To Not Enough: Greatest hits packages don't only have to contain singles. Plus the third single off A CROW LEFT OF THE MURDER was "Sick Sad Little World" not "Agoraphobia." I believe I made mention of that fact when I talked about album cuts, I'm not sure you read that part of my post. And no, "Sick Sad Little World" was not the third single, "Agoraphobia" was a radio promo, although I don't think it was ever really pushed. Although according to FMQB, there was no third single that ever went for official adds. Now, some radio stations may have played something to make up for no third single, but that's neither here nor there. I really don't remember ever hearing "Sick Sad Little World" on the radio though. Oooops...yeah I did miss that bit of your post. As for the "Agoraphobia" thing, this thread here: pulsemusic.proboards48.com/index.cgi?board=alternative&action=display&thread=2092 proves that you are right, however...it also mentions that "Agoraphobia" was getting about not even getting triple digits in plays, while "Sick Sad Little World" made the top 50 at active rock, explaining my confusion, and making it sorta ambiguous as to which is the better choice to consider the third single in the context of making a greatest hits package. It was the third song to chart while not being the third official release.

This is really weird. Maybe they do, in fact, have a greatest hits album lined up. It would make sense because they're going on an indefinite hiatus.
To be honest, this album (including this song) just hasn't stood the test of time for me. I would've rather they done something really out-of-the-box and released "Summer Romance" or something.

I realize this is the only Incubus I've never listened to in its entirety. Perhaps the rise of "Love Hurts" will renew my interest in it enough to check it out.

But it's strange to like Drive and not Dig Tell that to any CHR listener. A large percentage will know Drive but of those hardly any will have even heard of Dig. But yeah, I too think Dig is better. I may be alone in this, but I think Light Grenades was one of their best albums. Dig and Oil And Water are among my all time favorites from them.

I may be alone in this, but I think Light Grenades was one of their best albums. On the other hand, after S.C.I.E.N.C.E., Make Yourself, and Morning View, I was too underwhelmed with Crow... to risk full price on Light Grenades. And after familiarizing myself with my burned copy last year, I decided I don't even want to bother buying the real thing.

And after familiarizing myself with my burned copy last year, I decided I don't even want to bother buying the real thing. I was equally disappointed about A Crow..., and even though I liked Light Grenades more than you (and probably significantly so), I'd still place it as their fourth best album.

Yeah, I'm just not into their last two albums as much. Since Dirk left, it seems like they've gone for a more straight-ahead rock sound which I just don't think works for them. There are a handful of tracks on each of those two albums that I enjoy, but overall they don't do it for me like the previous three.

I think more bands should do what Incubus is doing with this single. After all the buzz about an album has died down, after a year you release a single that radio starts playing because people think it's from a new album and get more excited than they would have been had this been released soon after Oil And Water.

I have to join the club as well. Casual fans of certain bands surely won't forget them in between album releases then when they're supposed to have nothing new to radio out. I think it's a great idea.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing a few days ago. The best example I can remember that worked is Fastball's release of "Out of My Head" (on the pop formats anyway) almost a year after "Fire Escape". And I hear Incubus is going on hiatus anyway, so why not? They apparently aren't releasing another album anytime soon.

Really sad, first Foo Fighters and now Incubus, two great bands going on hiatus in a close time frame he FFs one is worse though because Grohl said it's lasting at least 10 years

All they've been doing in the grand scheme of things for years now is diluting their greatness and making me feel less and less excited and more and more obligated. And that was kind of unlikely to change at the rate both were going.
