Reviews for this Album

It was many years ago that i heard this album. Definetly funk inspired, and even though Boyd from incubus says in many interviews that it was an immature album, the musicianship is amazing. I dont know any other 15 to 16 year olds that sound like that. If you havent heard it pick it up somewhere! Definetly a great album!

Yes, if you are a 'new' fan of Incubus you will be surprised with their style on this cd but personally, this is one of my favorites. Listen to "421", "The Answer" and "Sink beneath the line", I think after a couple of times you'll agree. Last year at the Verizon show I was screaming for them to play something from this album; it has a lot of 'live show' character; the 'pit' would have been 'SICK'! All of Incubus albums are my favorites and I'm lucky enough to have every one of them on disk, I even have an entire cd of nothing but acoustics from them! Life long fan....

If you want to hear tracks from this album just go on to youtube and type in funus amongus and there will be the songs.
I really do want to find it for myself though but I can't anywhere Sad
It's crazy to think that I was 5 when Incubus made some of my favorite of their songs ha ha!

Azwethinkweizm is hard to think about
but simple to trust
you'll know your on it when your brain
won't stop to take a break, no
so when donut boy comes askin' around
tryin' to figure out somethin' new
you just smile and say
"pardon you! I'm sifting through some particles
and farcing through some folds
I've stumbled upon a brain fart
which melts away your molds!"
so I think upon that ponder while
I'm pondering the thought
just thinkin' about the thinkweiz
is leaving me distraught!

KAPOW!

this album is just...wow
it sounds very different to anything else. great fusion of jazz-funk-rap-rock-grunge
"what if i had a mustard drenched cucumber tied to my leg?" LOL. WTF

don't you make fun of me

I have heard the album but I want one for my own for my collection. I can't find one anywhere and Amazon says it's discontinued =( I can't even find one in a pawn shop... my search continues

Experience the warmth before you grow cold

My recollection of Fungus Amongus is pretty vague. I remember listening to tracks but I can't put melodies to it. This album seemed to be a little disorganized but they brought something to the industry that was different from anything that was playing. And just a reminder, my first listen was the Make Yourself album. I don't think that if I had this album that I would give it much play, but it I had the funds to be supportive, I would get it to say I got everything of Incubus.

The first cd out, not the best one but for a first cd it was interesting, i dont really hear it that often as the other ones but sometimes its a good play

i love this album, specially cause is their beginning, the songs gives a lot of energy, this album is just great!

some people fall in love and find quicksand..

no mancheen! esta perrisimo este disco!! totalmente diferente a los otros discos!! esto si es estilo! me fascina! la de psychocilosobin esta ufff.... increible!!! y la de sink beneath the line.. wowww.!!

come back to mexico pleaasssee i was getting to know this group when you came to guadalajara last year... and im so sad that i wasnt there=(

loooove dione=)

Buenísimo, es su primera producción y no parece, me encanta Shaft!, Take Me To Your Leader, The Answer, Hilikus.
Como fan, puedo decir que sin Fungus Amongus o sin algún álbum, no es lo mismo.
Por algo todos los álbums están. También he notado que aquí no se encuentra Shaft! en la lista. Se encuentra en A Crow Left Of The Murder...

Por eso, 5 a la calificación.

This is my second favorite album behind S.C.I.E.N.C.E. The funky bass riffs and excellent solos are impossible to listen to just once. We need more!

alive since march 9 2008! =)

along with science.... this is also neat-o!! the band's old songs still rule!!!!!!!!

I'M SO GOOD TO BE HILIKUSSSSS!!Laughing out loud

sure you can like this cd regardless of hearing the others but points of views are very different. every cd that came our after fungus amongus were great, fail proof cds to jam out to... my first cd was science and from then on got each one as soon as they were new. i did alot of research from different sites as to where i can get this great FUNGUS AMONGUS. finally found it, popped it in and just thought man these guys are awsome. even as teens. in thier potiential state. I STILL LISTEN TO FUNGUS AMONGUS but when others that dont know them too well are listening to it, often will say that it isnt good. hmm.. so dont go bad mouthing the cd unless you know that thats thier first. it was good for a couple of young teens. end of story. THEY ROCKED THE s*** OUT OF IT!

here this cd is the most intresting to me. the years of expermination with drugs and the outcomes were in the lyrics! very creative.

it's always fun to find out what your favorite bands were doing before fame and success became part of their lives. back when they were alot like us, trying to make their mark on this tiny, insignificant planet by doing what they love the most. cheers to incubus! may the true musicians of our time live long and prosper.

what if the sky all of a sudden turned a purple hue? we would s*** a brick the size of all of it, what if????????

It's okay, but a bunch of whining kids. (no offence)

Posted review using PSP

This album is funky and fresh-- the beginning of the Incubus era. Without this CD, they wouldn't be Incubus. It defined them in politically, ethically, and virtually. Great sound, great beats, and great fun. This album is the album to begin all albums...

i was a little kid when i heard them... but i still love mandee! (drunk mode) LOL! Smiling

I think that those who may not get this album may not get the funk side of Incubus. All the songs on this album are so unique and the talent is outrageous. They wrote this when they were 16, and if I could jam like that at 16 I'd be... Well, famous perhaps. In any case, Fungus is awesome and deserves respect. Their following albums rock as well, but there is always a special place in my collection for this one.

-We all are just subjects of change-

This album was or is great, i first herd it when i was 13, thought it was way too complex for my taste. Than, when i turned 17 and herd it for the first time on mushrooms, i couldnt get enough of it. My favorites are all of the,. but i reall love the way the first half of the album takes u on a trip. The bass lines in Trouble in room 421 are sick, Take me to your leader takes me to outter space, and if i were i stripper, id dance to You Will Be a Hot Dancer!!!! Psychopsilocybin, is sick man!!! listen to it

i really loved this cd, it was so original and fresh and just out there. its amazing and you should get it if you haven't already

Fungus Amongus ?

SUPER PEDES.. < the great hot songs from Incubus Eye-wink

Take Me to Your Leader has a hillarious video. How did they come up with that video?

Well it is obvious that this album isn't their best. But the funky beats and roots are known through out this album. They hit pretty hard with the rhythms, it just shows that they were a good investment because they have come a long way from this album. Not their best but who is to say it is terrible? Not me, I think it is pretty good.

Every time I see Incubus live a small part of me always wishes that they'd just bust out into some fungus amongus. Even if they played a small part of "You Will be a hot Dancer" or "Take me to Your Leader". The very first time I heard this cd, I didn't know what to think of it. The second time, I fell in love. haha. It may not be their best stuff but it's damn good.

gotta love it. getcha groove on.

Who controls the past, controls the future
Who controls the present, controls the past

What I said for Enjoy Incubus but this is the extended version. Like a rough cut extended version, which makes it very cool & retro

Out of all the albums this is my least favorite. Of course it doesn't make me love Incubus any less, I just chalk it up to not understanding and truly appreciating the purpose of this one. Blame it on the Psychopsilocybin .... Eye-wink

I've got every Incubus CD and always find myself playing this one while in my car! Trouble in 421G and Sink beneath the line are my top 2 followed by Shaft (which isn't listed for some reason) and The Answer. I wish they'd throw one of these into there live set and watch the pit go NUTS!

Amazing I started listening to incubus after Morning View, which is an amazing album, but this is just as awsome ive only listened to a couple songs but so far i like them all im definitly getting my hands on this CD

aww man my very first album i ever buyed with my own money i had to mow my yard for this cd i was a 200 pound fat boy at age 10 it was so worth it viva INCUBUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Very different from the Incubus i knew. I got this album after ACLOTM. Took some time getting used to but still was awesome (everything they do is AWESOME).

......bring back the funk...........because........ i'm gonna be, gonna be, BE A HOT DANCER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a great album right here!! fungus amongus is really funky!! yea it does sound a little like primus and the chili peppers but those bands are great too!! so therefor this album is incredible!!

It's hard to find love yet we lose it so easily. Love Hurts

You can definitely here their influences in this album.........Mr. Bungle, Primus, Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love the songs though. One of the best.

Psychopsilocybin kicks ass!!!

:D

Honestly, who doesn't get happy or scream along when they hear "Psychopsilocybin"?
Haha
