A Crow Left of the Murder
So, Incubus' new album has been out since Tuesday, I just picked it up today, and I'm listening to it right now. I'm a big Incubus fan, even though I've been told I'm not a true fan for some reason just because I liked Morning View, but godammit it was a good cd. I also like the old stuff from S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and Fungus Amongus, and probably my favorite, Make Yourself. So I consider myself well-rounded.
Anyway, the new cd. At first I have to admit I didn't really like "Megalomaniac," but now I'm a big fan after hearing it a couple times. The video's a little weird, but it grows on you. But that's inconsequential to the music. I really like the sound of this album, but I have a question for all you Incubus fans who have heard it: Do you consider this cd a new sound for Incubus or do you think they're returning to Fungus Amongus/S.C.I.E.N.C.E.-type stuff? Obviously it wouldn't be exactly the same, but it sounds more raw like the old stuff, more so than Morning View.
IMHO it's a new sound, and I like it.
