    Morning View was their Masterpiece. Great Album. Circles, I wish you were here, the amazing Blood on the ground, Warning, 11am all great songs.
    Morning View is their best record and it's one of my fav abum EVER.
    ACLOTM is something like the dark side, more heavier than m.v.. Some great songs like Megalomaniac, Agarophobia, Zee Devil, Pistola and Priceless but I def prefer Morning View.
    Light Grenades isn't bad but I'm sick off hearing Love hurts
    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.

    Oh yeah, I forgot, you're supposed to have a new favourite band every six years aren't you. How could I forget?

    silly statement. murder was well received from fans and critics alike.

    That's funny, I think it has the best lyrics of any of Incubus's albums.



    REALLY?


    Met my match today
    Felt the blood rushing and mingling
    A curious and enigmatic thing
    Spiders in my dreams
    Synchronicity weaves like a web
    When you were meant to be a meal

    I want you bad!
    I want you bad!
    I understand why they say
    high school never ends

    Never act my age
    You can tell by the lines in my smile
    That I have been around for awhile
    So, insecurities
    Are about as useful as trying
    To put the pin back in the grenade

    I want you bad!
    I want you bad!
    I understand why they say
    high school never ends

    I want you bad!
    I want you bad!
    I understand why they say
    high school never stops

    This isn't coincidence
    There's no such thing
    This isn't coincidence, no
    This isn't coincidence
    It's no such thing.
    This isn't, no

    I want you bad!
    I want you bad!

    high school never ends

    You can have that one, but I love the lyrics to Sick Sad Little World, Here In My Room, Talk Shows on Mute, Agoraphobia. . .
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    it fits the music and the song man

    and also lets hear some of your music/lyrics so we can base a comparison..

    Shut up. That's the biggest cop out response ever.


    I don't care if it fits the song. "I WANT YOU BAD! NOW I KNOW WHY THEY SAY HIGH SCHOOL NEVER ENDS" is the worst. chorus. EVER.


    Vedder could crap better lyrics.

    I'm not defending the chorus of the song, as it isn't great (incidentally I do like the song, and the music is great), but in my opinion, a MUCH worse chorus is:

    "Like Pilate, I have a dog".

    The way I see it, these lyrics are supposed to be taken ironically. The song is about the fact that even a grown man, when he's in love, can feel as if it's for the first time; sometimes love is so illogical, it feels juvenile. It makes you feel like a fuckin teenager all over again. Hence the deliberately bad 'I want you bad!' It's a fully grown man echoing the sentiments of a teenager. I've no problem with these lyrics at all..

    Not on the Incubus forums. It strayed more people away... because it didn't sound like "Morning View" (which so many people loved to death)... and then ACLOTM came out... and they had a new bassist. So, it took people a while. And I didn't even see reviews about it... wait, actually, I think the only review I saw was in Rolling Stone and they gave it a shitty review... like one little paragraph and three stars. That's not really saying much.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    Very nice view on the song.

    Great album. But it's still their weakest to date.

    No way.. Light Grenades is their worst, by a large margin.

    Light Grenades are not so grenadeish. they are more like firecrackers. And Morning View is one the most...in the history of mankind.

    I was just poking around on their Wikipedia site(I know don't believe everything you read on Wiki) but it mentions podcasts that contain covers of Black Hole Son and Would?
    Does anyone have those in mp3 form?

    "insecurities
    Are about as useful as trying
    To put the pin back in the grenade"

    That is one of the best lines in a song.
    Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?
