I was referring to the beginning of the song which sounded like it could have been lifted off an Asian Dub Foundation album.
Actually when the main generic riff kicked in I thought that spoiled everything and that was around the time I felt the song got boring.
Mmmmm I love generic riffs. Generic, generic, GENERIC!

Think of it as buying a Jamiroquai album instead of Inner Visions or Songs In The Key Of Life.
This argument is illogical. You could make the same argument about any band that ever dabbled into different styles. You wouldn't dismiss a Primal Scream attempt on psychedelic rock as a lame imitation of Jefferson Aeroplane, would you?

Obviously most of that Incubus album is funk metal and I posted that song because it is a very unique Incubus song. When you start listing some better funk metal bands who could dabble into "70s jazz rock" then your point will have some foundation...
