I agree, it's a very solid song (and album). I just think they had changed their musical direction with this album in particular.

This the only thing you need from that whole thing.

I guess, but the lead single was Wish You Were Here and that was only "soft" relative to the other nu-metal bands dick-measuring whose dad could beat up the other bands dad.

The refrain especially has that overdriven guitar that was a hallmark of ****ty post-grunge of that era. Today they (Incubus) don't sound as djent as the rest of the field and thereby aren't as embarrassing to say you'd seen/listened to. But therein exposes the major flaw of nu-metal. No one dared stand out lest you be called a major pussy. So Incubus wrote "Drive" and Mudvayne decided to do "Artsy Slipknot" and everyone else tried to be Korn, to the point that major record labels signed Adema because the lead singer was Jonathan Davis' stepbrother when Adema hadn't played a single gig together as a band.

The movement was a nightmare.

You sure you've got the spine to do that? You could self-incriminate.
