Legendary Classic Album...Criminally Underrated
@kf83463 жыл бұрын
I bought fungus amungus and listened to it a thousand times. It actually makes me sad and disappointed that nothing else this band did was anywhere close to as good as that album. The more popular they got I just became more bitter. Not even at incubus themselves, but just the overall idea that you have to put out pop shit to have a career. Or at least, in the early 2000s that’s how it was. I think incubus just stopped trying to be original or interesting when they realized they could make way more money doing way less interesting songs. This song is a perfect example. You can see how they are toying with trying to sound more like the Backstreet Boys because showing off your abs sells records. Incubus is just one of those bands that I hate because they could have been so much better, and were so much better, than what they ultimately turned into.

They touch on prog rock, funk metal, nu metal, jazz, pop, electronic, R&B, and even Chinese traditional music on one account. They love changing their sound and pushing boundaries and are incredibly smart and well adjusted. Their guitarist, Mike Einziger, even went to Harvard! I can’t say enough good about them. I hope you’ll do some deeper cuts too - Crowded Elevator or Deep Inside would be cool. As far as relative hits, Sick Sad Little World has an epic guitar solo.

Mike Einziger is the guitarist. He was the reason i picked up a guitar after listening to the SCIENCE album when i was 12. That arrangment you heard was actual strings but when they play it live DJ Kilmore has it as a sample on a vinyl to scratch and play with and then let play through when its time at the end. The bass players name is Dirk Lance. Look him up. When he left the band in 2002 a big part of Incubus died. The funk and soul part of the sound has been missing a lot since then. Not saying they haven't had good songs but his presence on the bass for them was otherworldly.
