Incubus---Fungus Amongus

From what I've been reading, I'm probably the only person here who likes their new stuff ( ). I love the new album (though I don't care much for "Meglomaniac", the radio song), and I especially like Stellar.

I love their older stuff just as much as the the new. It's all good music to me, just different styles.

My $.02 anyways

 

Used to love em, now I can't stand em.

The beauty of his voice has become trivialized by overkill on the radio. And constant ramming into my ear out of the mouths of college girls on estrogen overdrive after hearing him sing.

I'm a fan of Fungus, and Science....just not anything afterwards. And Science isn't even great or anything.

Pscyho Psylocibin, man.

 

There's just plain too many bands to name that follow that trend.......such a shame. I also didn't mind their first effort - but since then i've put them in the same group as other radio-friendly bands like staind and nickelback. :scowl:

A local band i LOVED (past-tense), Grinspoon (heard of 'em?) had a killer first album - Guide to better living - but since then it's hit and miss.
I guess the old label exec's must drive musicians a bit in other directions?

 

i love all their stuff, i can't wait to hear the new cd when it comes out. then we can hear what ben kennedy can do on bass (he didn't write any of the stuff on ACLOTM)

the 4 movements of "The Odyseey" they did for the Halo 2 soundtrack is the pinnacle of Incubus. I never bought one of their albums but i really liked all their poppy singles that cxame out (other than megalomaniac) Talk shows on mute, wish you were here, stellar, pardon me, nice ot know you, drive....

They were Kings in their genre no doubt!

 

If you haven't heard them, "Enjoy Incubus" and S.C.I.E.N.C.E. are great albums as well. Between those and "Make Yourself" they sound like a totally different band.

 

science is great, aclotm is too

 

enjoy incubas is basicly fungus amongus just recorded in a better studio. i like fungus better

Fungus is their best, Science is pretty good too. But it is quite unreal that they would just do a complete 360 like that.

Funny story, at a used CD store, they put "popular" cds on display so that teeny boppers don't have to dig through the used CDs. So I take an Incubus CD (no... the first Incubus... Incubus was a death metal band from the 80/90s) and I stuck it in the pop section.

Came to find out, my brother's friend bought the CD hoping to hear some pop crap and was greeted with the death metal fury of INCUBUS!!

 

That band are called Inucubbus Succubus I think?Btw all Incubus rules!!Science is fantastic.

 

Science was the first Incubus I heard. Still my favorite album of theirs, allthough I dont mind the two albums after that one, I prefer the earlier stuff as well. I have some cool acoustic stuff of theirs too thats pretty cool.

 

Wow! someone likes Fungus Amongus!
I love this album; one of my all-time favourites. This was their best work, by far. Great bass playing and cool guitar. They did this style of music so damn well, wonder why they changed?
"Pscyho Psylocibin, man"- amen brother, amen.

 

No, I'm not talking about those guys... I'm talking about These guys. Not too much info on them, so you have to use your imagination.

 

can you say S.C.I.E.N.C.E! gets the nod as my fav

 

I find that album a weak version of their later stuff

 

I like all their stuff. Its good. Ben Kenney was a great addition to the band. And how was none of the bass playing on ACLOTM his? He was part of the band and they all wrote the songs together for the album.

 

That's your opinion anyways. I love all their stuff. Their newer stuff isn't better or worse to me, it's just different.
