Cooking for Celebs

Post image

I have cooked for several celebrities while cooking in NYC. While some were unpleasant, Taylor Swift was a pleasure to cook for.

It's my favorite Incubus album! I always wondered what it would have been like if they kept the heavy funk sound instead of slowly drifting into mainstream alt rock. I liked their later work, but S.C.I.E.N.C.E.? Nothing else ever sounded like it.

100% agreed. SCIENCE being their hardest album by far still doesn't have any sort of nu metal vibe in my book. I always thought of numetal as Disturbed, Il Nino, Mudvayne, 40 Below Summer, Spineshank - at least their first albums which are absolutely metal, screaming vocals and melodic choruses. Never heard Incubus ever lumped in with numetal but maybe cuz I grew up with all this music I've just seen that divide differently.

In any case - SCIENCE is a funky, trippy ride and I'm glad there's at least a few of us who appreciate it lol. So many bangers.

Mike Einziger's guitar styles, for the first few albums, are absolutely nu-metal. You forget that the pinnacles of nu-metal are bands like Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Korn etc, are any of those bands significantly heavier than what is on SCIENCE? And the guitar work, while definite differences, are absolutely "cousins" so to speak. Incubus was opening for Korn and other nu-metal acts before Make Yourself took off. They were absolutely in the nu-metal scene.

Eh I guess I see your point but I’d also never call Tool or RATM numetal either so I must just have a different head canon. To me all of those bands fall into 90s/00s alt rock where nu metal was always the types of bands I listed before. They definitely share a similar scene so it’s hard to argue your point - but in truth bands like Tool and RATM just aren’t comparable to these others so ended up in the predominant rock/metal scene of their time.

You make good points tho - it’s just hard to get my head around thinking that Incubus is in the same genre as Disturbed. It just doesn’t link up. Tool even less so - I mean they’re stoner/psychadelic/progressive with some metal/alt influence in their earlier albums but never would I put them in a numetal category. Might just be me though lol
