Everything in Ebb is so awesome.

Incubus is a very good band. If you haven't seen their live DVD at Red Rock you don't know their full skill. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. They redo certain songs and at one point the bassist, (apparently much maligned to some) switches from his bass to playing a small drum set. The new bassist is awesomely skillful and I love Incubus. The new CD is not quite as good as the previous ones IMO, but they are definitely maturing once again. Gotta love Incubus.

Sleeper 03-06-2005 03:37 PM

I really wanna see that DVD, When did it come out? I would imagine some time ago.

Deth 03-08-2005 08:30 AM

The setlist blows though. Mostly the last 3 albums, which makes for a sad fanboy.

Deth 03-08-2005 09:15 AM

listening to it now.

Naveed Afzal 03-08-2005 09:23 AM

People who say Ben isnt anywhere as good as Dirk...
i wont say if you are wrong or not... i'll just say go buy or download Bens Solo album, then find some songs from The Division Group, then look for some songs by the roots(he played guitar). Then go back and listen to your favorite album with Dirk... then Listen to ACLOM... then decide...

Honeslty for me, i think Ben may be the best all around musician in the band... he plays everything and he plays it well... and he can sing... im not saying he is better then Mike, Jose, or Brandon at what they do... im saying he is capable of doing what they do...

what really suprised me was that Ben uses a pick, i heard it was a rubber pick(i use those when i have bad cuts on my fingers) from his tone you wo0uld never know he as a pick player.

A reason it think people like more is because he slaps... and slapping is so overrated... it does take skill, but its not the most important skill. Funk isnt defined by slapping, you dont have to slap to be funky... and saying Ben is like every other bass player out their shows how little you know about bass.

Deth 03-08-2005 09:40 AM

Can't we have a discussion other than Ben vs. Dirk?

misunderstood 03-08-2005 09:43 AM

I actually like Incubus...they're not my favorite band but they're all right. My favorite album is probably Make Yourself (its the only one i have actually). However, I must say i was rather disappointed when i saw them live last september. The show was just kinda...boring. Who knows, maybe it just wasn't one of their best performances but I've seen better.

Drone 03-08-2005 10:03 AM

Incbus is definitely an excellent band. The most admirable aspect of their music, in my opinion, is that it is constantly changes so the material never gets dry. S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is their greatest achievement to me because it is so funky and fairly heavy which better satisfies my constant craving for metal music. Morning View, again, in my opinion, is the worst of thier albums because it contains the least amount of great songs, but it is still good. Seeing as how some of my favorite bands are Metallica, Megadeth (best band of all time), and Slayer, I would probably class myself in the category of people who enjoy Incubus (no pun intended) no matter what genre is their favorite . Overall, Incubus is great and I hope to see much more of thier music in the future.

Alessandro 03-08-2005 02:52 PM

The Odyssey is awesome, all the four movements. Flea plays the trumpet on the Third Movement, sweet! :cool:

The last 3 albums were the best music they have ever written. Dont give me the Fungus Amongus funk speech, Im sick of it.

Deth 03-08-2005 03:59 PM

fine, I'll spare you it. But I'm thinking it in your general direction.

Cheers for the Odyssey by the way. Very cool. You can have some imaginary rep.

quoted for some truth.... all of Incubus's albums are great ... personally I am tired between Make Yourself and Morning View because their both awesome... but yea the rest is pretty much true

Deth 03-09-2005 08:04 PM

After much thought, my favorite post science song is under my umbrella. Just awesome.

Anyone else like it?

\m/ vo|ati|e \m/ 03-09-2005 08:52 PM

yea thats a leet song sounds good and easy to play :D

i like follow of halo 2 also Crowded Elevator is cool off the scream 3 st its not on any other Inc albums.

Actually, you´ll also find Crowded Elevator in When Incubus Attacks Vol 1, but that was a limited edition CD :thumb: . What´s everyone´s thoughts on Time Lapse Consortium (Incubus´ parallel project)? I think TLC is great! My favorite songs are Grimace, Cholula and Tres Puntos.

Orange Fog 03-09-2005 09:48 PM

I first got into Incubus when I heard 'Megalomaniac' about a year ago... (sorry, I was your usual MTV-drone :upset: at the time, don't fret though, I have been exposed to 'good' music) anyways, I fell in love with the song. I decided I'd just go out, buy an Incubus CD, and see if I like it. I bought "A Crow Left The Murder" (not sure about the real title... that's what I think it is...) anways, I quickly fell in love with this album as well. I plan on buying "Morning View" next, as I have downloaded songs frfom there, and like a bunch of 'em.

Just an FYI too, I like Dirk more than Ben :p

Favorite Incubus Songs:
Aqueous Transmission
Drive
Mexico
Sick Sad Little World
Agoraphobia (SP?)
Southern Girl
A Certain Shade Of Green
and last but not least: Are You In?

Deth 03-10-2005 08:28 AM

I can barely stand "are you in?" but to each his own.


Or southern girl for that matter.

Sleeper 03-10-2005 03:48 PM

Yeh i agree, Are you in is a lame song IMO. When i heard southern girl i liked it alot, Not one of my favorites on ACLOTM though.

I suggest listening to some more songs off Make Yourself and S.C.I.E.N.C.E, Your missing out!

Deth 03-11-2005 08:35 AM

You are! Go buy Make Yourself and S.C.I.E.N.C.E as soon as possible. If you like S.C.I.E.N.C.E, get Fungus Amungus, If not...somethings wrong with you.

Now for something completely different. I hope on their next album they put an instrumental on it like the Odyssey, because all the greatest bands make instrumentals and Incubus are great.


EDIT:Morning Views better than Make Yourself IMO. I didn't see that you didn't have it. Get that first.

Sleeper 03-11-2005 03:48 PM

I dont think i would enjoy a Incubus album with alot of instrumental, It would get old fast. The Odyssey was a one time thing, And thats what made it great.

Deth 03-11-2005 03:50 PM

Not full of instrumentals, just one good one. They could easily pull it off well.

BeaZ 03-12-2005 06:40 AM

I think Incubus have a unique sound, I like the use of dynamics and vocal harmonies. The bass player will be missed but i think the new one will do just fine.

Sleeper 03-12-2005 09:19 AM

What brand of guitar does Mike play, Is it fender?
