Lol he sounds like Britney Spears.

jtsuited · 13-07-2009 02:02PM

haven't listened to that band in years (actually since Science) but the singer always had something bogey going on with his pitch (may have been earlier versions of autotune in the late 90's).

Remember the vocal line on that 'Drive' track? Horrible.

ok I know this is an old post but I

incubus I dont want to know that they are autotuned

Everything is smoke 'n' mirrors !

Leelaa22 · 26-10-2010 06:30PM

Thats put a damper on my day

DamagedTrax · 26-10-2010 06:32PM

i find them to be 100% generic american rock. there's nothing about them that grabs me as a listener. i lump them in with blink182 and eveneassanceenceaasse (or whatever they're called) in the blandness stakes.

dont matter, music is subjective. their album sales prove me wrong

Leelaa22 · 26-10-2010 06:52PM

(dam i better not mention Ive evanescence in my car at moment :eek:)
I kinda agree about blink though but they were never a serious band they were just some fun like bowling for soup, its just a laugh.
but I cant agree with you about Incubus, we'll just have to become mortal enimies :P and fight like in Scott Pilgram vs the World.
P.S wouldnt it be cool if fights really happened like that

Are you mad? Listen to their album 'science' and come back to me.. its in my top five for sure... amazingly talented individual musicians, but the last two albums have been weak since their first bass player left.. The guy had the best bass tone ever.. check out his rig!

But, But, But, the tone!!?? I brought musicianship in because you mentioned blink...

tone is tone but to like a band they need more than that, no? i dont find they bring anything to the table that i sit at... i'm just not into them.

same as with blink, travis is an amazing drummer and i love listening to him drumming but i've not heard 1 blink song that i like.

Leelaa22 · 26-10-2010 11:41PM

have you heard megalomaniac?

DamagedTrax · 26-10-2010 11:44PM

wow.. im being cornered by incubus fans

Leelaa22 · 26-10-2010 11:50PM

a- thats not a bad thing, we are an awesome bunch and
b- dont avoid the question, have you listened to the song megalomaniac

yes, just now on youtube. i still dont get it

Leelaa22 · 27-10-2010 01:47PM

I dont believe you I think you just dont want to admit you like t and that you are wrong about them.

PMI · 27-10-2010 11:43PM

Listen to Drive and wish you were here and then move on, it will ease you in slowly (thats what she said)

haha that made me laugh out loud in a very quiet class, I like it :P
but yeah drive and wish you were here are so mellow, and the video for Drive is really well done.

Thats the idea

then move onto "are you in" and then move onto the true incubus non top 10 tracks, as by that point your ready to take it, think she said that too?

Leelaa22 · 29-10-2010 03:55PM

haha I dont know if "are you in" was meant to be an inuendo but I took it as one

dirty jokes are the best. I do love that song that was the 1st incubus song I ever heard at the tender age of 13, I fell in love instantly

What was the first song of theirs you heard?

Leelaa22 · 29-10-2010 04:43PM

You havent listened to them all if you think they all sound the same. Each album is different from the last.(Thats one of the reasons they are great

) Don't forget your talking to the future Mrs. Incubus here I won't take jibes about them lying down!! :mad:

PMI · 29-10-2010 05:38PM

science was 1st album i heard....

Leelaa22 · 29-10-2010 05:42PM

Im ashamed to say I dont have that album

Mongo · 29-10-2010 06:31PM

Personally I'm a big Incubus fan. I didn't even hear the link posted as it's been removed. Anyways Brandon is an incredible singer and his live performances will attest to that.
