Jul 8, 2011To say this album is a complete miss would be unfair. In reality, it's a great band reaching for a completely different horizon, all with hints of their previous selves.
-
Jul 8, 2011As a temporary deviation from Incubus's core sound, If Not Now, When? is satisfactory.
-
Jul 6, 2011On the band's seventh studio album, Incubus fully embrace surf-bum balladry.
-
Jul 14, 2011Incubus retain some of their early, macabre nerdiness (the harmony-bedecked "Tomorrow's Food" reminds us of our dirt-bound mortality), but, for all the energy, the melodies fail to ignite.
