My opinion of 8 has gone up since I made that post a year ago. Not the greatest record, but not as bad as I remember it being. Found myself actually legit enjoying a few of the songs on there.

LG is still a-okay in my book. A Kiss To Send Us Off, Anna Molly, Love Hurts, Pendulous Threads (one of my fav Incubus songs) and the Earth to Bella songs. I really like those songs, even though the other songs are kind of just there.
Hire me. I'm talentless but malleable.

I find Quicksand to be hauntingly beautiful.

I really love Dig.

Anna molly and Rogues are cool songs.

I'll buy tickets for the Gilford show.  Great combo.  I'll look into the 3rd band, Badflower.

I saw them a year or so ago Badflower - Heroin Live @ KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas LA 2018

They are a newer rock band.  I'm not crazy about them personally, but it's not a bad opener.  My show is a weekday show, it'll be tough to make it in time for them so we'll see.

I'll check that out after work.  Thanks Marc!  Mine is a Sunday so we are actually planning our vacation that Monday so it would be a perfect start to it.

New England hit the jackpot! Fri, Sat, Sun shows, and on 8/16! Might have to hit them all.
I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.
WELP.

Trust Fall Side B was released today, it's pretty much par for the course for modern Incubus.

No. I like it a ton. The production is different,  the song is catchy AF.

It's not shit, it's just different.

I always wonder, with Incubus especially, is my attachment to their early music is partly due to how I associate that music with great times in my life.

Honestly never thought I'd see the day. I thought they abandoned it after Side A. Cool to see them follow through.

I'll have to check it out. If it's like Side A or 8, I'm sure I'll find something to like off of it.

Listened through it once. It was fine. Nothing that will make me come back for more though.

I think it's finally time to resign to the fact that the last good Incubus album was A Crow Left of the Murder and I shouldn't expect anything remotely close in quality in the future.  :sadpanda:

I think Crow was the last good album I really liked from start to finish. Light Grenades and If Not Now When had some pretty good tracks the but the overall albums were inconsistent.

I came to that conclusion the first time I heard If not now, when  :P

Light Grenades is a mixed bag with most of it being underwhelming, but there was still the hint that they could turn it back around. I don't even know what they are anymore.

So this concert from 1998 in Spain popped up on youtube... wow this is what I LOVE about the band.  These old school songs that are heavy and funky and interesting... plus the crowd constantly going on stage  :lol :metal

Just listened to Trust Fall Side B for the first time. Really not as bad as some of the comments on here led me to expect!

As much as I adore the original Incubus sound (as should be apparent enough by my choice of avatar!), I accept that they evolved over time into a different band. Not to say that either era is better or worse, because it's pretty much an apples and oranges situation.

But yeah, this is a really nice EP.  :tup

Big bump with the new tour announcement.

It turns out the Ben Kenny is stepping away from Incubus, if I were to guess it was due to the brain tumor removed: (https://loudwire.com/incubus-ben-kenney-brain-tumor-removed/).

Sad, I loved Ben Kenny in Incubus, he was an incredible musician and was a great matchup. Hope for a speedy recovery.

Yeah that sucks, but they needed to address the elephant in the room about him.  Sounds like his decision though so we can only wish for the best, sounds like he's recovered though which is the good news. 

The new bassist was fine when I saw them last summer. 

I realized I saw them at Madison Square Garden in 2004 so this summer would mark their return after 20 years.  I'm planning on being there for that, damn I'm getting old though.

They released the new re-recorded version of Echo.... not a fan.  I don't like the sound of this at all.  Adding the new bassists vocals to the chorus is OK, but just doesn't feel right.  The new outro is cool, that's how they did it live last year.
