A Moving Collection of B-Sides
Though the tracklist may be short, Incubus is able to give you acoustic renditions of their hits that are comparable if not superior in feel to the originals. With this album, Incubus was able to portray themselves far better than in any of there blown out productions. It made me wonder which songs were written on an acoustic guitar before ever presented to the band in it's entirety. .


Interesting Incubus
Get "S. If you're new to Incubus, don't buy this. C. I. E. N. C. E. " or "Morning View. " If you're a fan, buying this isn't a bad idea. It's hard to find anywhere besides the internet, and it has pretty good acoustic versions of some of their more famous songs. It also has a song on it called "Crowded Room" that you can only find on this and the Scream 3 soundtrack or something. There's also a hidden track about getting high that I don't think you can find anywhere else. Overall, I'd recommend it, but only to seasoned Incubus fans.


When Incubus Attack, Vol. 1
The acoustic version of "Make Yourself" makes you apreciate that song so much more, and "Crowded Elevator" is a sweet extra track that you just want to listen to again and again. This CD has some really great versions of the songs. .


Fantastic!
It was late summer and the EP had just come out and I was working at Hot Topic and our manager played it all the time. Strangely enough, this was the first Incubus disc I ever purchased. It was infectious, catchy and emotional, without being sappy. It was a pleasure to hear a vocalist so heavily influenced by Mike Patton making music and not noise.

Brandon Boyd is and should be the focus of this album. His strong baritone rings clear over the acoustic guitar and gives each song a new identity in its new format. When I finally heard the album "Make Yourself" I was blown away by how unique each song had become when translated to the acoustic version.

This album is a must own for any true Incubus fan, no exceptions. The live tracks are killer (_Favorite Things_ live is wicked) and the b-side _Crowded Elevator_ is an excellent song as well with "Make Yourself" elements but really, the mea of the album are this great acoustic tracks recorded in studio. Get it while you can because I believe that it is OOP!

Stellar is a huge understatement.
With the vocal talents of Boyd as the front man and the melodious acoustic guitar riffs of Einziger, the CD is wonderful from start to finish with nothing to complain about. This EP was extraordinary in it's own right in many ways. The acoustic versions of Stellar, Make Yourself, and Pardon Me were simply amazing and a very refreshing change of pace but still on a very happy Incubus medium. The live versions of Favorite Things and Make Yourself showed the true talent of Incubus and how they can perform live just the same way they can in the studio. Finally, the unreleased track Crowded Elevator is most likely one of the best Incubus songs recorded and show them in their element doing what they do best. . perfecting music on song at a time.
