"I am in a band called Incubus. We are all about the same age; and we started our band in 1991. Our story is not unlike other success stories. It has its peaks and valleys, its struggles, its triumphs, its highest highs and lowest lows. But it's not the bad parts of our unfolding story that have intrigued people over all of these years. To tell you the truth, I am not sure exactly what has kept people interested in us this long. I'd like to think it's the music we make and ultimately share. I'd like to think it's because we have struck chords with people at very specific times in their lives and that when they hear certain songs they are harkened back to the not so distant past wherein life changing events and turns in their own stories coincided with lyrics and rhythms. Sounds meandering into symmetry with an individual's psyche like that rare moment when your body and your shadow line up on a wall. If the music has been the true catalyst for our (once again) unfolding success story, than I'd say we were right on track." - Brandon Boyd
The band released the album "S.C.I.E.N.C.E" on September 9th 1997. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA. It has been mentioned by lead singer Brandon Boyd that the acronym S.C.I.E.N.C.E. stands for Sailing Catamarans Is Every Nautical Captain's Ecstasy.
After its release, they headed back on the road to promote the album. Incubus played a handful of dates with Phunk Junkeez and Shootyz Groove before jumping on Tours with 311 and Sugar Ray. Incubus were only expected to stay on for the dates within the United States, however things changed. The Tours went so well and the response from the crowd was so great, that 311 asked them to stay on for the remainder of the Tours and go over seas with them. After the very productive Tours with Sugar Ray and 311, and a DJ replacement, Incubus began Tours with many other bands, including: Far, One Minute Silence, Cold, Limp Bizkit, and then jumped on the Warped Tours for 3 dates in June and July. Then on July 3rd, the band began the Ozzfest '98 Tours, which included, Snot, Tool, Coal Chamber, Ultraspank, Limp Bizkit, System of a Down, and others.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. draws influence from diverse genres, including heavy metal, electro, funk, jazz, hip hop and techno. According to Rolling Stone writer Rob Kemp, S.C.I.E.N.C.E. "links funk metal to the rap metal". "Magic Medicine" incorporates elements of trip hop, sampling a recorded reading of a children's book.
Critics praised the album's diversity of styles. Pitchfork Media wrote that Incubus "successfully combines all sorts of [music genres] without sounding like a mess". Allmusic reviewer David Thomas wrote that "The numerous styles on the album... create a solid sound that defines the band. Incubus also manages to make their songs upbeat and danceable as well as tunes to headbang to. An admirable feat in a genre that tends to reward decibel levels instead of quality."
