This is an interesting album from Incubus, mainly because it doesn't sound like any of their previous records. On here, they've entered a new phase in their career, opting for a more challenging sound. The vocals are wilder and more adventurous, the guitar is less distorted and riff-heavy and relies on more complicated melody lines and progressions, the bass has a more prominent role this time around, and the drumming is more complex and technical.

It still has the Incubus feel, but it seems less restrained and much riskier. The songs are still catchy and varied, but they seem more musically advanced. There is an extended jam in the middle of "Sick Sad Little World" that is a whole new dimension for the band, and songs like "Pistola," "Priceless" and the title track have an energy and recklessness about them that hasn't been displayed since the "S.C.I.E.N.C.E." days. Along with that, there are still pleasant softer songs such as "Southern Girl" and "Here in My Room."

It's a bold album for the band which hints at a long, bright future.
