I liked the video. When I first watched it. I was like whoa, this is a nice video. Then I didn't know about this site. But seeing this site with a link to the video, I decide to leave my comment.

A Changing Of Times
** Before anybody reads this just know that I am only voicing my opinion and am in no way disregard the opinions of others because as stated by not only our legislation, but our own self righteousness, our opinion is our own and nobody can take that away from us... HOWEVER, I would like to offer up some advice for those hating on Incubus **
You guys say that "this MV/song is not the Incubus i know" which is a completely valid statement, but to be fair its not the Incubus ANYBODY knows because they are taking a step in a new direction... as they have done for the last 15 years with almost every album they have released. For example, Fungus Amongus was a weird stage for not only them, but also the fans (lol) because it incorporated a kind of slap bass funk metal scream sing melodic discordance which they slowly matured out of leading to the release of Enjoy Incubus which I still to this day think is the tits. Enjoy Incubus still had that same funky feel and weird hilarity to offer, especially with lyrics such as "it doesn't mean poo poo without your nest or stumbled upon a brain fart" but it was still a step towards a NEW Incubus. Enjoy Incubus lead to S.C.I.E.N.C.E. which was finally professionally mixed and sounded f***ing incredible, especially Idiot Box, regardless of the amount of acid that was being taken at the time haha Either way this was still a NEW Incubus. Make Yourself is by far the most popular album cause it contains Make Yourself, I Miss You, Pardon Me, and Drive, which may I remind you DRIVE was one of the MOST PLAYED SONGS IN THE 90's! and the MUSIC VIDEO was shown on MTV FOR-f***ING-EVER! It has nothing to do with "selling out", they make f***ing great music and corporations like MTV are smart enough to see a great promotion opportunity! Morning View brought on a surfer mentality if you will, (which sadly brought on a lot of DUDE BRO, DOUCHE BAGS, TOOLS, and for lack of a better word, FRAT-DADDYS, to start listening, but lets face it they are too busy chugging Mad Dog and Natty Light and crushing their cans on their foreheads to actually LISTEN and UNDERSTAND the album so its a moot point haha.) A Crow Left of the Murder was shear and excellent genius, greatly in part to the bringing on of Ben Kenney, whose solo stuff, if you haven't already checked it out, is f***ing brilliant! Ben incorporated a similar, but at the same time COMPLETELY DIFFERENT sound than Alex, and I think it was so much for the better. This was the MATUREST of the albums in sound, technique, musicality, composition, everything about this album was spectacular, and may I yet again say it was due to a NEW f***ING INCUBUS! Light Grenades, yes was definitely different... but the f***ing album was nothing short of amazing and this album came out on my 18th birthday so I had an erection at the very thought of it being released the entire time I was listening to it haha but this album was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than anything they had created before and DIG was one of the most played songs on the radio in 2007-2008 BECAUSE IT IS A f***ING GOOD SONG! has nothing to do with selling out! people want to listen to great music, its not their fault that on their last 4 cds they've released there has been a song that took over the radio... they are brilliant musicians with what seems to be and endless array of talent!
All in all, you make take this information as you will, regurgitate it and call it s***, idk what you kids are doing these days, but either way, keep in mind they're musicians and musicians have slightly more developed right brains and our subject to change at any moment, but in the end its going to be accepted in some manner as genius!
Keep making amazing music you guys! You've been a giant part of my life and for that I cannot thank you enough! I'll see you at the Woodland Springs, Austin, and Dallas shows this year!!!!!
Thank you
I was able to wrap my head around Light Grenades.... sort of...but this?
Brandon is looking very fresh. I like his new look. Frankly, this song was very uninspiring for me. I knew something was wrong when I bought the Light Grenades album and kept skipping past songs( However I manage to fall in love with a few). It seems like they are not putting forth any effort into their song writing anymore. It's just generic music now. It's sad for me to admit not liking this new direction. A Crow Left of the Murder was a departure, but I LOVED IT!! I loved the whole ACLOTM album and everything before it. I thought Light Grenades would be even more ACLOTM. I was wrong. I understand that they can't always please the fans and that they have to do what makes them happy as musicians. It's just kinda hard for me to swallow this new stuff. However I will always take a bite, because come on it's frickin' Incubus.

Not too Shabby!!
I agree, it's not the artistic flair we normally see from our genuises..... But, I'm not complaining!!! Love the song since I first heard it! Brandon will always be my "husband".. Mike is my "boyfriend on the side"... and b/c of this video.. Jose is now my "sancho"!!!!

perplexed shade of blonde
I am surprised at this video-hey Brandon, was this just an opportunity to suck face with the hollywood cliche? Couldn't you pass your bandmates a little som-something? I probably have a misinformed point of view-like someone not gettin the inside joke. I have to admit,I haven't even read the lyrics so the whole point of this video could be a break against the mold. I will stand beside this dissapointment until I get more info. On the other hand, I think we glorify you too much in the sense that you should hold up some sort of moral fiber that far exceeds our own or you should fit into our certain picture of how you should be or choose to die in our lives. It's like that part in Forest Gump where Forest stops running and all have the purpose for their own lives rung out of their lungs as he turns-God forbid- to his own path. I can't be run by you- though your smooth fluids might sustain me for a while. I reserve the right to not worship all your works- maybe some fellow fans could shed some light on my inertia video dilemma. Can I deny your overall charm? I choose not to. I will plunge into the surf to try for your "island". if I am caught up in the tide and drowned will you be pleased to know that I hope your lyrics will contribute to my last stage of consciousness?In other words,I will remain a fan- just cause I know you are so deprived of them. -CADENZ P.S. Brandon your lip whoring stint has released the jealous obsessor in me-don't worry, I will find a group for it.
:]
wicked. way to go guys.
brandon, you look great!
can't wait for the tour.
Not your typical Incubus
Hm, not typical of you guys. The song's great though, and I would never criticize! Wow, holy s*** Brandon! I had a feeling you would be a great kisser! WHEW!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhgg!!!!! >_<

I Can't Wait Until 6/16!!!
June 16 is a day I'll be CELEBRATING, 'cause I'll be finally holding "Monuments and Melodies" in my hands!!! Incubus is one of my FAVORITE bands; I absolutely LOVE their music...........not to mention, BRANDON is HOTTT!!!!!!!!!
Truly, I'm totally BURSTING WITH EXCITEMENT for this 2-disc release!!!!

1 out of 10
im a big fan of incubus....but this vids is just another commercial-oriented-non-experimental MV. the song is ok (but not good enough) but to add up with this kind of MV, it is a total disappointment..... sorry but this MV/song is not the Incubus i know
!
the latter of the two..."just too stupid to get the irony of this video"

the one and last
i'm one of your biggest fans (like the rest
)..
what happened to you guys? i bet you will never read and of course never answer this comment, the new video is so commercial... did something turn your ego up? should we count on the "you" from yesterday? or am i just too stupid to get the irony of this video?
about Brandon
What is the problem with Brandon? Just want to attract women, who happened to voice leading the band and the attitude he had?
the new video s.u.c.k.s.
That is assumed to be the video? the plot and script of the video are very bad, and I regret to say that truth is the worst video in the history of Incubus, that supposed to mean? Brandon kissing any woman who crosses him, while the background sounds band? Truth hate this video, being a fan of Incubus is a disappointment for me having to watch this video, the song is so good, and good will have to watch the videos and skip past that made this video ... I do not like the truth at all, I hope the band does not become any band commercial and Brandon become a model like the jonas brothers, incubus or end up being a pop band like backstreet boys or nsync...
Finally!!!
Awesome!!! I love the new video & song! Can't wait for the greatest hits album to come out! I will see you guys here in Philly this summer at the Festival Pier! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Awesome
Two words...
Love it.

SO PISSED>
Ok, I moved to england about two weeks ago from Jersey. I'm so f***ing pissed off that Incubus is gonna be touring the U.S and Canada right after I leave
You guys are my favorite band EVER, I'm trying to let my mom go back for the Canada show, but I dont know whats happening with that. All I can do is pray
But, with the preordering of the cd, its only for residents of the UNITED STATES!
I really need to know if its comming out in england on the same day as america, because i want to camp outside of the Virgin music store here.
I LOVE YOU GUYS. EVEN THO YOU're NOT COMMING TO ENGLAND!! <3
<3

Mrs. Brandon boyd
I had to watch the video with no sound...
...because my computer is taking a crap. However; seeing Brandon in two kissy scenes ...eeewww!
He looked cutest on his knees at the end! Regardless, I will enjoy & appreciate every shred of Incubus I can get, including section 2 row B in Miami - I am ecstatic!
Nice!
Cool video! The picture at the end proves that although BB's a genius, he doesn't take himself too seriously! Great!
The guys look fantanstic (but I still think Brandon should let his hair grow again. It suites him better ; -)

PLAYFUL!!!
A departure for sure, but definitely playful and fun!!! Not quite what I expected from the song, but it works nonetheless - and the ending is just a total scream!!!
I love the new doo on Brandon, but let's face it, he could be bald and still look smokin' HOT!!! The rest of the guys looked good too and looked like they were having a great time.
Love the song and can't wait to see them 8/5 in NYC -- I'm in Orchestra!!!!
xoxo
Short Hair
I think that Brandon looks good with the short hair! Not enough shots of the other guys in the video although I doubt that they care.

Ok boys!!
I am and always will be an Incubus fan, but to my surprise, there is no shows lined up for WV.
WHAT THE HELL!
Come on guys there are good paying fans here too!!!!
Give us a chance, stop by and at least play one show, even if it is at a bar or something.
If you do, let me know, so i can be there front row center.
Sarah
Great Video!!
I love the New Video. You guys have yet to let me down keep up the good work. Oh and hey just out of curiosity is that blonde from the video seeing anybody, if not put in a good word for me. lol
Sex Attacks
Yes, Incubus is finally living up to it's name. What's been done in the dark, will eventually be brought to light. Remember that...
Is Jose Sick??
It is me? or Jose looks pretty skinny??
The video made the song better.
When I downloaded BHI I was disappointed...another crappy love song like the ones on Light Grenades. Seeing the video and watching Brandon sing it has helped me like the song more. I'm still not totally down with it, but at least I won't delete it off my Incubus playlist now. And I'm hoping that seeing the guys in August will have the same effect on the other songs I don't care for all that much.

it's just another day in the life of apes with ego trips
awesome video!
absolutly amazing I loved the concept of it! i love how they keep doing things differently. pretty funny too! INCUBUS ROCKS too bad I cant go to any of their shows this summer T.T
PLEASE COME TO COSTA RICA AGAIN!
Interesting????
I guess the video has to grow on me. Its kinda random!!!??
yesh.
yes, it's a great song, the video is funny, everything's good with it, all that sold out comments, it can't be true, not when Incubus have more than 10 years giving the best of 'em, selling out is for new bands, so i think it's really a nice vid, by the way, what happened to Brandon's Gauges?? he looks funny lol but he's amazing in everyway possible, Love Incubus<3
Kafran
oh wow haha
that ending is classic...im still laughing haha
cant wait to see you guys in august!!
Stellar Fans
It's really astonishing to see just how very sweet you people really are.
LOVE the new video!
Good as always,... I'm never disappointed with Incubus's videos. (:

What?
I don't get the humor... I guess it's ok. I mean it's the usual mtv crap, no surprises there....
I love the video
I like me the video, what I do not like me it was that you were ordering me the link to see it, without being able to see it because it was not available. do not you see that I remain with the desires until the following day, and because in the web in Spanish anybody was generous and put in youtube???
But the video I like me very much, brandon boyd, he is a great actor!!haha
Please come to spain or portugal and that could buy as soon as possible the CD

HAHAHAH
i just laughed my ass off watching this video. I love the music, it makes me want to scream, and dance, and laugh... and this video is sooooo f***ing non-sense, it maches the good vibe of the song perfectly. also, the way the band scenes were photographed, just amazing. love that last mike's shot, alone playin'. and, OMG, you guys look so grown up! and jose is so thin! ben's bass is just beautiful, and so is the bassline on this song. after all, it's different from every other thing i've seen from incubus, wich shows you guys still have a long road ahead.
congratz!
love, from this huge fan waiting for u to come back to brazil!
