[QUOTE=Alessandro]I think Brandon will screw up most of Incubus songs with all those stupid chord progressions. I mean thake a look at Pantomime, what the f#ck! I don´t really think a song needs to be complex in order to sound good, but I still think Mike is the one who should be responsible for writing the guitar parts, I mean, he´s a guitarist that´s what he´s supposed to do.[/QUOTE]
For how simple "Pantomime" is, it's still a really good song. I actually think it would be kind of cool if Brandon played a little rythem.

I wish Mike and Ben would leave Incubus and start a new band where they can actually showcase their talents to full extent.

Incubus is all about Brandon now, and the record companies are exploiting that to it's full extent.

Crow Left of the Murder wasn't, but it seems like they are focusing more on Brandon now.

I have to disagree completely. If anything, the band is less about Brandon than it once was. The last album/tour had tons of focus on the instruments.

There's only been three songs released since that album.

Considering that ACLOTM has more solo's/instrumental breakdowns than any other album of theirs, then yes, they ARE focusing more on Brandon...

I'm not talking about ACLOTM, I'm talking about what's been going on throughout the past year or so.

They kind of are focusing more on Brandon, but I think that they are trying to evenly distribute the attention so to speak. Everyone gets his spotlight on Crow if you think about it. They all get to showcase their talents at some point, I'm hoping that the new album will continue in that direction.

There's only been three songs though. Ben and Mike should quit Incubus because they don't get to show off in 3 songs they wrote for a movie?

You know, despite what everyone says about the Stealth stuff, I actually enjoy listening to those three songs. I definetely think they did better with this than they did with the Spawn soundtrack.

I like them too. The only song I have a problem with is Neither of Us Can See. I like the song a lot, but I wish they went in a different direction after the solo. It builds up but then just dies down completely to go into another verse.

It is a bit anticlimactic isn't it lol. I do like it though.

Argh. I'm talking about press coverage, and their latest tour in Europe and Latin America.

Blasphemy!!!

Brandon has his showcasing moments cause he can. he is getting better at singing and hitting certain notes. vocals are instruments too. if the record companies were exploiting it, they would havegot better press for Crow and they would have defintaly have been noticed on HALO2 better. face it the people that who have heard the movements and know its them is the FANs and if they were trying to exploit Brandon talents they woulda had him sing more on those.

and i think Mike showcased alot of his talents in CROW expeciall in "sick sad little world"

plus they have TLC

Brandon + Mike + Jose are the dynamics of the group..without them you dont have incubus. and ben has his solo stuff and its not HALF as good as what he did in Incubus and the Roots

No way. Ben's stuff is awesome.

its good just not AS good

Actually there has been more than that.

Make A Move
The Oddessey
Memories and Melodies (or whatever it's called)
Pantomine
and I think there were 2 more songs on the Stealth soundtrack

I meant three songs written since the recording of Crow.

i know what your talkin about..the past year or so... the Stealth songs were 3 songs on a soundtrack, so they halfassed it. just like in "familiar" it was more about DJ Greyboy and Brandon it sounded halfassed too..it just happens that "familiar" kicked alot of ***. only "make a move" got rotation here in the states and that was the good of the 3. so they didnt get much press on the whole thing. im not tryna argue with you dude i just saw "so-and-so should leave incubus" and i got heated. and this is the last thing i'll say about Brandon having the spotlight or whatever its because he's the lead singer. sooooooooooo many bands are noticed for their lead singer (plant, jagger, ozzy,cobain, etc) its just the way things go.

its alright to have a band noticed for their singer, but brandon is not the most talented individual in the group, thats the way it is

[QUOTE=issues]its alright to have a band noticed for their singer, but brandon is not the most talented individual in the group, thats the way it is[/QUOTE]

no doubt...i thought Robert Plant was the least talented member of Led Zeppelin. and theres a bunch others
but thats a good example because its gonna be hard for a solo career to start after the band departs. both for Page and Plant and Page was amazing.

They should play some TLC stuff live at inc concerts,its amazing i think mike did it to vent,as for people saying its all about brandon,right from day one hes been playing toppless he dont do it for the womens,mike got to showcase some solos his who guitar playing now is quite tecy compared to earlier stuff ,if mike left the band it wouldnt be the same and if brandon did DITTO,the band as a whole has changed since Alex left,and ACLOTM was the first album with new elements and a new feel.
The next album will be even more different,but will contain the 2 elements that are incubus,Brandons voice and mikes guitar.

Should we try to get this thread official, we should try to get a good name for the thread.

Yeah I think Brandon originally took his shirt off to either show his tattoos or cool off a little, but now I'm sure it's partly for the ladies. As for Mike: listen to anything before [I]Make Yourself[/I] and you'll hear many solos. And the "elements of Incubus," as you call them, aren't just Brandon and Mike. They are all of the members, whether with Alex or Ben, it is the band collectively that makes the music. [I]A Crow Left of the Murder[/I] wasn't the first "new" album, almost every album has been different, they like to explore their music a lot and that's one of my favorite qualities of the band.

i was too

I just got into Incubus recently when I purchased S.C.I.E.N.C.E. out of nowhere.
Holy shiznit! They are really funky! The only stuff I heard beforehand were the singles, which were just radio friendly rock songs, but songs like New Skin and Glass are absolutely incredible.
