Always loved Incubus, and I really enjoyed their new song 'Absolution Calling'. Looks like they have 2 EPs upcoming. First one in March! second over the summer. Really looking forward to them, however, the first EP is listed at $26 for the 4 song vinyl. Kinda steep for four tracks.

    Agreed. I heard Absolution Calling on radio 104.5 yesterday and I thought it blew away my first impression of their last album. (That I actually bought the CD of but never listen to it..)

    I hope these guys tour this year, or atleast play 1 festival that I can get to!

    It's good, I really like it. It's different, faster, more poppy than anything on the last album. I did enjoy the last album though, a lot, but I know a lot of people did not. Anyway, I'm excited to hear more.

    Been a really, really long time since I've listened to them. I just found this on YouTube. Pretty cool stuff!

    I had no idea these guys were still playing music, but listened to their first single and was pretty impressed, actually! Cool stuff.

    I must be in the minority because I think the new song is kind of weak. It's very "Crow Left Of The Murder" sounding. It's going to take a while to grow on me..if it does at all.

    And some of the tracks off the last album were brilliant. A very underrated album.

    I'm gonna have to check it out. I love ACLotM! I'll be honest, haven't really listened to them much since Crow. Light Grenades never grew on me, and I haven't heard any of their last album.

    Light Grenades was adult contemporary to me, their last one was even moreso. I haven't heard the new track yet, but if it does have a "Crow" sound to it, I'll dig it. I used to spin that cd in my discman daily!

    I was fortunate enough to see them before they blew up. Science had just been released and they were supporting 311 on their Transistor tour. (Sugar Ray was the main supporting act, but that's a story for another day - fuck Mark McGrath is all I have to say). Anyway, I was completely blown away by Incubus. So much so, that I had a friend of mine who worked in a music store order the Science CD for me and I went around telling everyone about them like a little fanboy.

    I was not excited about Sugar Ray at all. At one point the entire arena cheered and applauded when McGrath threatened to stop playing and leave the stage. He stage dove and someone grabbed his shoe. And he kept bitching about getting his shoe back or they were gonna leave. That guy is such a douche nozzle. He took up a good chunk of 311's stage time just being a pompous asshole. At one time he left the stage claiming he had to go take a shit. And he was gone for a good 10 minutes so I have no doubt that's what he probably did. They were on stage for nearly 2 hours and played about 45 minutes worth of music.

    I always say out of the 3 bands I saw that night, Incubus was by far the best. 311's performance wasn't really their fault. They only had an hour of stage time (midnight curfew on WVU campus) so they rushed to get as many songs in as possible.

    I don't like Absolution Calling at all. Sounds like something Linkin Park or Crazy Town would've done 13 years ago.

    I don't care for it either but I've always thought their singles were some of the worst material off their albums. I'll still check it out because their first 4 albums (starting with fungus) are all 10/10 for me but I don't have high hopes.

    love incubus, top five band for me. personally find their entire catalog a little more complete than pearl jam's to be honest (really liked 'if not now, when'). complete in the sense that most of their albums are highly listenable start to finish, i don't find myself skipping around their albums like i do with a few of pearl jam's albums.

    i like the new single, don't love it, but like it. love the music but i can't get into the vocals just yet. boyd can still sing his balls off but he has been hanging around with brandon o'brien a bit too much (collaborated on boyd's solo albums) and needs to dial back the cheese.

    they are going on a pretty massive worldwide tour and touring the states in the fall i think. would love to seem them again if they swing by chicago.

    the vault thing was a bit of a disappointment. I remember being ridiculously excited, and it was so difficult to navigate, and when you did find something, it was something I already had.

    listening to HQ Live right now though.

    listening to Brandon's solo record right now. Was litening to Morning View yesterday. Didn't like their "funk" style in the beginning much, their middle records really spoke to me. His voice is something that can always get me up. Love singing along to them.

    He has 2 "solo" albums. The Wild Trapeze is excellent and I really enjoy the change of pace. I agree, he voice really is enjoyable to listen to. The second solo album was Sons of the Sea with Brendan O'Brien. This is more pop oriented but still fun. I saw him do a solo show after this album where he basically played most of both albums, great show.
