5.0 out of 5 stars The Rarest Incubus CD, November 3, 2002

By	incubusS>C>I>E>N>C>E> (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews

If you own any single incubus cd its worth buying this one-Whether you own:

Fungus Amongus

Enjoy Incubus (EP)

S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

Make Yourself

or their latest Morning View

I think they only made about 500,000 copies of it, and it is one of the hardest cds it took for me to get. Although there is only 6 songs not including the hidden track, i think its a good value.I became a diehard incubus fan only a half a year ago, and i was really surprised that i found it so quickly, in about two months. But it was not easy, if u buy it on Borders.com ull get it in 24 hours, but if u look for this import (ep) in stores you wont have a lot of luck.

Tracklist

1- Pardon Me ( Acoustic)- 9/10 its still great but its a little weird hearing it in an acoustic version.

2-Stellar (Acoustic)- 10/10 my favorite on the cd, sounds so good in acoustic.

3-Make Yourself (Acoustic)- 7/10 wasn't one of my favorites on the make yourself album but its still good.

4-Crowded Elevator- 9/10- It was suppposed to be on the Make Yourself Album.

5-Favorite Things- (Live) 10/10- I think its ounds better live.

6-Pardon Me- (Live) 10/10- Another one of my favorite songs on the lp, its makes u get this feeling your there because the crowd gets so into it.

7- Hidden Track?- 6/10- sorta of funny song, but its a mystery.

Overall: One of my favorite Cds

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice EP to tide over fans 'till new album (3 STARS), October 27, 2001

By	Janson Kemp "jwk" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For a band that usually flaunts the clean, baritone vocals of Brandon Boyd, "When Incubus Attacks" is not something many Incubus fans thought would happen. But after the success of the more acoustic-based songs on "Make Yourself," I suppose the band thought some credit was due to ever-improving guitarist Michael Einsiger. The obvious point, already stated by many reviewers here is the limited supply of the mini-album. So if you enjoy the new Incubus sound and like raw, acoustic music pick one up while they're available.

Two FANTASTIC versions of "Pardon Me" are available here, one completely acoustic and one live, electric with full band. The acoustic version shows the guts of the song and the skills of Einsiger; he plays many bluesy chords, augmented chords, and some that sound almost made-up. Very artsy. "Stellar" also sounds quite amazing acoustic, a nice change of pace from the grungier versions most people heard on the radio. An unreleased, full-band song "Crowded Elevator" may be the real incentive to buy for many die-hard incubators. I was a little bit upset that it was not included on "Morning View" released earlier this year. There is also a live version of "Favorite Things" for those who liked the "SCIENCE" album. Some real good stuff here.

4.0 out of 5 stars This Disc Needs More Tracks!, August 22, 2000

By	"c-boss" (Port Hueneme, CA) - See all my reviews

For the first half of this EP, the singer and guitarist from Incubus each take a seat and do 3 acoustic versions from the "Make Yourself" disc. If you are familiar with the CD, then this EP will most likely be a treat. It is very nice to hear a different twist on the tunes, not to mention that the lyrics are well enunciated throughout the acoustic versions of "Pardon Me", "Stellar" and "Make Yourself". The profane words really ring out in the acoustic version. They are very stripped-down basic tracks, which is good for this setting. "Crowded Elevator" is a track that was also on the Scream 3 album. It is a good track that would have fit very well on the "Make Yourself" CD. The song is performed by the full band (drums, bass, the whole nine yards) and the song is very worth a listen. The EP rounds out with live, rocking versions of "Favorite Things" (From S.C.I.E.N.C.E.) and "Pardon Me", complete with turntables and very clean good -sounding lyrics. The production on the live tracks is a little substandard, but that's the case with most live recordings. The songs are also worth listening to. The "hidden track" past song 6 is not worth much of a mention. It kind of sounded like a drugged out hip-hop tune (reminiscent of Onyx or the like), but someone is bound to appreciate it. My only gripe is that they didn't do the entire album- there were some of their other songs I found myself wanting to hear in the acoustic format after the disc was over. This is a real good EP- good songs and a good concept. It's just that 6 songs and a hidden track at the end just weren't enough.
