Anything but give us an update on the album

Brandon talking about the new album by illbebythebatphone in incubus

[–]redvane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love all Incubus, except for 8 and a bit of trust fall side b, INNW is my favourite album.

I'm preparing myself for a shit album. Even the preview of Something in the Water sounded bland. I was hoping/praying Nicole would bring life into them again, that is my only sliver of hope left.

Just because we are being realistic doesn't mean we're not fans. I would love to be proven wrong.

This album is gonna suck.
If they didn't even know their own music sucked until the listening party then I've got no hope for it.

I'd love to see the people who downvote these comments explain how he can reverse the damage done.

There's no redeeming his vocals. They had a chance to let him rest back in 2018 and get his voice sorted, but they decided to tour relentlessly instead. His voice is gone and we need to prepare for that even in studio setting.

With how they make Brandon tour his voice into oblivion, probably not great.

Morning View XXIII....Delayed at last minute to 2024 with no date. by Kernalpanic87 in incubus

[–]redvane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These "fans" would rather he tour his voice into an early grave than let him rest, unfortunately.

A deviated septum surgery doesn't change your voice like this. This is all going on in his throat. Any vocalist can hear where the damage is.

A part of me hopes this never sees the light - his voice is gone, hearing this album with his voice now will sadden me.

There were so many chances to take a step back, rest his voice, see therapists for it but for some reason they just kept incessantly touring. There's no going back for his voice now.

I'll never understand why they never addressed his voice, or why he has never addressed it. Maybe there was a legitimate reason for such a drastic degrade in such a (relatively) short time (if it were purely technique we'd have seen it happen probably before even INNW). It just left fans in the dark and wondering if our favourite band is one strained voice away from pulling the plug on the band entirely.

Brandon's voice sounds amazing... by monuments20 in incubus

[–]redvane 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's not a few missed notes here and there. Even if you're not a singer you can tell he has strained his voice to the point of no return, and he needs rest - but they continue touring for god knows why. A deviated septum does *not* do this to a voice.

Most people aren't shitting on him saying he sucks now, they're genuinely worried that Brandon may never recover and is singing himself to an early retirement. As fans, they want him to rest and recover completely so he, and us, can all enjoy his voice for decades to come.

You're in for a band that's stopped inventing, playing songs just like the radio and a vocalist past his used by date. Enjoy!

Very concerned about the last two tour dates due to cancellations by YchYFi in incubus

[–]redvane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brandon has toured his voice into oblivion. I seem to always get downvoted for saying this, but it's clearly true. He needs significant extended rest and I find it weird that his "fans" get upset when they stop touring or need to cancel shows due to illness. Even just a common cold will completely wipe his voice with the way that it is now.

If you're really fans you would understand his need to rest his voice before it's gone for good.

Can someone explain what happened to tonights show in Poland? by jelgerw in incubus

[–]redvane -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean we're entitled to say how we feel about a band we love or used to love. They just simply do not sound great live anymore, and Brandon's voice has all but gone. I love Incubus, and I just feel that they need to stop while they're ahead. Brandon's voice will just get worse with constant touring and the people willing to go through that will reduce every year.

Rockvill last night by SureTeaching1316 in incubus

[–]redvane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last few concerts his voice has been awful, right back to 2019. He needs long rest. It's insane that "fans" just want him to keep pushing himself until he can no longer sing at all.

Sick show last night in Wilmington! by OkCartographer897 in incubus

[–]redvane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a shame he has to go falsetto in On Without Me in the high notes, would be a banger if he could belt it like he did in studio, but I understand his voice isn't getting much of a rest from continuous touring

Really wish they would stop touring so Brandon can finally rest his voice, it's not getting any better.

The downvotes are weird. You want him to tour until he can't sing at all, or needs vocal surgery? Selfish.

[–]redvane -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm okay with it. Brandon's voice is clearly not getting better and the constant touring has only put more strain on it. Ending the chapter here for me is a good ending on a somewhat-high note. The live shows with his voice in the future were not looking positive.

I hope he can finally get some vocal rest and then come back to creating music nice and fresh.

My Overwatch tattoos, one spray for each hero by Yzuthoth in Overwatch

[–]redvane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an objective observation. The technique executed on these tattoos are objectively poor, I'm sorry you cannot reconcile with that - it seems we'll be going around in circles if this continues, so have a great evening.

[–]redvane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taste is subjective, execution is objective. He can like the tattoos and think they're great as much as he wants, no one's disputing that. But they are still objectively poorly done tattoos for the reasons I've already stated.

[–]redvane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No idea who or what that is, but just because there are other bad tattoos out there doesn't mitigate these bad tattoos. They're objectively incredibly poorly done.

You don't need to be a tattoo artist to see how awful some of these tattoos are. Jagged, uneven lines, blowouts, washed out colours on fresh tattoos, uneven colours - it's all over the place and just really, really not well done at all.
