Man, this is so sleepy. They should have released something uptempo.

I am surprised at how this hasn't been ascending the chart as quickly as I would have thought. Death Cab For Cutie and Seether each had a faster ascent up the chart in their first two days if I'm not mistaken (I could always check, but that would make too much sense). Considering Incubus can get the more indie-leaning stations that Seether can't and the more active-leaning stations that Death Cab can't, I'm surprised this isn't pulling more of a Rise Against out of the gate. Incubus should be capable of almost matching the Foo Fighters success at alternative radio considering how many fans Incubus has.

I think it speaks to the lack of immediacy of this single. While it's clearly Incubus, they haven't really showed us anything to warrant it being a big hit.

^ Agreed. I think they've shown signs of wear recently on radio, also. "Black Heart Inertia" wasn't exactly huge and "Let's Go Crazy" flopped, without charting. Releasing lazy singles like this isn't going to help get them back to the top, either.

It doesn't scream radio-friendly, but to me it's an epic song, so I wouldn't exactly call it lazy by any means. I don't think it'll be as big as previous lead singles of theirs, but I like it just as much.

This is WAY better than "Black Heart Inertia" imo. I've completely forgotten how that song goes. Is that the one where he sings something about someone shooting bullets at his feet "coercing me to dance." I don't even remember the chorus.

I feel like this is kind of experimental (similar to You Are A Tourist in that respect) - I like how they switch up the drumbeat between the verse and chorus

Listening to this for the first time now. Nice song, but nothing really special about it.

Just heard this for the first few times on the radio this past weekend. I think this will be the next #1- it just sounds like a hit single.

ugh @ this music video, similar to the ''lazy'' Foo Fighters' music video for "Rope''.

This is definitely a VERY different Incubus sounding album than I expected. Honestly, there's not one harder song on it at all and everything seems very mellow similar to "Adolescents." I'm not sure if I really like the route they're going in, but it does sound quite good. Brandon's vocals are much more recognizable with less background noise. I've just been so used to hearing plenty of hard rocking Incubus material over the years that it will take time to get used to. Especially since I've been listening to them since "S.C.I.E.N.C.E."

I'm wondering if this can make it to #1 and keep their streak of the lead singles going to the top since "Crow".

One of the band members himself admitted in a recent interview that some fans of their heavier roots will be disappointed in this release, and it was their intention to traverse more softer sounds. As long as I hear dedicated music from them that resonates and emotes with a thoughtful quality to it, I really don't give a care how "loud" or "soft" it is, as it is often the textures and flavors of their music that speak the greatest volumes anyway. Many fans of theirs have already regarded "Morning View" as their best album to date, and that was a decidedly "soft" album overall despite a handful of edgier moments. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus
