morning view is their peak for me, although Crow Left is fantastic too.
i do like black heart enertia.
Unfortunatly, I saw them a couple of years back when they were touring for the Light Grenades album, and they seemed to have lost their "spark". They just seemed to be going through the motions, and didn't seem into their preformance at all. I was hoping I had just caught them on an off night (I believe everybody is allowed a couple of them) but after talking to some people who saw them on multiple dates, it sounded like they were just off the whole tour (or at least the 5 or shows I heard about).
Even their recent albums just sound lifeless and un-energetic to me, especially when compared with their earlier releases. I can still get into S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and Make Yourself, but after those I just lose interest in them.

Overall, i love listening to them, but to me, not all their albums are great. Although they do have a spot in my heart...good, long story about when I saw them in Atlanta with my now girlfriend. Wayy too much Crown Royal!

and last night, i just made an incubus mix cd for the car. the only albums i have are make yourself and morning view.
nowhere fast off make yourself is dope. so are a lot of songs off that record. overall, not a bad group.
I just like the music they produce and think they're decent live. The only thing is...Brandon Boyd bugs the hell out of me.

I can agree on the Brandon comment...love Incubus, but something about Brandon Boyd just doesn't settle well with me...I guess I feel that I can sense that he is conceited. :?

Yeah same here. I just always wish he'd keep his shirt on. If I wanted to see a scrawny man i'd look in the mirror!

I actually think SCIENCE and Fungus Amongus are kinda stupid. Their later stuff is more mature and unique IMO.

Follow the link and watch either the whole performance of sick sad little world or from 6 minutes on. prepared to be blown away. one of the best live bands out there. point proven.

the 7 minute mark is freaking amazing!!!!
Me too. Saw them last month @ the USANA Amphitheatre. The show was alright. They didn't play any rare tracks, which kind of bummed me out, most of the stuff they played was their hits. But I guess it was understandable...they did just release a greatest hits.

Yea you're right, I saw them on that tour and it was terrible. I remember thinking the opening band did a better job (The Bravery). Maybe it was because they played mostly songs from Light Grenades and IMO that entire album is trash. I had seen them about five times before and they were awesome, so I was dissapointed that last time. I'm going to seem them next week and hopefully since they're touring for the greatest hits, it'll be less Light Grenades.
Yeah, I agree...Incubus is really great, I really like them
but
Brandon is a poseur to me...
and this youtube improvization is stilted in my opinion, less is more I believe, and that 6-7 minutes improvization is not that enjoyable at all...
and that's my problem with Brandon, he has been somehow sophisticated to me and when they played right before Pearl Jam in Holland, it was clear he is nowhere as suggestive and natural as Ed.
But SCIENCE, MAKE YOURSELF and A CROW... are fantastic records!
