:rolleyes: @ bunshal's post.

Interludes? How about the interlude/guitar solo in Sick, Sad Little World? Priceless? Pistola?

Not going to argue that SCIENCE is their best work, because it's still my favorite, but you clearly want them to just keep releasing one SCIENCE-like album after another....something I thank to god that they don't do. Dirk's slap bass was awesome in the early days, but what makes you think that if they brought him back he'd start doing that again? Aside from Are You In, his basslines on Morning View were pretty mediocre.

Brandon shouting? I wouldn't mind hearing some heavier stuff on the new album, but he's got too good a voice to waste on a CD full of mindless screaming.

[QUOTE=bungshal]I just think Incubus went slowly downhill from science. Compare for instance, the bass part from Speak free.. or the interlude on Redefine to any of their new stuff.. they just kind of went mainstream. their new album bores me so much, i really can't stand any of the songs on it.
If i were them, id:
fire ben, bring back dirk.. then start writing and album that could possibly top science, put some slap bass in there, more guitar solos, more funk and have brandon shout more.[/QUOTE]

Now you've done it.

All of their albums are great though Science is my favorite. The musicianship has not gotten worse, it's gotten better. Their songs on ACLOTM are much deeper and have more substance than anything they've done before. They have evolved and if you don't like that, find another band.

I wouldnt mind hearing some harder stuff on a future album.

man thats insane...listen to sick sad little world and tell me thats not a good song...flippin great solo...and you cant tell me you cant rock hard to "priceless"...thats got their old style in it mixed with a lil bit of their new stuff...like remedy said..they are progressing as a band...if everything sounded like science a. they wouldnt be around much longer...b. theyd get compared to RHCP all the time. c. all their stuff would sound the same...like i said before losing dirk was a smart thing...in some instances i think that mike tought him alot of his parts. and pardon me (haha) for my rant but its flippin recockulous to say that they havent progressed...the parts in redefine isnt just bass too..its dirk playing with jose's toms...its not that difficult. if you listen to the stuff they have now slap bass wouldnt even fit well with it. if the new album bores you, i guess you havent heard it much.

sorry just dont F[B]uck[/B] with my band

I listened to ACLOTM all the way through today and it has now claimed my 2nd favorite Incubus album after science. Hurrah for ACLOTM!

400th post.

I would always put Make Yourself as my all time favorite, I dont know why.

Make Yourself is by far my least favorite album, I don't know why.

NP: Children of Bodom-Mask of Sanity

Well it was my first album i ever got from Incubus, And it sort of hit me that they are a amazing band. I know its not there best by any means, But when i listen to it i can play the cd over and over.

What are your favorite album covers from Incubus?

i think make yourself would have to be my favorite cover...i mean they dont have AMAZING covers haha but yeah i like the jelly fish thing

also i think Make Yourself was their turning point..where they started coming into their own sound a sound that cant be as easily compared to...kind of like how deftones had White Pony...really an album to keep them out of the Nu-Metel genre.

is there anything you dont like about incubus?
there are only two things i dont like about incubus
1. they shouldve turned up mikes guitar on the Red Rock Dvd
2. the song "just a phase"....i dont know why. but im sure i'll like it eventually...like i used to dislike "favorite things" but now i like it

[QUOTE=Sound Boy]2. the song "just a phase"....i dont know why. but im sure i'll like it eventually...like i used to dislike "favorite things" but now i like it[/QUOTE]

Man, just keep listening to it. Definately one of my favorites off MV......love the guitar progressions, the intro, and the scratching part after the 1st verse and prechorus when you expect it to get heavier.

Some things I don't like:

1. Some of Brandon's vocals the last two albums. I like that he's experimenting, but he's been messing w/that falsetto a little too much (the verse in Leech comes to mind). Hopefully he'll find a good balance on the next album.
2. While we're on Brandon, his lyrics have gone way downhill. Crow had the worst lyrics since Fungus IMO.
3. Setlists. They got better with mixing it up on the most recent tour, but they've got more than enough material now where they could switch it up every night. Saw them in Tampa and Orlando and I think there were only 2 or 3 different songs the 2nd night. I'm sick of hearing Warning, Wish You Were Here, Nice To Know You, and Stellar every single time I see them. Same would go for Drive too if they hadn't changed it up with the bada$$ bass/piano version.

[QUOTE=Sound Boy]2. the song "just a phase"....i dont know why. but im sure i'll like it eventually...[/QUOTE]

just a phase is probably my favourite incubus song... it is absolutely incredible, i can't get enough of it! i can't believe that you dont like it. it is a really well structured song and i think it catches the band at one of their collective creative peaks... that's my opinion anyway

I like Just a Phase, I think its one of the best on MV.

I don't have a favorite album cover because none of them are very good.

There's an option at the main menu for another sound thing. I don't maybe dolby something? Anyway, just switch to it and you'll hear his guitar louder.

Oh sh!t

Looks like i'm seeing incubus if my friend and i can get tix to reading.

[QUOTE=Remedy]What are your thoughts on the band Incubus. Do you like the new bassist?[/QUOTE]
Serpent Temptation is an awesome album. :thumb:

^ That joke is also not funny :thumb:

[QUOTE=clearvision]^ That joke is also not funny :thumb:[/QUOTE]
The band you guys are talking about is far more of a joke than the one I am talking about.

Considering the joke had already been made pages back, and that it is clear which badn we are talking about, your post was unfunny and irrelevant. NOw fu[COLOR=White]ck[/COLOR] off you elitist cu[COLOR=White]nt[/COLOR].

Oh, I thought this was a new thread.

What exactly did I say here that warranted me being called an "elitist cunt"?

Nothing but your posts everywhere else speak for themselves :).

If anything, it's you who is being the elitist cunt, by squashing my attempts to discuss another band of the same name.

Make a different thread, it is clear that this thread is about the incubus with albums such as Morning view. The mention of the new bassist confirms it. If you wanna talk about the other abnd start another thread.

This thread is about the [b] THE CURRENT BAND INCUBUS [/b]

i think if incubus makes a greatest hits album it should be acoustic...not just mike and brandon but the whole group acoustic...like in the first dvd. just cause it'd be different

I think a Greatest Hits album is still a few years away. I doubt it'll be acoustic as well, though it would be pretty cool

[QUOTE=clearvision]Oh sh!t

I already got mine. :p

Having said that, I've already seen them live anyway.

I wouldnt dig a acoustic greatist hits album, It wouldnt have all the effects in there song. Besides, Mike writes all the songs first acoustic style.

/will be seeing them at Leeds

what do you think is Mikes greatest song? not counting the Odyssey...
