Thank you!

Opinions?

Don't know yet, giving my first listen later tonight along with Mercenaries. Eureka took priority Thursday night and I'd been traveling since.

Listened to the first half twice, I still haven't got through all of it. It sounds a little cringey and definitely not among their best.

I read an interview with their guitarist where he said, (& I'm paraphrasing a bit here) - There is a group of our fans that keep expecting us to put out this huge, progressive rock magnum opus record. But that isn't what incubus is about. - I was definitely one of those fans for a long time. I thought Sick Sad Little World was a step in the right direction but that's about as close as they got. After Light Grenades I let that dream go. I like a lot of their songs but there are definitely a lot of, as you said, cringeworthy moments in there.

Glitterbomb sounds like Rage Against the Machine sodomizing something from Monuments & Melodies or If Not Now, When?

This blows more than I would like it to.

Light Grenades wasn't so bad if you removed the ballads, some of the other tracks were really raw sounding rock songs with a few jams and a couple of really eccentric solos.

Because I have been listening to them for almost 15 years I might get used to this new album and listen to it for a few times, but I'd rather they do some really good ballads/quiet songs than generic radio rock.

I love all three of those songs. Paper Shoes is always a part of my playlists. I love the rolling drums. Rogues always reminds me of Fall Out Boy. I didn't dislike that album I just realized, at that time, that they weren't ever going to get as weird as I had hoped.

Damn. Incubus is the perfect band to be the ones to make a pop-friendly progressive magnum opus rock record, like WTF

Pretty cool. I think Umphrey's McGee offers this too.

It would have been great if that was around when TMV was a it's peak

I wouldn't figure Incubus could still pull such a big audience.  2018 sure was strange.

Hard watching his voice go to shit. Seen them a few times and they were always flawless. Seemed like it happened overnight.

Don’t get too excited.....that’s a festival and they played during the day. That said, they normally do large theatres and small amphitheater’s for their solo shows still
