And – big surprise – it’s just as rigid and cumbersome as it sounds. And with such a fluctuation in sound inevitably comes a similar response in terms of fans, particularly with that last album that just felt like it alienated everyone.īy comparison, 8 feels like Incubus’ attempt at damage control, mashing together the various styles from across their career in order to placate anyone who’s even had a passing interest. But continuing down that route eventually led to 2011’s If Not Now, When?, an album of dull, colourless, easy-listening pap that remains utterly forgettable to this day. They started with nu-metal and funk-metal on their 1997 breakthrough S.C.I.E.N.C.E before taking the shift into more alternative, melodic sounds, perhaps most resolutely on 2001’s Morning View. If Incubus should have learned anything by now, it’s that you can’t please everyone, and considering the hard shifts in styles they’ve taken over the last twenty years, it’s bound to have sunk in.
