I immediately enjoyed this a lot more that ACLOTM. This is a very different direction for Incubus... something I don't think anyone could have anticipated. I DO enjoy it, but it's just so interesting to me because I now realize that the reasons I enjoy Incubus (bad pun) now are totally different than the reasons I enjoyed them years ago. It's practically two completely different bands.
And Mike Einziger never ceases to impress me.Originally posted by GnomadOriginally posted by auto-de-fe -
If you enjoy this album now, I would suggest revisiting ACLOTM. This one seems to have a more even flow, but I think that album is just as good.Comment

Downloading it now... I've got high hopes for this. I loved ACLOTM as well, and you are right about it being almost like 2 different bands. However I think that's definitely a good thing. Plus its quite handy that I happen to like most of the stuff Incubus has done, despite the different directions they've taken.Comment

Wow... I didn't really hear a difference... sounded like plain old Incubus to me. It's not bad, but it's my least favorite Incubus album besides Fungus Amongus. That's always a good thing, though. When your least favorite album from a band is still enjoyable.Comment

Thanks for posting...
The general style sounds very similar to ACLOTM, which I didn't enjoy much at all, but after a quick first listen I think the songs are somewhat stronger this time around. It's become obvious that nothing they do from this point on is going to touch the SCIENCE-Make Yourself era for me, but then that's just me.Comment

Different...i wasn't sure what to make of some of the randomness at first...but I like it....it's not top-notch but it's good. For me, Science and Fungus/Enjoy are the albums I can't listen to anymore, they just didn't hold up over this length of time for me. My memories of what those record were was much better then they actually are.- Jon

So...
I really like:
Quicksand
A Kiss to Send Us Off
Light Grenades
Rogues
Pendulous Threads (one of the best songs they've ever written)
The slower songs (excluding "Quicksand") all sound cheesy.

haha.. That's a horrible lyricline... .. I would listen to this if it wasn't for the fact that I forgot my headphones at work :|..... it's been a boring weekendComment

The one track that stands out to me right now is "Dig." Fairly simple and straightforward, but I think it has big hit potential. Sort of a "Drive"ish vibe to it, but more melodic and interesting musically.Comment

Yeah I'm pretty much feeling the same about this. All in all, I like the songs I like, but about half of the album I could do without. Particularly that Earth to Bella pile of wang. It could be forgiven once...but then there's a part 2? Why?! If it was an EP with the crap taken out of it...it would be damn good though in my opinion.Comment
