Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Off

I don't think this album is THAT bad, No Fun, Nimble Bastard, and Loneliest stand out as fun tracks, to me anyway. Loneliest's lyrics weird me out a bit, "I guess I'm going digital tonight", is Brandon saying "I'm gonna jerk off to porn tonight"?

Album Rating: 1.0

in retrospect INNW was pretty good

This really doesn't read like a review of staff calibre rowan :/ sorry

in retrospect INNW was pretty good

You release an album to make the previous one a better option even if it was bad. That's so hilarious

My best guess is that incubus is suffering from the iron maiden syndrome: and I'll explain it to make clear the concept

Remember all the albums Maiden released through the 90's? If you know which are the popular opinion of those 4 albums, you got the idea.

Album Rating: 0.5

we cool pots - you're right, I just did not have the energy to write a high-quality review for this, if this review sucks then it fits the album snugly

its not bad or anything by any means its just a little strange to read something so aloof from a staffer

Album Rating: 0.5

I feel ya, if I wasn't a huge fan of this band's earlier work I probably would have tried to elaborate on why I hate it but this being a crushing disappointment just led me to not care

Album Rating: 2.0

don't get the low ratings, this album sounds par for the course for incubus

Album Rating: 1.0

Incubus really have mastered every annoying rock related genre through their career. I mean that's quite an impressive feat in itself.



They started irritating in a dopey stoner humour way...then a ball-less funk inflected nu metal horrifyingly shit mashup (horrifying mainly because this is when people thought they were actually good)...then a never less than grating surfer bro model shoot radio bait style...and now this personality devoid white out that could be literally the work of a thousand other useless middle hitters.



Bravo.

you forgot they also tried to be u2 at one point, which is undoubtably an annoying rock related genre they mastered

I found this review to be uninformative. The author takes a strong stance against the album but doesn't provide enough evidence to support his argument. Considering the extremely low rating there should have been plenty of concrete examples of how incubus missed. Saying that the album is obviously bad is far from convincing. He only makes references to one weak metaphor and a joke song. I understand the point he makes about the joke song (which I do agree with his point) but I think it's important to point out that the song really isn't about a kid learning to shower. I only bring this up because it adds to my feeling that the author didn't familiarize himself enough with the album before making a review.

In general I do like comparisons to past albums as a reference point. I definitely value the authors familiarity with their previous work but he does little with his knowledge other than express longing for the good old days. It doesn't provide evidence why this album is a 0.5 . If anything it shows the author had a bias, and was trying to fit this album into the narrative that incubus is on the decline. At least the author is open about his bias as is evident with his comments about Sonny producing the album.



This review is far from complete. It reminds me of a student who forgot to do their homework, skim read the book and then wrote a book report 15 mins before class. This review belongs in the comment section not as staff review.

Album Rating: 3.5

For the record. I do like this album but I agree that some lyrics are weak and moments like the chorus for nimble bastard are kind of boring. But at this point in their career I'm happy with adding a handful of songs to my incubus playlist. Id recommend Love in a time of surveillance, throw the map, and glitter bomb.

Saying you know you're review is unprofessional and lazy but you just couldn't muster the energy to do your job properly sounds a lot like you shouldn't be staff, friend.



Professionalism doesn't end if you don't like something.

Shut the fuck up

Rowan, this is the worst review i have ever read. I created my profile here just to tell you how it sucks. You probably so full of hate that you listen to music through your ass.

No respect at all. Give me a favour and stop spreading your hate. Do something useful instead. bye
