    What in the hell were they thinking. Nothing is fresh on this album, its like listening to a(really bad) blend of morning view with Make Your Self thrown in. I gave it 3 stars for one of the best looking album covers i have ever seen. Other than that they really have to grow as musicians, The old bassist was not that good anyway. How far can you push Emo- rock, cuz thats what incubus has What in the hell were they thinking.

Other than that they really have to grow as musicians, The old bassist was not that good anyway. How far can you push Emo- rock, cuz thats what incubus has turned into over the last 3 cds. There work on this album represents nothing at all,(tired Guitar, lame Bass work, and just plan and simple annoying lyrics). The only one who's doing there job is the drummer.(which i thought did a good job). Incubus has to stop trying to recreate albums, cuz sooner or later there gonna turn into Linkin Park, and there much more talented to go down that road. o Expand

    This one is poor, just like Morning View. S.C.I.E.N.C.E. was quite neat, but it's been on a downhill since then

    ive been listening to incubus for 8 years now and i love everything theyve done but i dont feel like this is a good album at all. ill admit i do like some of the songs on it but i can honestly say this is the only incubus album i dont know evey word of which is strange because im a huge fan. i try and support everything incubus does so i did buy the album but i dont really like the new ive been listening to incubus for 8 years now and i love everything theyve done but i dont feel like this is a good album at all. ill admit i do like some of the songs on it but i can honestly say this is the only incubus album i dont know evey word of which is strange because im a huge fan. i try and support everything incubus does so i did buy the album but i dont really like the new sound. i guess once your used to a certain sound for so long you just dont like change.

    This album was a real let down, I give it a 2 because there are two songs I would listen to more than once. It's obvious they know how to rock, but this sissy crap has to go.

  1. There’s conceivably a great record still lurking inside this band but you’re going to have to wait just a bit longer to hear it.

    Tuneless, torturously knotty prog-metal. [13 Feb 2004, p.72]

    There’s little in the way of straightforward rock here[;] instead they have opted to renege on their commitment to flat-four crunch and embrace melodicism...and experimentalism.
