Fear Yourself
''Fear Yourself'' is an album by the American musician Daniel Johnston, released in 2003. It was produced by Mark Linkous. The album included an 8-page booklet with exclusive Daniel Johnston drawings. Critical reception '' The Independent'' wrote that the "fancy production ... works to a point, but, by the end, you find yourself preferring Johnston's usual eerie starkness." '' The Washington Post'' determined that "Johnston's pained, humble songs are eerie and sensuous, emotionally textured in a way that demands only amplification, and Linkous's vintage box of tricks suits the songs beautifully." '' The New York Times'' concluded that Linkous's contribution to the music "reveals the cracked, epic romances hidden within Mr. Johnston's singsong."

His cult status was propelled when Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was seen wearing a T-shirt that featured artwork from Johnston's 1983 cassette album ''Hi, How Are You''.
