Editing S.C.I.E.N.C.E. (section)

===Title and artwork===
In 1997, Einziger claimed that the title reflected the experimental nature of the album, and the creative freedom the band were given. He was quoted as saying, "our album is called ''S.C.I.E.N.C.E.'' because we were able to experiment. We were able to take our time and get everything to sound the way we wanted it to — weird science and energetic funk."<ref name="ly">{{Cite web|url=https://manduhinc.tripod.com/incyabusandyermom/id41.html|title=Incu- Bio|website=manduhinc.tripod.com}}</ref><ref name="ug04">{{Cite web|url=https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/articles/features/incubus_brandon_boyd_the_artist-42325|title=Incubus' Brandon Boyd: The Artist|website=www.ultimate-guitar.com}}</ref> It has also been mentioned by various band members that the acronym ''S.C.I.E.N.C.E.'' stands for ''Sailing Catamarans Is Every Nautical Captain's Ecstasy''. "Sometimes, we just sit around and come up with these for laughs.  In other words, there's not just one meaning, it's just food for thought," said Boyd in 1998.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.obiwan.com/ozzfest/interview_incubus.html|title=Ozzfest 98 - Interviews - Incubus|website=www.obiwan.com}}</ref> In other early interviews, band members claimed that the title stood for ''Stupid Cops Invade Everyone's Natural Chaotic Energy'', ''Sounds Cool in Eyes Near Communistic Entities'' and ''Surreal Cats in Economics Never Communicate Estacticly''.<ref name="faq">{{Cite web|url=http://incubus_idiot421.tripod.com/incubusidiots/id4.html|title=F.A.Q.|website=incubus_idiot421.tripod.com}}</ref>

The cover art features a photo of the head of Boyd's father, who had earlier appeared on the cover of ''Enjoy Incubus''. The source of the photos were unknown at the time, and the man on the cover of these releases came to be known as 'Chuck'.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kerrang.com/a-deep-dive-into-incubus-pardon-me-video|title=A deep dive into Incubus' Pardon Me video|date=October 19, 2019|website=Kerrang!}}</ref> The cover is also the first to include the band's current logo, which has been used on every subsequent studio album (with the exception of ''[[A Crow Left of the Murder...]]'' and ''[[Light Grenades]]'').
