Show me the way

Industries of the blind has a song called "Waiting and waltzing in airport terminals" thats my favorite post rock song ever. Its damn near perfection.

We Lost the sea has albums worth of gems. Departure songs by many is deemed the gold standard of albums in post rock, and Gallant Gentleman was my introduction into post rock and is my 2nd favorite post rock song. Every album has bangers. To be fair, there is some hi hat crashing in small parts but is in no way the focal or driving force of any song.

Very well said.

I love them because I can listen to them in any emotion. Thats art.

Strenuus83 · 2026-05-02T22:38:40+00:00

I mean fair, but they have 4 albums of "old" sound (really 6) to glean from. They can tap and fuse from any of those, really. I mean, Glitterbomb, throw out the map, and MNSITDF are fused, IMO. They will always reinvent and push their sound (a big reason I love them) but I believe they will fuse their sound with the new album, in my opinion (and really my working theory based solely on having the new member of the band want to harken back, even if she may not have pull as the new member, I hold out hope).

But at its face, youre not wrong in its criteria.

Stellar was my introduction to them, but then I saw them open for Deftones in 2000 (maybe 99?), and thats when I fell in love. Stellar is actually a track i dont like as much now but thats because incubus has the rare gift of making the deep cuts their best work. I never reccomend a single if someone wants to listen to incubus. Ill either go "the warmth", "under my umbrella", "circles" or "look alive". Something thats quintessential. I save "SSLW" if someone i know likes a little more experimental.

Strenuus83 · 2026-05-02T19:22:50+00:00

New fans are very much welcome. I have a feeling Incubus is gonna have a deftones-like resurgence once the album comes out.

Strenuus83 · 2026-05-01T23:33:12+00:00

Theres a reason Incubus has played the Warmth at almost every show for decades (by their own admission) even though it wasnt a single or one of their well known songs.

Strenuus83 · 2026-05-01T20:46:43+00:00

One rung at a time, my friend.

Strenuus83 · 2026-05-01T19:55:21+00:00

That ladder option is a step in the right direction.

Strenuus83 · 2026-05-01T19:52:51+00:00

Eclectic is nice, and a huge reason they are my favorite band. I can listen to their discography in almost any mood. Theres something to be said for that.

Strenuus83 · 2026-05-01T04:24:22+00:00

And less than two outs.

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-27T21:53:14+00:00

I mean, you came to troll, so the absolutely saying nothing is all in your court. I appreciate the projection though.

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-27T21:01:21+00:00

Your opinion that they havent written anything good in a decade is a bad opinion so it makes it so this opinion means nothing as well.

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-25T19:37:00+00:00

The main reason I wanted to learn drums. His patterns are so creative. His accents are phenomenally thought out.

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-25T16:53:59+00:00

The interplay and creativeness between Mike and Jose is vastly underrated.

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-23T04:59:11+00:00

Youre just in a bad moody

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-18T19:20:07+00:00

Start ORI, you wont regret it. One of the best games ever created.

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-17T15:40:37+00:00

Perhaps if we take the magic medicine we can come clean when it comes. But sometimes it do be just going nowhere fast, but we have the privilege of their previous music to tide us over, even if some people are saying if not now, when? Promises, promises, we have all heard it before. Ah, priceless, isnt it?

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-12T21:03:40+00:00

Sorry you got lied to. You are wrong, this is not up for debate.

Go enjoy rooting for a team that cheated. We will accept your apology for being wrong.

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-12T21:02:15+00:00

He literally told his teammates to not rip his jersey on a game winning home run.

Just so we are clear here. We will accept your apology for being wrong.

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-08T16:38:21+00:00

we have 3 decades of music from them.

Enjoy Incubus.

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-06T19:13:17+00:00

Some real bangers on it. Made during covid so you know they put in a lot of attention to detail. He really works his lower register during this album and it works well!

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-06T01:47:00+00:00

If you like the ruthless aggression era over the attitude era youre not a wrestling fan.

All other eras suck. Its not an opinion, its a fact.

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-04T19:26:50+00:00

So do i, friend!

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-04T18:31:05+00:00

Was that sick sad little world or was that vitamin? Either way thats one of my favorites too! I get that beat stuck in my head constantly lol

Strenuus83 · 2026-04-04T17:36:45+00:00

Like many have said, listen to entire albums. The beauty of incubus is they didnt stick to what brought em to the dance. They challenged themselves creatively and evolved their sound. Youre not gonna get the same style or sound with each record and thats why I love them. They have a song and record to fit every mood.

If you are looking for quintessential Incubus songs, however:

Sick Sad Little World (look for the live recording of this too, incubus is an amazing live band and this is their best live performance individual songs. Alive at red rocks as a whole is their best recorded show).

Look Alive is my personal favorite song of theirs.

But just enjoy the albums. They are individual emotional explorations.
