''S.C.I.E.N.C.E.'' is the second album by American rock band Incubus, released on September 9, 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 Ecstacy.

Music

''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. The song "Vitamin" appears in the film Final Destination 2.

Reception

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 don't always blend perfectly, but they 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." ''Drop-D Magazine'' reviewer Darren Kerr praised the album for its originality. In ''The New Rolling Stone Album Guide'', Kemp gave the album two out of five stars. In ''The Great Rock Discography'', Martin Charles Strong gave the album six out of ten stars.
