I had a nice surprise this morning, my pre-order for Incubus’ If Not Now, When album was available to download on iTunes!
I’ve already expressed my thoughts on a couple of tracks released earlier, ‘Promises Promises’ and ‘Friends and Lovers’, where I stated a slower tempo seemed to be on the cards for the next album. Well I wasn’t wrong, this album has a very relaxed feel about it compared to previous Incubus outings. The great thing about Incubus, whether you are a fan or not, is that each album tries to be something different, I can think of a couple of bands where the last few albums have felt pretty similar (Foos and Coldplay). If Not Now, When? is a stark contrast of the Incubus of the 90′s.
If you’re a fan of earlier Incubus tracks, this probably won’t be for you. However, if your taste buds for rock have mellowed (like mine) over the last few years then you won’t be disappointed.
My stand out track choices are:
- Isadore – A very catchy track.
- Switchblade – Purely for the drum and bass combo, ok there is one fast tempo track
You can listen to Incubus, If Not Now, When on Spotify now!
Agree with all of the above. A great album!
