From their message board.
Anyway, sounds like an odd name for a song. I'm intrigued to find out how this sounds, as well as how well it will do in the wake of "Love Hurts".
Also, thirteen songs? That's gotta mean some will be left off. Let's see if I can guess what they are.
01. "Drive" 02. "Pardon Me" 03. "Stellar" 04. "Nice To Know You" 05. "Warning" 06. "Wish You Were Here" 07. "Megalomaniac" 08. "Talk Shows On Mute" 09. "Anna-Molly" 10. "Dig" 11. "Oil And Water" 12. "Love Hurts" 13. "Are You In" or "Circles" or SCIENCE track
Seems pretty easy to figure out. If this isn't right, I'll be surprised.

I love the title of this song. Can't wait to hear it! I still want them to send Love Hurts to CHR/HAC though. :(

13. "Are You In" or "Circles" or SCIENCE track My guess would be "A Certain Shade of Green" off S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

Wow, first I heard about this...pretty cool, even if it isn't a whole album. Incubus deserves a lot more attention than they've gotten in their past couple albums- they are "Stellar."
Oh, and I LOVE S.C.I.E.N.C.E., and I actually have some key tracks on my "on the go" playlist. Redefine, Certain Shade of Green, Anti Gravity Love Song, Glass, etc.
I'd say my favorite album of theirs overall has to be Make Yourself....followed by Morning View, though obviously I love Science too- almost seems like it's in its own category though.

"Make a Move" is another possibility for the 13th track. I have a feeling it will be "Are You In?" though. Would be nice if something from S.C.I.E.N.C.E. made it, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Interesting title here.

My guess is it'll be "Are You In?", primarily because while it had limited resonance domestically, globally it's among their most-known singles.
I just can't see "Circles" being it because it lacked both in commercial success and/or staying power everywhere it was promoted. However, I can certainly see "A Certain Shade of Green" having potential to make the final cut, more because of being a fan favorite and having something to represent their pre-breakthrough years.
I also can't see "Make A Move" making it. It got a considerable amount of unenthusiastic reception among their most fervent fans since it was first released, and it had a short-lived run. If anything, if I was determining the track listing, I would likely omit "Oil and Water" and include "Aqueous Transmission" as the closing track on this compilation. That track is easily the one that has garnered the most cult acclaim and appreciation among their fanbase, and I think deserves a spot on this collection for that alone.
Sincerely, Noah Eaton

I wouldn't guarantee a spot for "Nice to Know You," necessarily. And not over "Are You In?". I could see "New Skin" making the tracklist if they include one S.C.I.E.N.C.E. track.

It's indeed possible "Nice To Know You" could miss the final cut, especially considering that, if both that track and "Are You In?" make it, and assuming both "Wish You Were Here" and "Warning" both make it (they will), that will make a total of four tracks from the "Morning View" era alone.........more than even their most successful era "Make Yourself". I do think "Aqueous Transmission" would make a more representative track from that era than either "Circles" or even "Nice To Know You"...........even if it was never even a single.

In the United States it fared much better, but internationally "Are You In?" proved to be the far more popular single, and the latter is even their biggest hit in the United Kingdom.

13 seems odd, but it leads me to believe that there will be 3 songs from each album post-S.C.I.E.N.C.E., with the addition of "Make A Move" perhaps. Although, I doubt "Agoraphobia" will be on it. So I'm hoping they put all four singles from Light Grenades on the album, since "Oil and Water" is probably my all-time favorite Incubus track. My guess:
1. Pardon Me 2. Stellar 3. Drive 4. Wish You Were Here 5. Nice to Know You (I don't see how this doesn't make the record, to be honest) 6. Warning 7. Megalomaniac 8. Talk Shows on Mute 9. Make A Move (I, for one, really like this song, a shame it didn't do so well) 10. Anna-Molly 11. Dig 12. Oil and Water 13. Love Hurts

Sincerely, Noah Eaton Yeah, at #15, because no single from Incubus has done all that well in the United Kingdom. I fail to see why Incubus should honestly really care about that. And according to Wikipedia, the only other places that single did well was in Austria and New Zealand.

If you guys actually read the message in the second post, it says that "Make a Move" will be included on Disc Two (Rarities), so track number 13 will probably be either "A Certain Shade of Green" or "Are You In?"

^Ha, I missed that somehow. Well, then I'm glad it's included regardless, it almost sounds like they re-recorded it or something. I don't know, I'm probably reading too much into it. Not sure whether "Are You In?" or "Circles" will be the last track included. I mean, "Are You In?" is definitely the bigger hit worldwide, but "Circles" would be the only song to chart in the U.S. and not make the compilation, so I'm kinda leaning that way now. Updated list: 1. Pardon Me 2. Stellar 3. Drive 4. Wish You Were Here 5. Nice to Know You 6. Warning 7. Circles 8. Megalomaniac 9. Talk Shows on Mute 10. Anna-Molly 11. Dig 12. Oil and Water 13. Love Hurts I wonder if "Dick In A Box" is the cover song in question

I'm not sure Nice To Know You should make the first disc either. Are You In? should. Don't forget Agoraphobia. It got some decent airplay, although I don't think it charted high if at all.

2009 can't get much better in terms of music!
Two new "Incubus" songs and a disc full of rarities. So good! :)
Love the title of this track. Sounds promising.
I think it has a good possiblity of going #1 on Alternative/Modern Rock.

It's an amazing song and it has a decent hit on the rock charts. (Reached #9 on BB Modern Rock and on BB Mainstream Rock) I don't see any reason to not include it... The only doubt I have is between "Are You In" or "Circles"... I bet in the first one.

For the record, "Agoraphobia" barely got any airplay. I don't even think it made the top 200 on Mediabase, and certainly not the top 100. "Sick Sad Little World" actually got more airplay - that would be a better bet if they were going to include a third Crow track (which I doubt they will).

As much as I love them....I think Megalomaniac is the only track that needs to be there, from Crow Left of the Murder. While I like all the albums, I find that one to be their least satisfying. Leave more space for some Make Yourself tracks, I say. The Warmth anyone? I know it was never a single but....it's great.
I was not even aware of Agoraphobia being a single, to be honest. I hope that one isn't on there. I know a lot of hard core Incubus fans (myself not really included) who HATED Crow. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it nearly as much as Morning View before it.

Yeah, I remember Sick Sad Little World getting airplay that year too. But neither that nor Agoraphobia were released as CD singles to my knowledge. Just radio filler.

This is just thinking out loud, but I wonder if there's a remote chance Boyd's duet with Chrissie Hynde "Neither Of Us Can See" (also featured in the movie "Stealth") will be included on Disc Two.
I happen to think that's easily the best of the "Stealth" contributions, and having a collaborative track featured on the collection would add some additional variety to their retrospective.

Just radio filler. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoraphobia_(song)Agoraphobia was released as a single, as proven here. It was a radio-only track though, with no video.

Sincerely, Noah Eaton I honestly hope they put ALL of their b-sides on Disc Two. Old and new. I hate how bands will do this and then leave the best known b-sides off because "they're available" elsewhere. Fuck that. If you're going to make a rarities comp, don't halfass it.

Um, you mean in addition to the "dusted off and recently polished up," "unreleased version" of "Neither of Us Can See" that will be included on Disc Two? As for the cover on disc two, I instantly thought of "Still Not a Player." Or does that somehow not count as "the first and only properly recorded cover song" they've ever done?

I'm not convinced that "Talk Shows On Mute" or "Oil And Water" will make it. While these songs were top 10 hits, I don't hear these songs getting much gold/recurrent airplay, and at this point, anything Incubus releases as a single does moderately well, so just because it's released as a single and does well doesn't mean it's one of their most popular songs among fans. We'll see.
"Nice To Know You" should make it. The song is still getting close to 200 plays a week between alternative and active rock stations. Only "Love Hurts," "Dig," "Drive," "Pardon Me," and "Wish You Were Here" are currently getting more.

I agree; this is my favorite Incubus track of all time, just edging out Drive. Both of these are also former theme songs, from a time in my life when I really needed a theme song.
