Love it! I've been waiting to hear something like this from them for a while. I think Alternative and Active will both receive this well, and maybe AAA too.

I love it as well. This is the best song I've heard from them in years. Pretty much exactly what I was hoping for from Incubus.

been at radio for over 4 hours...just 31x today at ALT and a paltry 7x so far at active. Hardly being embraced like its a major release. This will be an interesting case study about the fatigue of 90s and oughts artists in a new generation.

do factor in that clear channel/iheartmedia alternative stations are mandated to play every 3 hours today.

This is solid, probably my favorite from them since 'Anna-Molly.'

Okay, I'll give this a shot.
Redefine: B A Certain Shade of Green: B+ Pardon Me: A- Stellar: B+ Drive: A Wish You Were Here: B- Nice To Know You: B Warning: A- Are You In?: A- Circles: B+ Megalomaniac: B Talk Shows On Mute: A Agoraphobia: A- Sick Sad Little World: A- (maybe this doesn't count as a single but oh well) Make a Move: C Anna Molly: B+ Dig: B Oil and Water: C+ Love Hurts: B- Black Heart Inertia: C+ Adolescents: C- Promises, Promises: D Absolution Calling: A
Admittedly the grade for this song could end up going down a bit with the passage of time, just as it has for some of the others. A number of the A-/B+ songs would have been A's at one point. My musical tastes have evolved a bit since my late high school/early college days of being obsessed with Incubus, but I do still have a soft spot for them and enjoy listening to the majority of their songs. And even so, right now this song feels very much in line with my general musical tastes.

Only gonna rate the ones I charted.
Pardon Me: C First one I ever heard from them on 91x. I was really into Adult Alt bands(Third Eye Blind, Matchbox Twenty, Nine Days, Counting Crows) and Spanish Rock(Ley, Mana, Fobia, LODVG), but this one raised an eyebrow.
Stellar: B+ I liked this one alot more. Especially how it built up to the chorus. Good Alt Rock.
Drive: A- ..and this one even more.
Wish You Were Here: A ...and THIS one even MORE!
Nice to Know You: C charted this one for a few weeks. Not one of my favs
Talk Shows on Mute: A++ (favourite song from them. Absolute genious.
Make a Move: C+ Good Rock vibe, but not entirely melodic.
Anna-Molly: A- I like this one.
Dig: A Good mellow Alt Rock. Reminds a bit of RHCPs.
Love Hurts: A- This one was a big hit.
Black Heart Inertia: C+ Not a big fan.
Absolution Calling: ? Too early to tell, but i really like what I hear.

This should go Top 10. I think this is a stronger lead single than "Adolescents."

I used to love them, but this is boring. Not bad but not something that's going to have any replay value for me.

Great song. Very good. I hope this does well - this is a lot better than "Adolescents". Like American Idiot said, this sounds like something I'd expect from them. I've been very pleased with the return of several established artists and Alternative's reception to them. It looks like the younger generation still has respect for the older artists.

been Listening more and more to this song. It isn't 100% catchy nor anything like that, but I really enjoy the way the effects of the guitar works. It has that garage rock feel and seems they turn up the amp to almost distotrtion levels during the verses. Whatever it's called, it's making me come back to the song more and more.

I could understand if this were Active-leaning, but this is pretty Alt-friendly.

It takes less spins to make top 20 on Active than Alternative these days, y'know. If the spin counts were higher for active than alternative then I'd be alarmed, but there's like a 200-spin gap between both formats right now.

I'm more worried about The Offspring's latest single as its bullet is now below 100 on Alternative
