Hi.  I'm 48, which might mean I would not be the typical Incubus fan, not the average fan at least.  Well, I liked Incubus from far before they were here in Puerto Rico (2007); yet I went to their concert just to check how they played alive.  It was almost unbelievable!!!  Lucky thing before they began to play someone told the audience to either stay calm, or Incubus would quit playing...otherwise I might have been one among many jumping from high to who knows where, such was the way Incubus carried me away.  This is to say, I am too old to get carried away like that, but Incubus has such a tremendous energy and power to it it can do like that to anyone who can vibrate to their mental frequency, which is very high.  And there's the point: the other kind of music, the music that sucks, lowers one's mental frequency, so to speak.  Incubus gets you high without the need of using any substance.  At least it works for me.  In scene: unbelievable!!!!  Two hours and a half singing, jumping, and playing the very best rock music around.  Giving themselves fully without the bulls.t the music industry have accostumed people to.  Technically, their music is not tonal but modal, in the sense that free jazz is modal music.  The guitar is just magical (I play guitar as well): exactly everything one wants to hear from a guitar player.  The 'obstinatos' Led Zeppelin-style, exquisite riffs, subtleties style Rage against the Machine, and all, everything on a very high note, a natural high, at least for those of us who can get into their music and thus get transported by it to the stratosphere.  Oh, and then, in the middle of their Puerto Rico concert, in the middle of one of their songs, they began to play and sing a song by The Police, Do,Do,Do, De,Do,Da,Da, and it was so magical because it sounded perhaps better than played by The Police.  That night I walked home feeling like I was walking on the air, my feet felt very light after screaming, singing, and dancing for two hours and a half.  Age difference vanished among the audience, at least for me: one stops caring about oneself when seeing and listening to such a wild yet sophisticated rock band.  Thank you, Incubus, for coming to Puerto Rico, and come back again!

I forgot a quote.  Those of you who love Incubus might want to listen to Jeff Buckley, which to me has a lot to do with Incubus.  I mean the spirit, the inner freedom of Jeff Buckley, his legacy to the Los Angeles rock movement. In some passages of A crow left of the murder I hear the spontaneity of Jeff Buckley, which is wondrous because Jeff died back on 1997 and one would have believed that never again anyone could possibly re-create Jeff's spirit.  Incubus does.  Without pomposity, either.  Bud do listen to Jeff if you still don't know his music (notice: it may be too intense for some).
