considering getting into Incubus, so...

Blind Melon

Oh, and just a heads up... today was/is National Incubus Day.

I like most of their albums, but SCIENCE & Make Yourself are my favorites!

They are a pretty good live band too.....

????? What are you talking about????????????? Sorry but Morning view isn't pop..it's Rock with beautiful melodies.
I really like S.C.I.E.N.C.E and make yourself but I was totally blown away when Morning View came out. For me it's Incubus' best work!

i didn't specifically say they sounded like pop music. pop is just short for popular is it not? i think incubus had a more "successful" album with Morning View. it's what made them popular IMO.

Blind Melon

To be honest, I don't even see Incubus being popular anymore... at/after ACLOTM, no one really talked of them. It's actually kind of weird...

Light Grenades had several songs that got a lot of radio play in the NYC area & I thought it was pretty popular. I really liked Anna Molly.

Agreed, all awesome performances and while I did say that S.C.I.E.N.C.E was inferior musically, I guess it has to do with taste, perhaps I came across a little arrogant with that statement but I do prefer their more classic rock sound from ACLOTM...To me I really think that they shed that "NU Metal" tag that I think was probably thrown on them with that record...and S.C.I.E.N.C.E, to me, was a representation of the music around at that time i.e heaps of distortion and 'effects'...Again it's whatever you are interested in.

In my opinion, everything they did after S.c.i.e.n.c.e. pales in comparison. The 2 albums pre-Science are worth checking out too: "Fungus Amongus" (raw, no DJ), and the "Enjoy Incubus" EP.

I think S.c.i.e.n.c.e. is epic in every way. It's loud, aggressive, experimental, spacey, and over the top in every good way possible.

Well I've got basically every opinion imaginable, which is probably a good sign. I actually had access to Fungus Amongus, which I thought sucked, and I read about this one on Itunes and the review was pretty bad.

So, it looks like I pretty much can't go wrong; I'll start with the one that has "dig"

i agree with everything said.

Make Yourself was ok for a bit...but songs got overplayed so fast to the point i didn't want to hear them anymore.

Because it was their best work why can't succesfull be great or brilliant. I have the impression that a lot of people don't like Morning view because it was good-selling.
