Saw the video for Drive the other day and I really enjoyed the song. Also got "Wish you were here" and I like it as well. What are some other good Incubus songs? Never really listened to them before, and I don't even know how recent these songs are, but I like them. Any recommendations?

TIA.

both "Make Yourself" and "Morning View" albums are good, IMO. "S.C.I.E.N.C.E." is alright too, but their sound is a little different (more metal). recommended songs off "Make Yourself": Stellar, I Miss You, Pardon Me, The Warmth, Clean. recommended songs off "Morning View": Nice to Know You, Wish You Were Here, Under My Umbrella, 11 AM, Mexico, haha, the whole CD is good. can't wait for their new one! :D

I third Mexico. My new favorite Incubus song, been messing around with it on the guitar the past week.

SCIENCE like stated was their first album (iirc) - very different sound - kinda metal/grungy, almost garage band style sound with a lot of mixing. Make Yourself was a step away from that as well as Morning View. Both MY AND MV are great albums imho - do yourself a favor and pick up both albums

S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is the only album worth listening to. They smoked too much pot after that album.

I totally agree....

My theory is simply that they smoke too much pot now.

I saw them live at Ozzfest 98. That was an awesome show.

I saw them in '99 and they were awesome...don't care for the newer stuff as much.

where do you get that they smoke "too much pot?" i think their new stuff is more mature and the songs are well written and the music goes along with it nicely. who cares if they smoke anyways. saw them in green bay in October 2002 and it was awesome, except for my friend passing out due to probably the heat and lack of good breathing.

Make Yourself and Morning View were great albums. I cannot find a song that I dislike on their Morning View album. Look at these lyrics:

I dig my toes into the sand.
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket.
I lean against the wind, pretend that i am weightless and in this moment i am happy.

I am bottled fizzy water
And you are shaking me up
You are a fingernail running
Down the chalkboard I thought I left in third grade
Now my only consolation
Is that this could not last forever
Even though you're singing and thinking how well you've got it made

despite the consistent heaviness of SCIENCE, i think it was their most creative and diverse album. morning view has some good tracks, but the singles on the album strike me as pretty formulaic. "wish you were here" is such a generic song, lyrically, melodically (vocals), and musically (guitars). seems as if they've lost their intensity and are heading in the direction of hippy-peaceloving-oneness-with-everything-zen-buddism. nothing wrong with that, but i don't think it makes for interesting music.

Incubus' early stuff is the best. Back before they all burnt out on heroin.

Their first CD is Fungus Amongus. It actually is my favorite and has my favorite Incubus song "Trouble in 421".

The second was was a partial re-release called Enjoy Incubus. Then came SCIENCE, still my favorite. Then was Make Yourself, which was awesome, and Morning View, which is mixed with good songs and bad.

Some of my favorites are Hot Dancer, Nebula, Certain Shade of Green, and the one at the end of science about bath tubs and suds (awesome song). Most are from SCIENCE.

I really don't like some of the songs on Morning view, including Warning and its stupid music video.
