i wish people would stop arguing about whether or not they love old or new incubus more, whether dirk or ben is better and whether theyre sell outs. incubus is one of the few bands that still makes music the way they want to and they do it for themselves, because essentially that is what theyre supposed to do. they should make music for themselves and not cater to what we think. i respect them reglardess and theyre all amazing human beings, just that growth is a part of life.
Videojudge is an idiot. Pop-Rock? Seriously? And to say that Brandon's vocals are "Poppy Pansy-ass sounding" is absolutely absurd. He's got an even more dynamic range now at 35 years old than he did when he was 20. You sir, have received an EPIC FAIL.
it's Crazy how much their sound has evolved, compare this to morning view. I don't know of musicians that have openly experimented with their own sound as much as these guys have, diehard fan, these guys know how to music
yea man me too. SCIENCE is pretty saweet. the last record i really enjoyed by them was Make Yourself. Morning View could have been better, but it had some good songs on it, same with Crow Left to Murder.
Now i was pretty displeased when i heard Light Grenades. the only song from that album i liked was 'Dig'. none of the other ones were that good. and their new single 'Black Heart Inertia' isnt any better. hav u heard it? i mean wut gives, guys??
Black Heart Inertia wasn't really good, but in Light Grenades there are really good songs in there like Rogues, Anna Molly, A Kiss To Send Us Off, Earth To Bella, Oil And Water.
Those were good songs, but of course the first albums were the best.
i know what ur saying but to be honest i did not like any of those songs because to me it all sounded like just a bunch of pop-rock, which i hate, with all having pretty much the same simple musical structure, shat-out guitar chords, basic drum beats and Brandyn's new disappointing poppy-ass pansy-sounding vocals. i hate to say it but they truly seem to be selling out
Incubus definitely doesn't have the raw creative drive they had back then. It may just be that they've run out of original ideas having made so many good albums. From a bassist's point of view Ben Kenney is like a 6.5 whereas Dirk was a 10. Even though, Light Grenades was unfortunate, one always has the previous albums to enjoy. I personally enjoyed A Crow Left of the Murder...just not as much as I enjoyed the albums with Dirk on them.
Dude, boggie your a fuckin moron.. they dont suck now.. they actually got alot better imo..brandons voice has matured alot.. i doubt he could sing this song the same..
dude, incubus are a watered down pop band now. Back in the day they were the funkiest bad ass rock band with really enjoyable intricate musicianship. Go educate yourself.
Just think, a year later they make Make Yourself, totally different sound, they look totally different... they can reinvent themselves so easily, it's awesome.
yh, he cut them b4 they released it. Not straight after science tho.. that wud be 1997... Wud have been writing MY songs i presume b4 he cut them. (maybe).
you cut out the cool part in the begining with the digeridoo. Dirk Lance apparently was an asshole and full of himself. I'm guessing it did have something to do with incubus changing their sound so much.. The song sick sad little world is apparently about him
Not sure but it might have been that he didn't like the new directions that incubus was taking. The way that they were turning away from the style of funk/metal into more alternative.
this video is not on any dvd fool. only the songs that weren't performed on the sno core set made their way to the dvd. it's a vcr recording of the original airing of the concert on Channel 62 Hammond/Chicago. chicago area has always been incubus' strongest followers outside of LA. they used to always show random concerts late Friday nights on this station, i remember watching many as i was growing up in the mid-90's.
I play the bass, and maybe Dirk wasn´t creative, but try to do that fast mutes that he does, tape you on video and upload to youtube and I will retire my bad opinion about Ben Kenney
there is a difference to being a sell out and being creative and evolving. If thats what you call selling out than there apparently is no such thing as evolution. Evolution by definition is adapting to nature. If you think theyre sell outs watch the VMA interview in the Penthouse. Brandon and Mike werent even there and the rest of the band was just pissed off.
Well man, it's just things that happen, DJ Life isn't playing in incubus too... Kenney is a very talented bassist, and he gave a new sound to incubus, but you know, there's a lot of people (myself included) that miss dirk's funk and slapping of s.c.i.e.n.c.e. and previous cd's, so, don't hate dirk...
PS:The only thing that i don't like about ben is that he doesn't slap on A Certain Shade of Green
u knw y they made an acoustic version of this song? coz ben kenney can't SLAP like dirk...he's not as dedicated in playing bass as dirk was...i lyk their old stuff better
are you serious? i dont think it has to do with a lack of skill. Ben Kenney can slap he just doesnt do it cause it doesnt fit to the new sound and dirk had no dedication. If he did youd be hearing his name somewhere. Plus if dirk was so dedicated how come he didnt write the bass lines?
anyone that thinks that Incubus has "sold out" or gone soft is a complete moron that doesn't know jack shit about music or what it takes to be an inventive and creative artist in general. So to all you trend hoppers and band wagoneers fuck off and leave the good music out there to the ones who appreciate it... namely REAL musicians and REAL music enthusiaists.
nah. if u like bands that can consistently grow musically, then yea you can say incubus has gotten better with age. sure, their music isnt as aggressive, but they're STILL the best live. mike and ben play some kick ass solos during their shows. this band is fucking talented
what the hell...they were never nu-metal even if they were touring witn nu-metal bands like Korn, Orgy etc. they were alot Fungus Amongus is more funk-metal, and even in that time they said that they didnt want the people to label them because of the band they were touring with.
to get it straigh they were never rock-rap or nu metal. They blended several genres together and the band would be insulted if ud refer them to nu metal. The bass lines are too funk to be nu metal.
hey SOURPATCH125, check bmgmusic dot com (wouldnt let me put the URL itself lol). trust me, im VERY sure that they should have copies of it. i know they used to a couple years ago, and i dont think they would just stop selling them, ya know. but just check it out.
speaking of fungus amongus, does anyone know where I can find a new copy of that? I've been looking for a long time now and it seems like NOBODY sells that album.
yea go to mymorg . org and click on music. then go down to incubus and click on fungus. there are all the songs in mp3 format. just right click them and click save-target as.
i see most people here agree with me.. incubus used to be a nu metal band... wich was all good... but then i hear anna mollie and come on... the song is good, ok, but too pop for my taste. Nothing like this anyway.
i agree dirk was a great bassist, he inspired me to play bass. ben is different but hes a creative musician and hes allowed the other members to let loose, because like it or not hes a technically proficient bass player who is more open to other kinds of music than dirk was. honestly if incubus made a record like S.C.I.E.N.C.E today it would sound dated. that is why its so special, its a time capsule of them as a young talented band.
I LOVE ALL INCUBUS, DEAL WITH IT.

never actually knew what genre they were in 1998 because they sound different and new but really good.
This is the very first song I heard from incubus. FAMILY VALUES. after i heard the song, I purchased S.C.I.E.N.C.E
