Brandon plays bongos during the bongo jam part (i forget which movement that is...)  In the live version they have a 3-way drum battle.

It's not really like any other stuff of theirs I have heard.My teenage daughter listens to them quite a bit and the other stuff of theirs I have heard doesn't sound like this.That is why this song surprised me so much.

Buying the Halo 2 soundtrack (Which is the only non-live place I'm aware of to get The Odyssey) sounds quite risky in the way that The Odyssey is the only thing there worth listening to. All I can say is if you have excess money right now and are a truly honest person, you have no problem and will most likely be satisfied to some extent. I wish I could buy Odyssey with something else I enjoy, rather then these alternative bands like Breaking Benjamin, etc. Goodluck dealing with that though.

I quite like Ben Kenney on bass.  He has a different style than their previous bassist, a little more understated and certainly less loud (the other guy could get a bit overly loud at times), but he gets the job done well.  If you need more convincing, check out the version of "Drive" on the Live at Red Rocks DVD.  the bass handles most of the chords and driving melody (the way acoustic guitar does in the studio version), while the guitarist plays around with some synthesizer.  It's a really interesting take on an overplayed song, and showcases Kenney's talent as a bassist as well as backing vocalist.

Also, "Deep Inside" is probably my favorite incubus song.  it combines jazz fusion, thrash metal and mr. bungle-esque changes in a rather pleasant way.

Whenever that is. If you haven't heard the Odyssey and are scared to

Thanks ProgCerebrum for bringing this to my attention, you-the-man.




Where would you be able to buy this? I haven't seen an official release like an
EP or anything. Is there one?

Have you heard the Odyssey yet? I actually just found it and am listening to
it. It's pretty much all instrumental and way beyond what they've done
before IMO. A HUGE step in the right direction for them (though I still
haven't heard the fifth movement yet.)

"S.C.I.E.N.C.E." are actually quite experimental for their time (yes
yes, of course not prog...)  but I like them.    Also, I
think Brandon Boyd is the most talented singer in mainstream rock
today.  the rest of the band are brilliant musicians, and they
continue to evolve their sound into something completely different
everytime they put out something new. 





Agreed. I love incubus.

EDIT: But I haven't heard the odyssey and can't find it anywhere. does
anyone know where I could find it?

Yeah, it's a brilliant piece.  They play a section of it on the Live at Red Rocks DVD.

I dont mind incubus as much as i use to, they have grown on me, I love the song 'are you in?' its got a great funky bassline and mink enziger uses some nice harmonics in the intro/verse. But yeah my mate has both Halo games so Iv heard it, its pretty differnt from what they normally do(a change musically perhaps?) and it rocks pretty hard and kiks plenty of ass. Incubus I call you to do more like it!
