Incubus - Monuments And Melodies (Japanese Edition) (2009)

Incubus went through some sound changes over the years. They started off as a heavy funk metal band including elements of hip-hop, alternative, jazz, and even nu-metal in their sound. They now progressed to a more mainstream alternative group. Now Monuments and Melodies is essentially a greatest hits compilation, but they threw in some rare tracks and even some unreleased and new ones. Sadly, on the greatest hits portion of this compilation, the early funk metal Incubus is absent. They basically took the singles from Make Yourself, Morning View, A Crow Left of the Murder…, and Light Grenades to give new listeners a feel for Incubus’s music . Some songs such as ‘Pardon Me’ and ‘Anna Molly’ do give the listener a taste of their funky roots which is great, but a couple of songs from S.C.I.E.N.C.E. or even Fungus Amongus would’ve been more than welcome.
