This is the sound of 80's America. Probably should be more than a 3 as the classic tracks still sound amazing, felt the rest of the album has dated a bit.

A grudging 4. Theres no denying that this was an epic reinvention of a band and that the album is full of great tracks. My dislike of the band and particularly Bono shouldn't really colour the review, so a 4 it is.

Make Yourself

Incubus

3/5

Sneaky 3. I was ready to give a 2 but as an album it works better than the individual songs. Doubtful I'll listen again though which is normally a prerequisite for a 3.
