4.0 excellent | Yazz_Flute | July 1st 09 | Though the lack of any pre-Make Yourself material is somewhat disappointing, Monuments and Melodies does an excellent job of summarizing Incubus' past 10 years as a band, from their breakout album Make Yourself, to their most recent Light Grenades. The first cd consists of the big singles from their past four albums, and are rightfully chosen. Also featured are two new songs, "Black Heart Inertia," and "Midnight Swim," both of which are up amongst the top quality songs of their past two albums. Disc two consists of rarities and b-sides, including the fan-favorite "Pantomime." A Cover of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" is also included, as well as an interesting and very well-done acoustic rendition of their song "A Certain Shade of Green" off of their sophomore effort, S.C.I.E.N.C.E. Though this is not an essential buy for long-time Incubus fans, Monuments and Melodies would be a great place to start for those new and unfamiliar with the band.

5.0 classic | chis08 | July 16th 09 | Incubus is just one of those bands that is classic. Monuments & Melodies is not only a great idea, but a success for Incubus and a reinforcement for their devoted fans. Not only is the album a great investment, but now with a -.edu email address, you can get it for just $7.99 on the band's website:
