I've had this album since it came out, and I must say it is aging spectacularly. The sound of the songs as well as the lyrical content are just as strong and just as relevant now as they were when written. I love all of Incubus's albums, but this is my personal favorite. SCIENCE is great, but this was a good change. It loses most of the funk, but rocks pretty hard and has a more professional and polished sound. The music is awesome, and Brandon's lyrics are deep and thought-provoking. They convey a desire to be an individual and have your own beliefs, not just conform. What he sings, in his absolutely gorgeous voice, can really connect with anyone, but particularly speaks to anyone going through a transitional period in their life or who is sick of the corporate-mentality of the world. 5 stars, without a doubt.

I will actually have trouble putting what i think of this album into words. I was a big fan of boy bands and very afraid to show myself inside, until a friend introduced me to the music of Incubus. I had heard the song drive before on the radio, but I never had listened to their album. She lent me the album and for the first time ever, I felt that someone had taken every thought I had, and put it into Lyrical form.My most fave song on this album is "The Warmth". It is a real pick me up when I feel down. "Drive" is my second fave.
But all Over, this album rocks and the lyrics are awesome. I am sure alot of people can relate to Incubus' music.
