Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E (1997)

😈

Heyy lovely~

😈: link the naughtiest most deranged pornographic horrifying problematic fanwork you’ve ever enjoyed. bonus points if you tag op

Ughhh I was looking forever for that fic that I mentioned where Spidey gets too excited and clenches DP's dick off. But I can't find it! I'm so sad I thought I bookmarked it ;-; Luckily I read a lot of interesting smutty fics, so I'm gonna go with @quicksilver-castiel S.C.I.E.N.C.E. series because I enjoy the plot, the characterization, and of course the bloody sexy times endlessly.

For the Sleepover Ask Game

I sewed a tbh creature onto my jacket while crying and listening to Incubus's 1997 album S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

🎢🦅 for the fanfic writer asks? :3

Hi, Will. :3

🎢 - Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

Ooooh, definitely my S.C.I.E.N.C.E series (Midam AU with incubus Adam). This story started out as a pure porn idea, and then somehow spawned plot. It's kinky. It has Raphael being so done. It has demon Adam as the son of a hunter (John, ofc).

Let's just say. Stuff happens. (Including lots of kinky stuff with ✨ pain slut Michael. ✨)

Though if we're going by 'no porn', then I'd have to say In The End, an endverse Midam story that I wrote for 31 prompts for Endversetober. I had a blast writing it, and coming up with stuff for the different prompts. It also answers such pressing questions as 'What if this timeline couldn't be rebooted' and 'What if Lucifer, while possessing Sam, drank demon blood?' and also 'Would Rufus and Linda fuck if they knew each other, and why is the answer 'yeah, all the time'?'

🦅 - Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

Well, this depends. I started off never outlining anything, but the more I wrote (and the more it's longer stuff), the more I tend to take notes. Usually, when something comes to me, I write it down now, because it turns out that my horrible memory is in fact also horrible when it comes to my stories. 😅

That doesn't mean that I've always got everything planned in advance. For my high school AU, for example, I outline a chapter, write it, and then outline the next lol.

So. Tl;dr: It depends, lol.

how does the slippin’ jimmy cartoon fit into the team S.C.I.E.N.C.E timeline

you see a poll on tumblr asking your favorite/least hated tumblrcore album and the options are the last 5 albums you listened to:

incubus- morning view, incubus- s.c.i.e.n.c.e, mgmt- congratulations, angelique kidjo- remain in light, and vampire weekend- contra

i am once again thinking about team s.c.i.e.n.c.e and how fucking impressive it is... WHEN did he have the tiiime

Let’s talk about solo episodes, shall we? And particularly Numbuh 2’s.

This will be a bit long, so I’ll add a cut:

I have always thought that Numbuh 2 had the ABSOLUTE WORST solo episodes. But I had a HUGE realization after someone on Twitter pointed this out:

The majority of his solo episodes relied entirely on gimmicks. The detective gimmick, the western gimmick, etc. And while I get that a lot of people thought the gimmicks were cool and all, I think it’s tragic that his episodes relied so heavily on those themes because solo episodes should be opportunities for character development, and those opportunities were wasted by being about him pretending to be things he’s not, and acting completely out of character.

And some of the solo episodes that weren’t necessarily gimmicks still involved him acting very out of character, like S.I.T.T.E.R. for example. People say Operation B.U.T.T. aged badly, but S.I.T.T.E.R. was far worse, I can’t even stand to rewatch that one. Total abomination of an episode that did not need to exist. Same with K.I.S.S. Also hated Operation S.C.I.E.N.C.E. because that one is just stupid and was also unnecessary. Total insult to the 2x4 tech weapons and vehicles he’s capable of creating.

The only solo episode I can think of that was actually very good was Operation D.O.G.F.I.G.H.T. because in that episode he was his true genuine self, no gimmicks, no out of character behavior, and the episode was centered around his main passion, which is flying.

It’s just sad that he acted most in character and like himself when he was among the others. As such a complex character, there was plenty to work with for solo episodes, they could have explored more about his family background like they did with Kuki and Nigel, they could have explored more with his ACTUAL 2x4 tech capabilities, more with his feelings toward Abby, the list goes on.

I just feel like his character development was badly neglected. Why they gotta do my boi like that -_-

could you do a best 1997 album poll?

As usual, couldn't fit all of them so here are another few worth mentioning: Portishead's self titled, Be Here Now by Oasis, Either/Or by Elliott Smith, The Velvet Rope by Janet Jackson, S.C.I.E.N.C.E. by Incubus, The Fat of the Land by The Prodigy, and so many more!

S.C.I.E.N.C.E by Incubus is my no skip album. There.

PLAY S.C.I.E.N.C.E YOU COWARDS!!!

Incubus – A Crow Left Of The Murder…

I can vividly remember my excitement for the fifth studio album by Incubus called A Crow Left of the Murder… since the band was on a legendary run of successful records. The started to break through in the nu-metal scene with S.C.I.E.N.C.E., established themselves as Alt Rock heavyweights on Make Yourself, and showcased their experimental side on Morning View. Even after the departure of longtime bassist Dirk Lance, in favor of Ben Kenney (The Roots), it seemed like nothing could derail the trajectory of one of my favorite bands of all time. A Crow Left of the Murder… found Incubus working with veteran producer Brendan O’Brien, whose credits include some of the biggest rock bands of all time, and their trust in his style paid off on this record that still sounds as refreshing and exciting as I remember from 20 years ago listening to it in full for the first time. While some critics thought that Incubus were getting ultra-experimental, for the sake of being adventurous, after the success of their earlier albums, guitarist Mike Einziger clarified in a 2004 interview that, “we’ve never felt we didn’t have that freedom. We’ve always done what we wanted. It’s kind of self-serving, but that’s how we do it. We try not to pay attention to anything but each other.” By putting that trust back into their musical product, Incubus delivered the goods on what I consider to be some of the best work to date. The albums blasts off with a growling guitar riff on the lead single, “Megalomaniac,” that targets power-crazed individuals and their affinity for destructive behavior. Hmm, sounds familiar…Lead vocalist Brandon Boyd is as captivating as he’s ever been on the anthemic chorus of, “Hey, megalomaniac / You’re no Jesus, yeah, you’re no fucking Elvis / Wash your hands clean of yourself, baby / And step down, step down, step down,” as he makes his and his bandmates intentions clear that they weren’t happy with the status quo of the world. For as strong as a lead single the song is, I found it a tad surprising that their label would only release one additional official single from the LP that is loaded with great material. The title track follows with a frenetic pace to the instruments, while Boyd goes between soft to loud in his vocal approach to accentuate each lyric based on its purpose. The first verse of, “Unlearn me / Ditch what I read behind what I heard / Look, find, free / Yet? Do you get it yet? Do you get it?” finds the vocalist pondering what needs to be done to get the world to change for the better. “Agoraphobia” showcases their new bassist (Kenney) prominently with a pulsating bass line throughout the verses before gradually building to the chorus of, “I wanna stay inside / I wanna stay inside for good / I wanna stay inside / For good, for good, for good, for good,” that still merits its weight in gold today having lived through a pandemic. What Incubus does well on songs like this is to never rush their hook. They slow-build to their memorable moments and make sure they hit all of their intended targets, much like a painter putting the finishing touches on their canvas. The only other single to be released from the LP, “Talk Shows on Mute,” is a stunning ballad about the effects that television can have on us all. The refrain of, “Come one, come all / To 1984,” is in reference to the legendary book by George Orwell, which makes us all think about how far we still need to go as a society to avoid repeating unfortunate historical events. Boyd delivers another memorable vocal performance on this single that still stands the test of time in more ways than one. ”Beware! Criminal” and especially “Six Sad Little World” find Incubus leaning into some prog-rock elements, while still remaining recognizable in their Alt-rock roots by featuring uplifting choruses. On the latter, Boyd’s admission that “The world is a drought when out of love,” is as beautiful as it is tragic, and yet it still rings true today. The abrasive, speedy rock of “Pistola” marked a… https://chorus.fm/reviews/incubus-a-crow-left-of-the-murder/
