random, and at times, they are singing Happy Birthday. The album kind of loses all bits of momentum it had and pulls a 180 at the end though. The song breaks down into random funky guitar solos and bass rhythms at any time, and makes a truly great track. Boyd comes off as less over-bearing in the chorus, as he's toned down the screaming in the chorus and making the chorus much better. The song features some rather fun DJ scratches and turn-tables in the back, and the scratches work well in the chorus. Hilikus was another one of my favorites off of Fungus Amongus, and once again, the re-worked edition is better than the previous. The song is prototypical of Incubus of this era, long verses with fast, screaming chorus and random song structures. Version is a nice addition to early Incubus's catalog, the song switches from low, slow-paced funky verses to hard-hitting metal choruses. The chorus is slow, and the exit after the chorus exhibits some of Incubus's funk/progressive rock influences where they mess around with Boyd's vocals and guitar riffs. The chorus is catchy, and very slower-paced then the rest of the album. The song kicks off with a funky guitar riff backed by some rhythmic whistling before Boyd comes in switching his voices from a lower growl to a high-pitched funk-toned falsetto vocal. The name of the song may be mindless, but the song is far from it.

Its one of Enjoy Incubus's best song, along with the album's funkiest track, Azwethinkweiz. You Will Be A Hot Dancer introduces you to Incubus's funk basslines and guitar riffs quickly, with a heavy, frantic chorus where Boyd's voice slowly builds up. That's really all to be found in the department of Incubus laying off the heavy funk basslines. Filled with fast guitar riffs and solos and echoing vocals, the song feels a lot like Make Yourself as well. Same with the re-worked Take Me To Your Leader, which doesn't feel as funky as it previously did. The song feels a lot like Stellar, with more of an old-Incubus charm. For example, the re-worked Shaft! kicks off with an atmospheric, fast-paced and fast-timed guitar riff before blowing into a fast, crazed, and frantic chorus where Boyd screams "SHAFT!". No, there's still plenty of the heavy funk guitars and bass with heavy guitar riffs, but the album feels like their later records with a more creative, funk influence. The album is a huge step up from their debut, and forshadows S.C.I.E.N.C.E.'s heavy side, and Make Yourself's hip-hop influences all in one, short, six-track EP.īefore S.C.I.E.N.C.E., this album feels and sounds as close to their breakthrough record Make Yourself as early Incubus gets. The album has proper recording, mixing, and production. This makes Enjoy Incubus a completely different experience than Incubus's lo-fi debut. See, the difference is that most of the re-worked tracks from Fungus Amongus sound completely different, with some recognizable tempos, the same lyrics and song structures. The EP, featured re-worked versions of Fungus Amongus's best songs, and a few new recordings altogether. Enjoy Incubus was a step in the right direction for Incubus, and it was Incubus' first major-label release.

We're not talking about a few funk basslines here and there with some loud, traditional heavy guitar riffs either we're talking about a full blown fusion of funk bass and metal-influenced guitar work. This left Incubus the only band that was easily identifiable as this mysterious genre, funk metal. But it was more funk than metal, and this appealed to many rock listeners, because where Red Hot Chili Peppers dabbed a bit more with traditional rock with some funk tendencies, Incubus put everything on the table with more funk than metal. Fungus Amongus was heavy, funk-inspired rock. And while Fungus Amongus has some pretty bad audio quality and a lot of the songs were boring with over-used basslines and funk techniques, Incubus showed originality and quite simply they were nothing like most people had ever heard. Keep in mind, Brandon Boyd and his band are roughly around the age of 17 and 18 when they developed this 'underground sensation'. Yes, Fungus Amongus was not a huge hit, but they became an underground sensation with this album. What exactly is funk metal? Before Incubus' Fungus Amongus was released, there was no real funk metal band that was well known. Review Summary: A more refined, yet still raw and enjoyable reprise of their debut album with some excellent new songs thrown in the mix.
