If Not Now, When? by Incubus
If Not Now, When? is an album by Incubus, released in 2011. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 24 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Adolescents”, on 24 lists with a best position of #8.
If Not Now, When?, Incubus's seventh album, came out on July 12, 2011, borrowing its title from a Primo Levi novel. It followed an extended hiatus, the longest the band had yet gone between studio records, and it turned out to be their last full-length for Epic, their label for years. Brendan O'Brien, a familiar face in their camp, produced.
Mike Einziger pitched it as direct and to the point, and it plays that way: polished, unhurried pop rock with Brandon Boyd's voice front and center and the band behind him, Einziger on guitar, José Pasillas on drums, Ben Kenney on bass and Chris Kilmore on turntables, playing for mood rather than muscle. "Adolescents" and "Promises, Promises" went out ahead of it as singles. Tightrope walker Philippe Petit is on the cover, a fitting image for a record so intent on keeping its balance. It still opened at number two in the US.
