Incubus / Make Yourself

Make Yourself is Incubus's 1999 breakthrough album that blends alternative rock and nu-metal with funk and hip-hop influences, showcasing a more melodic and introspective sound than their previous work. The album features major hits like "Drive," "Stellar," and "Pardon Me" and is noted for its dynamic range, from the mellow acoustic "Drive" to the heavier "Pardon Me" and "Out from Under". Lyrically, the album explores themes of responsibility, heartbreak, and self-actualization, marking a significant shift to more vulnerable and mature subject matter for the band.
