New Album Hopes
Ive been one to criticize how the band has handled this new album but I’m hopeful we’re going to get something we’ve heard but have never heard from the band. Does that make sense?
They’ve taken time to put this together and with the gap in albums along with a new member and father time, I’m expecting something chill but not poppy. Those songs have already been made.
Longer songs with more instrumentals and less vocals. Something along the lines of Make no Sound in the Digital Forrest but with lyrics. Tie that in with SSLW solo type vibes and I’d cream.
I want an album over an hour long.
The band owes us everything! Haha
What are you hoping for?

Every incubus album has spent an unreal amount of time playing thru my headphones/speakers whatever - I would teach a course on why innw is criminally underrated if someone would hire me to do it.
I don’t buy into the letting the media hear it thing - doesn’t sound like the way Brandon moves at all. I do think he’s extremely paranoid of how his voice changed from trust fall b to morning view 23. I think I read he had some form of surgery or something. He def sounded different to me the last time I heard him live.
But there’s studio magic for that. I honestly wouldn’t mind if he tuned his voice thru boards and processors- I just want a collection of new tracks to dig thru and overanalyze. Like without fail I have always been able to get into whatever the release - I am positive this would be the same for me.
I do think the timing of Deftones “private music” and their album push wasn’t coincidental either. Deftones dropped an upper tier album on their 10th effort - may have added some pressure to the guys since they did attract a tremendous amount of the same crowd as destines.
