Did anyone else notice the striking similarities between the chorus of "A Kiss To Send Us Off" and "World Wide Suicide"?
OMG you're right!
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
To the folks negative to the porduction to quicksand and how it would be better with out o'brein doing it. Quicksand was recorded and mixed by Einziger.

I think Light grenades is really good. progressions are very nice for me. Not as much guitar work as i would like however. A very coheisive Album.
(Pow, ha!)
Imagine your brain as a canister filled with ink, yeah
now think of your body as the pen where the ink resides
use the two, kapow! what are you now?
you're the human magic marker
won't you please surprise my eyes?
it's in your nature, you can paint whatever picture you like
no matter what Ted Koppel says on channel 4 tonight
so modify this third rock from the sun
by painting myriads of pictures with the colors of the one
I'm sick of painting in black and white
my pen is dry, now I'm uptight
so sick of limiting myself
to fit your definition
I'm sick of painting in black and white
my pen is dry, now I'm uptight
so sick of limiting myself
to fit your definition
Picture the scene, where whatever you thought would
in the blink of an eye, manifest and become illustrated
you'd be sure man that every line drawn
reflected a life that you loved
not an existence that you hated
so must we demonstrate that we can't get it straight?
we've painted a picture, now we're drowning in paint
lets figure out what the fuck it's about
before the picture we painted chews us up and spits us out
I'm sick of painting in black and white
my pen is dry, now I'm uptight
so sick of limiting myself
to fit your definition
I'm sick of painting in black and white
my pen is dry, now I'm uptight
so sick of limiting myself
to fit your definition
Redefine
oooh yeah
I'm sick of painting in black and white
my pen is dry, now I'm uptight
so sick of limiting myself
to fit your definition
Must we demonstrate that we can't get it straight?
we've painted a picture, now we're drowning in paint
lets figure out what the fuck it's about

Written by a 21 year old with a head full of psilocybin.. this is the stuff of theirs I love

A Crow Left of the Murder... - 9 / 10
i'm not loving it. :(
i've listened to it a few times now, granted only in the car....need to give it a full listen start to finish, uninterrupted at home, but it simply isn't 'grabbing' me. now i will say, it IS growing on me...b/c i totally disliked it first listen, utterly disappointed, and now there's a few tracks i am liking more and more...but yea....thus far, no comparison to their other albums. as i said, i hope in time it grows more on me...and the fact i am seeing them live for the first time in january, hoping i may fall in love with em live....we'll see. i LOVE incubus, and i especially always love jose's drumming.....and i happen to LOVE the new bass player, he brings a LOT to the table imo...all great musicians to me....so yea.........i'll keep on listening...
More and more of the songs are starting to catch on for me. I think it is probably going to be like A Crow... where I almost didn't listen to it at all for a month or two then realized how amazing it was.

i've listened to it a couple times through... the more i hear of it the more it grows on me, although some songs seem like filler. it's a decent album, but nothing spectacular.

To resist is to piss in the wind
Anyone who does will end up smelling
Knowing this, why do I defy?
Because my inner voice is yelling
There is a fist pressing against anyone who thinks something compelling
Our intuit we're taught to deny
And our soul we're told is for selling
Get out from under them
Resist and multiply
Get out from under precipice and see the sky
Get out from under them
Resist, unlearn, defy
Get out from under precipice and see the sky

None really. Just like all the other albums are different. It's a progerssion from ACLOTM.
Obviosly nowhere near as heavy as SCIENCE (for those of you who haven't realised it yet, and there are a LOT of you, Incubus is not going to make another record that sounds like SCIENCE, or any other of their albums), but not really much like morning view either. If you had to liken it to another album, it's most like ACLOTM, but still not much like it.
The only way to really decide is listen yourself. Unless you just like SCIENCE. Then don't bother.
I know. That's me I guess. I have to check out their albums in the hopes of the old energy resurfacing, but I may just have to give it up. too bad they left the promising path they were carving on SCIENCE. Make yourself was decent enough. Morningview had a couple of moments. Perhaps 2 songs on ACLOM, and have been listening a bit to the new one.
They're good musicians, but they dont make that interesting music anymore. It's not shite, it's mostly ok. But not more. So I'm one of those SCIENCE nostalgists, I'm afraid. Gimme Deep Inside or New Skin anytime. SCIENCE is way up on my "classic albums" list. *Sigh* Oh well. I'll leave this to those who like their current direction. To me, they've gone "U2".
Peace

"Every judgment teeters on the brink of error. To claim absolute knowledge is to become monstrous. Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty." - Frank Herbert, Dune, 1965
alrighty, i've given the album it's proper due....and it HAS grown on me, has taken longer than any of their previous albums to do so in fact. it seems each album takes longer and longer to grow on me...although this is the first to have not even one song 'grab' me from the get go.
that said, i DO like it. i LOVE anna molly definitely my fave track on the album, look forward to hearing it live. the first 5 - 6 tracks are solid, but i STILL really cannot stand earth to bella just gets on my nerves, so a definite skipped track, no matter how many times i try to listen through. oil and water is ok, and as jams already mentioned, diamonds and coal pretty damn cheesy. now tracks 10 - 11 as strong as the first 6, rogues and especially paper shoes....quite good....pedulous threads is alright, and once again, earth to bella part 2, no better than part 1.
so 8 - 9 tracks out of 13 i really like, probably 2 i love....so just leaves 4 or 5 lacking. which is sad for an incubus album for me, i usually love almost all their albums in their entirety, or maybe just 1 - 2 filler songs....but sure i still think it's a good album.
as always, i ADORE pasilla's drumming, probably my fave drummer still active today, reminds me of my first musical love, the police, and drummer stewart copeland. so yea....cannot wait to see em live!
i take back my previous post about having to give it a couple months before i listen to it again because i was on a hungover drive to work a few days ago and just realized how amazing this record is. I think paper shoes and diamonds and coal are two of the best tracks on there. really like the rest of the album excluding the earth to bella parts. one final note, I wish quicksand was more of a song rather than an album intro. they could have done something great with that song had it been around the 3 and 1/2, 4 minute mark.
i just downloaded this cd and im halfway thru it and this is some of their best all around work in years from beginning to end...the past couple cd's have had a few good songs but this is a listen for sure
Just bought the album today and I find it.................great. Ways better than a crow left of the murder but it is too early to compare it with Morning view ( THE masterpiece)
Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
Butt-head: Well, they both suck.
I don't like it at all, I found 2 good songs after 2 or 3 listens, not what I was hoping for, now I'm glad I didn't get tickets to see them..
I saw them live and I think that they are better being studio musicians, didn't blow me away but still like the records. They are not a live band like pearl jam is it seems they make music for records.

i would have to agree with you on this one...i saw them at the University of New Hampshire when i was working for a radio station up there at the time and i was not impressed with them live at all....well except for the drum solo that was sick
