    Explores Incubus' inner jam band. [Feb 2004, p.94]
  3. There's conceivably a great record still lurking inside this band but you're going to have to wait just a bit longer to hear it.

    The most mature song writing out of any of their albums. Catchy and listenable while still completely new and interesting. Guitarist Mike Eizeninger's best playing is featured on this record as well as a great introduction to their new bassist. Expand

    Really an uneven album from a band that we've grown a custom to making consistently great rock songs. It is nice, however, to see a departure from the sound they're comfortable with. Expand

    What in the hell were they thinking. Nothing is fresh on this album, its like listening to a(really bad) blend of morning view with Make Your Self thrown in. I gave it 3 stars for one of the best looking album covers i have ever seen. Other than that they really have to grow as musicians, The old bassist was not that good anyway. How far can you push Emo- rock, cuz thats what incubus has turned into over the last 3 cds. There work on this album represents nothing at all,(tired Guitar, lame Bass work, and just plan and simple annoying lyrics). The only one who's doing there job is the drummer.(which i thought did a good job). Incubus has to stop trying to recreate albums, cuz sooner or later there gonna turn into Linkin Park, and there much more talented to go down that road. o Expand
