The problem with this track, as well as most Incubus in the past ten years, isn't that it's bad; it's more that it's just not worth giving a shit about.

Lol, what a creative album title. Ranks right up there with Th1rt3en by Megadeth and all of Peter Gabriel and Led Zeppelin's self-titled albums

Band I gave up on a long time ago continues to unimpress. Neat

Even though the chorus is sort of lame to me and I don't want this sound from them this is better than anything I've heard from these guys in a minute

Even though this wasn't very impressive, I'm still intrigued. Bands like Incubus, they often release singles vastly inferior to the album itself. Though I gotta agree that the album name does not give me much assurance. We'll see.

It's decent. Not a borefest like If Not Now was. Still kinda forgettable

Song's pretty good. Glad they gave up on the sound of their last album. This is more like their ACLOTM/Light Grenades stuff.

Never trust a band if they claim their next album is a "return to roots".

It's like they obtained that ACLOTM-era sound for the first 30 seconds (which I was completely fine with) until the chorus came and all energy/hope was lost.

didn't honestly think the chorus was that bad. it's very poppy but it's not that far a cry from the stuff on light grenades. it's nothing phenomenal but i don't see what's so awful about it

@onionbubs don't tell Rowan what he likes and doesn't like please

that wasn't supposed to be an attack although i can see how it could be read that way. i was just pointing out that he was a fan of their latest album. if you liked the direction of that record this will probably be a step down. if you didn't like it, this will be a step up because it has some more life in it which was people's biggest complaint with the last one.

it's really not that bad at all, however will concede it doesn't sound much like Incubus, in fact if I wasn't aware this was an Incubus track, I'd think it was a Jimmy Eat World track

Jimmy Eat World? What drugs are you people on? This sounds like Incubus even if you dislike it.

Agreed. Song may not be amazing or anything, but this does sound like Crow/Grenades era Incubus.

"Megalomaniac" played a lot on Fuse back when. I don't know. I adore both bands, though.

Incubus is considerably bigger. Especially when you get out of the US, they have had way more success abroad.

But even when you just look at the US, it's pretty clear they are/were bigger. JEW's highest US albums sold peaks are 5 and 6, while Incubus has had three albums peak at #2 and one hit #1. (even Incubus' last album, which most of us consider crap, peaked at #2) Incubus has had four songs hit #1 on US alt chart to Jimmy Eat World's two.

Longetivity-wise Incubus' albums have also sold wayyy more after the initial chart period, if you look at how many gold/plat albums the two bands have it's not even a little close.

Not that I'm hating on Jimmy Eat World, just saying this is wrong.
