There is no such thing called bad Incubus song.

Can I unhear this song?

As an owner of many Inc albums, this song is still ho-hum no matter what. Better tracks abound, but would be too hard for this station.

joe jackson?

Really?

I really like these guys. Subtle surprises. Lots of reaching and stretching.

woah ... i've never heard incubus on RP.
not my thing.

I seem to be in the minority on this, but I liked this album, and this song, better than a lot of the earlier material, which tacked towards 311, in a derivative sense... The new material on Crow i thought was much more mature and a welcomed departure (at least to me). I felt the same way about the latest Chili Peppers album in that it too was more mature than the old work, and I enjoyed this new approach as well, unlike the majority of RP listeners, sad to say.

This was a great song the first five thousand times I heard in the summer of 2004.

I'm not sure why there is so much backlash to this song, but I like it with some reservations. (6)

Joe Jackson, is that you?

Everyone's got an opinion...

The songwriting of this band has definitely suffered recently and albums like S.C.I.E.N.C.E and Fungus are their best work, but not all of their mellow music is deserving of such harsh criticism. Morning View is a great album all in all.

"Real" aficionados always want to pick on anything remotely commercial or remotely different from a band's earlier work before they went "corporate"

Granted not their best work but deserves more than this rating.

...there's mine

Man, this is a funny choice. I play in a hard rock band and we cover a lot of their older material... an earlier poster mentioned they topped out on their album Science and I agree. You would have a hard time believing this was the same band.

I love Incubus!

For me Incubus is one of the best rock bands ever cause for every album I needed several months to start liking and then loving it. They're just great.

If someone were to ask me if I liked Incubus, I'd tell 'em "heck naw." But every time I hear one of their tracks, I think to myself "well, that ain't so bad."

Underrated by the scenester group think, IMO.

squared.

This band has gone steadily downhill.

SCIENCE is better than every other album they've released by a factor of 10. And no, I'm not saying this because I'm a hardcore junkie, I'm saying it because they only have one solid album.

Bits and pieces of more recent albums are good... this song is not an example.

Reminds me of Toad the Wet Sprocket without all that songwriting talent, singing, musicianship, genius baggage.

New title proposal: "This Song on Mute". Works for me.

Yawn.
