@@chrono050 I don't know that I'm a true fan of the band, but I prefer Science too. Tied in well with 311 back in the day...along with Hed P.E.'s debut.
Not sure where Vin got the idea they crushed on this and nothing after. This wasn’t even the most successful single from this album. In any case, it’s a good pick to start off Nu Metal week. “Make Yourself”, in my opinion, enjoys the rare status of being one of the few Nu Metal albums that still hold up.
Vin, you missed out,and misjudged a great band. They're probably better then half the junk you listen to. Phenomenal live band, great artists, and great people to top it off. Brandons singing and the crispness of there live play is hard to even parallel. The have a lot of heavier stuff and there own sound.
Brandon Boyd is an incredible singer live and they had plenty of great songs-"Drive" was a massive hit for them likewise "Wish you were here", and later "Anna Molly"
Killer BeeGees I listened to that album like a million times when I was in High School.. such talented artists.... you can tell they all work really hard and have such great talent to make such great music ... 🙌🏻 I saw them live last year Wit System of a Down ... the show was amazing... 👏🏻
@@douglasmijangos3327 It's one of my favorite album too. The warmth, when it comes, I miss u those songs can't be remade by any other artists of any generation. "Pardon me" is kinda overrated by the so called Rock n Metal fans... 😄
Alternative rock and grunge have a special place on the westcoast. Just like g-funk and gangsta rap. I'm on the westcoast as well and they all happen to be my favorite genres of music.
Man you skipped Incubus for a dollar, thats wild!! I believe Incubus had like 3 platinum and 2 gold albums. They were crazy popular in the late 90s and early 00s
Ya know, I never considered Incubus NuMetal, even though I saw them and Hed(pe) open for Korn at the tail end of the Family Values tour in ‘98 or ‘99. I always grouped them with two other bands I really liked, and also did not consider “NuMetal,” Deftones and Glassjaw. I guess, in the case of Incubus, it’s because I never heard them as “Metal,” even at their heaviest. It’s like that difficult challenge of trying to determine whether a band is more Post-Rock or Post-Metal-very fine line. I have a feeling, from his story, that Vin probably never listened to any earlier Incubus. When I saw them w/ Korn they were supporting the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. album, and I recommend listening to something off that album or their even earlier one, Fungus Amongus. Even though, “Crowded Elevator,” is the song of their’s I listened to repetitively on a CD mix.
Mx. Damí Dimock to quote Finn of the Punk Rock MBA, Incubus I never considered a nu-metal band but more of a “nu-adjacent” band, because they got popular around the time the genre peaked, same with Deftones, same with Linkin Park and to an extent, same with System of a Down.
"They crushed it on this song after that just whatever" or maybe you just know one song by this amazing fucking band. This song isn't even one of their top 20 for most Incubus fans.
The Warmth, Pardon Me, Stellar, Anti-Gravity, Drive, A certain shade of green, Nowhere Fast, Battlestar Scralatchtica, Echo....That is what got me hooked into them
my fav Incubus song has to be Dig, but their catalogue is full off good songs like: megalomaniac, nice to know you, warning, oil and water, drive, are you in, stellar, anna molly, i miss you, wish you were here and quite a few more but those are the ones i remember.
chad mullis I believe the warmth probably saved me when I was a teenager... it help me change my point of view in life .. I went from an teen wit so much angst to a person who actually started caring about life and people around me
See Incubus for a Dollar? Man, you missed out. They are epic live, change up songs, add 10 minute jam battles in the middle, and have so much energy. Give "Alive at Red Rocks" a watch.
I remember recording song from the radio on to tape . Lol I was born in ‘84 I’m KNOW Everyone from that generation did the same ... This song was one of them .
I think I'm about the same age as you guys ... it blows my mind that Sori has never heard of Incubus and Vin only listens to one song! Hopefully you'll check out more in the future. When I graduated from high school (2004), I used an Incubus lyric as my senior quote in the yearbook - "Don't ever let life pass you by" from the song Warning ...
I don't know, guys...I don't think this song is about being angry. For me this song is about becoming someone better, someone who is above all the hypocrisy and "people's mindless games". Whe he says "rise above the flame", I think this is a metaphor to expalian how he "died" to this hypocritic world and become someone better. I believe that the line "I'll never be the same" just reaffirms how he became someone better than he was before. Just my opinion. Sorry for my english.
Sleeping on this band you two. Very experimental band. Hugely influential on Slipknot. Very unconventional band. Famous for complex songs with unconditional time signatures. Leaders in Merging hip hop in metal. This was one of the very first bands to do that - period. The importance of this band is way overlooked. By the time Slipknot put out their first album, Incubus was on their third. And their first two albums “Fungus Among Us” and “Science” were way ahead of their time fire. They didn’t have a scratch DJ in the band because other bands had one. Other bands were incorporating scratch because of Incubus did it first, and years before any other bands did it - including Slipknot. Just want to start settling the record straight on this very important and way under-appreciated band.
They're actually one of the most co.plete bands of all time and you need to get your shit together and give a good listen to everything they put out. You're missing out Anda not giving them nearly enough credit
Have you guys just listened to one Incubus song?? you're missing a lot, give it a try to: Aqueous Transmission, Deep Inside, Nice to know you, Wish You Were Here, New Skin, Nebula, just to name a few
Incubus is my all time favorite band. This is a good starting point, but you couldn’t be more wrong to think that this is their only song. They have SO MUCH great music. The album Science is far more “nu metal”. Make Yourself took them mainstream. Their next two albums, Morning View and Crow, are their best imo. A Crow Left of the Murder is super experimental and cool. Not an album or band like them.
RAMONES3122 agreed. Incubus will forever be one of my favorite bands and Crow left of the Murder is one of my favorite albums for sure. Mexico and Just a Phase were some of the first songs I learned on acoustic guitar.
There is a late 80's-early 90's Tampa Death Metal band, Incubus. Really only known for the lead singer doing backing vocals on Skull Full of Maggots, I think.
Vin, you have a very warped view of this band, you really should listen to these - Here In My Room, Megalomaniac, Mexico, Aqueous Transmission, The Warmth, In The Company Of Wolves, A Kiss To Send Us Off. I can to on. Such a great fucking band. And also go check out Brandon Boyd's art. Such a gifted dude. You'd probably have a very different view of these guys once you delve into them a bit more - one Nu-metal kid to another.
