On active it definitely has. Not sure about alternative, but it appears to be.

Good thing that was just a bump in the road.

Despite my instinct to not buy it based on the only song I've heard from it so far, I made the purchase. After one listen all I can say is, what happened to the old Incubus? They wen't back to their popular album art logo for the first time in a long time I noticed. But the music is made straight for elevators. But I'm guessing it should sell well.

Incubus has evolved, just like most bands. The band members admitted themselves in individual interviews that they were trying to seek warmer, softer material and that this would be a love letter to the world type of record. They've clearly stayed true to their word, and as long as the heart is there in the composition, I see no reason to complain about their music. I for one really enjoy "If Not Now, When?" because Boyd's vocals stand out more this time around and makes for a more intimate listening experience. Then again, I like many of the band's previous albums for different reasons. Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS

Not sure if it's devolving or moving forward. It felt like on first listen a lounge act trying to make a bunch of crossover hits. I'm not sure if I want that to work for them or not.

This album was rather decent. Not as exciting as their previous ones though.

I really liked this album. It's mellow but it's an awesome mellow. It's like, the kind of mellow that transports you to another time and space.

Being the resident expert on mellows that transport you to another time and space, I can honestly say this CD didn't do it for me on two listens today.

On a different note, I'm so glad I can't see what Artie says anymore. Nobody quote him.
