Hmm this actually surprises me as a fan of Incubus since ~2003. Please check out the album Morning View. Damn.... ya'll can't do the exact same thing for 20 years. Extremely disappointed.
Incubus is best consumed in album form. They have some hits, but there are too many jazz influences for them to go full mainstream. They make beautiful soundscapes and the music is best in long form. Megalomaniac is a banger.
The entire Morning View album is a VIBE all its own. It goes from this level of quiet tension to all out madness. This song encapsulates that really well. Every song on the album is fantastic, and the lyrics have some true poetry in them. Worth watching with the lyrics so you can catch everything. Warning is another stand out track. Or Blood on the ground. Or...
@@seamusburke639 I would say partly. There is a span of songs that feel very breakup focused (Just a phase, 11am, Blood on the Ground, Mexico) but others are very much love songs. Hard to call it one way or the othrr
Other songs by them that I really love: Dig, Drive, Pardon Me, Wish You Were Here...this one is okay, always loved his voice. Incubus is a nostalgic fave of mine from back in the day. Geez at my age now, everything's pretty nostalgic!
Love Incubus! Great bass! Their "Make Yourself", "Morning View", and "S.C.I.E.N.C.E." albums are fantastic! My favorite song is A Certain Shade of Green.
Incubus' music can range from a mellow vibe to jazz-funk to intense alt-metal. It really is all over the place. Their biggest hits were their more mellow vibe songs. "Drive" was their biggest hit. "Pardon Me", "Stellar", and "Aqueous Transmission" are all great.
This whole album was amazing. Good choice. Incubus would be the result of Portishead and Alice and Chains had a baby. You should've checked out Pardon Me, that was their breakthrough song.
If you continue on the Incubus journey, you have such a ride ahead. I caught them live in '98 supporting their S.C.I.E.N.C.E album and was blown away. Science and Make Yourself albums are peak Incubus, for me. Especially given the times, absolutely out of left field and creative, and rocked. You could see Brandon finding his voice all along the way to become the powerhouse singer he is, today.
Incubus is my all time favorite band, right up there with Rage. A lot of fans hated this album because their previous stuff was a lot harder, and many accused them of “selling out.” Some songs you should check out: Dig, Anna Molly, Megalomaniac, Warning. And if you’re looking for the harder stuff, the SCIENCE album is the best place to start. I finally got to live out my one and only bucket list item and see them perform at Red Rocks last year, I cried like a baby the entire time. I hope the next song you hear from them lives up to the hype 😊
@@ShirleyTimple Dumb take. This album is musically a fucking masterpiece. It will stand the test of time better than any of their other albums. If Bass players were musical savants, they'd be guitarists.
Oh I love the unplugged versions of Incubus live. They had such a great concert. Totally bliss 🤘 try listening to the song called drive, pardon me and wish you were here. Those three tracks are all home runs
I follow you cuz im a huge Tool fan but I'm a big Incubus fan as well and glad u are diving into this band. They do have a great vibe. This song is at the top of my list of Incubus songs but there are still many. Song is on a great album as well.
My guy, definitely check out more of them. LOVE Incubus, I see them in concert whenever they come around my city. Really diverse catalog, though the biggest transition was between the SCIENCE and Make Yourself albums. Recommend Dig, New Skin, Pardon Me, A Certain Shade of Green, Wish you were here... actually probably too many for me to recommend. Great band, please do more.
If this is your first reaction to Incubus... make sure to check more songs out. They are all over the map when it comes to tempo and vibe. One of my fav. bands ... hope to see more
Incubus SCIENCE album is my favorite. Redefine, vitamins, my favorite things, and deep inside. Most of the album is one song listenable, there is one or two that would sound weird solo but fit the groove of the album. Deep inside has a nice groovy jazz with some burst of chaos, my favorite.
A band that has fallen from the general public’s eye lately. This band is so incredibly important to me and this has always been one of my top 5 incubus songs.
Having a dj made more sense back when funk was a big part of their sound. Make yourself is a great album, but a certain shade of green from s.c.i.e.n.c.e. is the one song that will make you go "holy shit" if you've never listened to incubus. Summer romance will always be my personal favorite
Incubus and Bush are true goats of 90's alternative music. Could never get tired of hearing them in repetition. One thing is tough, getting the live to sound anything like the recorded version. I mean the time that somebody said the live is so much better than the recorded was never. Haha But I'm sure if your told the right song and not live, your enjoyment maybe furthered. And you are correct in assuming that most bands don't carry a DJ in their back pockets. Incubus, Slipknot, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit and Deftones are some to name a few.
Don't sleep on these guys Polo, they definitely deserve some more attention. I admit that the first time I heard them they didn't "blow my socks off" either, but they absolutely do grow on you..(there's a reason they have a double CD greatest hits album called Monuments and Memories.)
Aww man this music takes me back! Good times Good music and great memories. Enjoyed the reaction man have a blessed day! Oh pardon me is a great song by these guys.
I'm so glad you got a fairly accurate start on Incubus. This is slightly on the chiller side. If you like this song you'll like more from them. If you don't like this song then they won't be your next tool.
This live show is probably one of the best performances I've seen this band put on, I highly recommend watching the entire thing you won't be disappointed.
Deftones actually have a DJ in their band, Frank Delgado. He joined them around 1995 For their sophomore recording Around the Fur. He adds a ton of ambience to the band and Opens up a lot of doors for creativity. The video and song for you've seen the Butcher Is definitely worth checking out and I will gladly hit you up on cash app to do that 1. Thank you for the content and I hope you have a great day. Always look forward to tools day🤙🤙g
I have to recommend Under My Umbrella and Sick Sad Little World if you want to hear the harder edge of Incubus, super dynamic band and they were amazing live when I caught them a few years back, always awesome dude!
Incubus are just unique… he’s a ridiculously innovative guitarist and songwriter and Brandon’s voice is one of those you immediately know it’s him. That + the different musical backgrounds of the rest of the band make for this insane combo…. And they are RIDICULOUS live.
I will always remember Incubus as a band that never stood still. Every single album they evolved, much like Tool! I love that you're getting in on this journey. Brandon is up to the challenge, too, he's a PHENOMENAL vocalist. This was a really odd first Incubus song... It kinda works best in the album context. Pardon Me, Warning, Summer Romance, Privilege, Drive, Favorite Things, Megalomaniac, Sick Sad Little World...Try any of those.
His voice is like butter. Such a vibe. I spent many hours listening to this band before twenty one pilots took over my brain. Brandon’s pronunciation is so clear and smooth.
Incubus is so good. I can’t say I’ve listened or liked their later stuff but I love anything from the 3 albums that keep getting mentioned here. I Wish You Were Here and Vitamin are 2 of my favorites. The Science album has all the “fun” stuff and it’s probably my favorite to listen to.
Man, getting to see them live has honestly been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. They sound amazing, have tons of energy, and know how to work a crowd. My husband and I were supposed to see them, but a few months before they came into town, the pandemic hit the States. They have a pretty good range of musical styles, and some songs are catchier, while others have deeper lyrics. Definitely give them another shot!
This made me sooooo happy! Wish more reactors did Incubus. They have so many amazing songs! Lyrical genius! Check out “Wish you were here” it seems to be a favorite of people new to them
When I was 8, Make Yourself (& The Marshall Mathers LP) were first two CDs I ever bought. Ever since then, incubus has been my absolute favorite. To this day, I feel their music in my core. As I’ve grown and matured over the years, so has Incubus’ music. Each album more different than the last. And always on their own terms creatively. I think that’s what ppl who wrote them off years ago don’t understand. Incubus does not care what you or mainstream music want or think you want. It’s right there in the album title A Crow Left of the Murder. Ill quit rambling and sum it up by saying that if you quit listening when Dirk left, I am terribly sorry that you have missed out on some incredible music. But it’s not too late. Make Yourself
Holy hell, same here! Raging out with science and make yourself at age 12, isolated and angry. Seeking peace but still bitter with morning view. Met my future husband plus woke up to how dark the world can be with crow left of the murder. Wanted to do something about it with light grenades. Went through a dark night of the soul with if not now, when. Came out the other side wanting to connect with others with 8. Living a grounded but spiritual life with trust fall. How in the world did it happen to be the soundtrack of my life? It isn't coincidence, there's no such thing!
Tracks: Certain Shade of Green, Idiot Box, Nebula, Vitamin, Make Yourself, The Warmth, "Drive" was their big radio hit as it's more chill and appeals to a wide range audience.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E and Make Yourself are their two beat albums. Their sound completely changed after S.C.I.E.N.C.E, and I feel like they fell off after Make Yourself. Check out Certain Shade of Green, Vitamin, Favorite Things, Pardon Me, Stellar, Drive, Make Yourself.
I saw them live in the mid 90’s when they were hardcore. They toured with Marilyn Manson. Brandon still had his dreads. Completely different band when they first started out.
Was at a Incubus concert I side a packed arena... he plumes and plucks his guitar between. So gs. Then start the sponge bob square pants theme. The whole arena in since "He lives in a pineapple under the sea... " It was amazing! Just a great band. Xo
You NEED to go down the Incubus rabbit hole. Watch their live video at Red Rocks. (old fart here….I’ve seen them live twice. Once indoor and one outdoor venues. Outstanding!!!). ☮️❤️
@@Belly_Beane SO cool!! The concerts we went to were like a sing along…most of the fans knew every word and many harmonized with Brandon. And while that wasn’t my usual concert vibe I enjoyed every note!! ☮️❤️
Literally my favorite band and they definitely don’t get enough credit! They have so many songs that are on every end of the spectrum and the lyrics are amazing in almost every song. You definitely need to check out more Incubus. Not enough reactions in my opinion. There’s a few I think you need to check out… Wish you were here Dig The warmth Nice to know you
This is an interesting first take on the band. I think the live track is a great intro so you get a feel of who's doing what, and should help you appreciate whatever you do next. The newer albums are quite different from the first few albums, and while I appreciate the full span of their style, I tend to lean toward their earlier chaos.
I was a huge Incubus fan in high school and college. I still am but their earlier albums up to and including Morning View were their best! Circles, Mexico, Idiot Box, A Certain Shade of Green, Consequence and so many more are worth checking out!
I like Incubus a lot, but Just a Phase isn’t the song I would’ve picked to introduce someone to Incubus. This is pretty deep into their catalog, so I was pretty surprised to see this was the first Incubus song that you reacted to. For a better sense of their body of work, I’d recommend the songs Pardon Me, Nice To Know You, or Wish You Were Here. Or, to check out their heavier, funkier roots, check out something off of their SCIENCE album, like New Skin or Certain Shade of Green. PS - The album that this track comes off of, Morning View, is definitely one of those albums you listen to all the way through. This song is way better within that context.
My favorite band of all time. So much evolution from Fungus Amongus up until now. Their range is everywhere. I had the pleasure of meeting them in 2009 and it was a dream come true. Every musician within their group compliments the other so well. True masters of their art. I recommend listening to every album in their entirety from Fungus Amongus to 8.
Incubus are growers, not show-ers. You have to give them time. That being said, A Certain Shade of Green, Drive, Pardon Me are probably the 3 to get started on, and most likely to hook you in.
I saw them at Lallapalooza in 2003 and in Tampa 2004. They were my favorite band for a while then they started experimenting with other music and i kind of drifted apart from them. This is still one of my favorite live performances and Bradon's vocals are Stellar..😊
Great band, great song, kind of a deep cut and the live version at that. I think the best introduction anyone can get to them is probably "I Wish You Were Here" but they have a lot of great radio hits like Pardon Me, Drive, Warning, etc. You could also check out some of their really great deeper cuts like Redefine or Sick, Sad Little World but they're also a band you should understand the lyrics for like Tool. Lots of great meaning hidden inside their vibey music.
Awh man. You reminded me how much I loved Incubus. But for some reason I never got like an album of theirs and really dug into it. I’m gonna have to fulfill that urge now. I do recall that I got to see/hear them live way back when at a Lollapalooza which was FANTASTIC. I think it was late 90’s. It was incredible; Janes Addiction was there as was Chris Cornell with whoever he was with at the time. I do think Incubus was so underrated and under appreciated as artists especially the front man Boyd.
This band began as skate funk, moved through numetal territory, then adult contemporary hard rock. It's all good but morning view was the last album of theirs I bought. S. C. I E. N. C. E. has all the bangers and the antigravity love song.
great reaction POLO. Incubus is a band that has had an interesting evolution, I personally prefer the older albums and tracks, you could listen to the track called The Warmth, from their 1999 album Make Yourself.
A lot of people love this band and I'm curious to see why... Don't forget to like the video if you want more of them on my channel. Also, If you enjoy what I do and want to continue to see MUSIC reactions on this channel consider supporting. 70% of my videos are not monetized.

Morning view was such an amazing album!!
Is it fair to call Morning View a break-up album?
@@seamusburke639 I would say partly. There is a span of songs that feel very breakup focused (Just a phase, 11am, Blood on the Ground, Mexico) but others are very much love songs. Hard to call it one way or the othrr
@@DullBoyJack Yes, I'll agree with that. There's a four song stretch that's like "the break-up portion."
Yeah, that entire album is essential Incubus. Every song. Classic.
Probably the most underrated band of the last 30 yrs.
wym theyre rock legends who’re gonna be played on the radio until the end of time lol
Other songs by them that I really love: Dig, Drive, Pardon Me, Wish You Were Here...this one is okay, always loved his voice. Incubus is a nostalgic fave of mine from back in the day. Geez at my age now, everything's pretty nostalgic!
WE ARE NOT OLD DAMMIT ❤
All great, though I'd personally add "Anna Molly" "The Warning" and "Out from Under"
“I miss you” also Stellar are amazing too.
Incubus is such a vibe. Boyd has an amazing voice.
Most boyds DO sing real pretty, 'specially in Joysey 😅
I got to see them live in the Philippines over a decade ago. It was a fantastic show
He used to, saw them a few years ago and he's hurting.
@@Wilem35 That’s unfortunate, I haven’t seen them live for probably close to 10 years.
And they are INCREDIBLE live! They sound just like their CD!
Love Incubus! Great bass! Their "Make Yourself", "Morning View", and "S.C.I.E.N.C.E." albums are fantastic! My favorite song is A Certain Shade of Green.
MAKE YOURSELF, damn near perfect album
It's the Warmth for me
Great song
Great song. One of my favorites too. Hits so hard
SCIENCE has always been my favorite album by them but their first 4-5 albums were amazing.
having a DJ in your band was a very late-90s, early-00s thing to do. Even Deftones have a DJ!
They are not only DJs, they also are keyboardists and synth players.
Incubus' music can range from a mellow vibe to jazz-funk to intense alt-metal. It really is all over the place. Their biggest hits were their more mellow vibe songs. "Drive" was their biggest hit. "Pardon Me", "Stellar", and "Aqueous Transmission" are all great.
Showing people who think Incubus is just "Drive" the album S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is so fun.
Aqueous Transmission is my "walk in the rain and watch the world turn" song. It's just so serene. I love it.
This whole album was amazing. Good choice. Incubus would be the result of Portishead and Alice and Chains had a baby. You should've checked out Pardon Me, that was their breakthrough song.
pardon me.? hehe
new skin
More loke RHCP met the police and hung out with tool.
If you continue on the Incubus journey, you have such a ride ahead. I caught them live in '98 supporting their S.C.I.E.N.C.E album and was blown away. Science and Make Yourself albums are peak Incubus, for me. Especially given the times, absolutely out of left field and creative, and rocked. You could see Brandon finding his voice all along the way to become the powerhouse singer he is, today.
for me too
Yes!!!👐👐🌈☄
S.C.I.E.N.C.E

Incubus is my all time favorite band, right up there with Rage. A lot of fans hated this album because their previous stuff was a lot harder, and many accused them of “selling out.”

This album IS when they sold out. Even Dirk the bass player left after this appeal to the ladies, lol.
Did you get to meet them?! Or just seen them perform?
@@forevermarked5826 just saw them perform. It wild be cool to meet them, but being at Red Rocks was good enough for me.
@@ShirleyTimple Dumb take. This album is musically a fucking masterpiece. It will stand the test of time better than any of their other albums. If Bass players were musical savants, they'd be guitarists.

Cmon that was a soft toss 😂😂😂
A band that has fallen from the general public’s eye lately. This band is so incredibly important to me and this has always been one of my top 5 incubus songs.
When I first read your comment, I thought you were going to say, "A band that has fallen from the sky . . . " LoL!
Science is a great album. They are truly unique. Early 2000’s they were the real deal
I’ve seen Incubus reactions, but never a reaction to Just a Phase. I love this song, so thank you for reacting to it!
Actually my first time giving Incubus an honest listen as well. I hear a lot of Jeff Buckley influence in this tune; beautiful
One of my favourites from Incubus. Such an underrated track & band. They deserve all of our praise ❤👏🏽👏🏽
Having a dj made more sense back when funk was a big part of their sound. Make yourself is a great album, but a certain shade of green from s.c.i.e.n.c.e. is the one song that will make you go "holy shit" if you've never listened to incubus. Summer romance will always be my personal favorite
Awesome!!! This band is so versatile. I love them. Great choice. Amazing musicians.

Pardon Me was their first big hit. Worth checking out
I love Incubus!! Seen them live 4 times.
Incubus is criminally underrated!
Saw these guys live maybe forever ago, they opened for Type O Negative. That was one hell of a show
Oh my god I would have loved to have seen Type O Negative. 💔💔💔💔
Their best album. That said, their music has a huge variation, some being quite hard to extremely mellow. Amazing band.
Incubus "The Warmth" has to be one of my fav songs of all times and has gotten me through some hard times.
Don't sleep on these guys Polo, they definitely deserve some more attention. I admit that the first time I heard them they didn't "blow my socks off" either, but they absolutely do grow on you..(there's a reason they have a double CD greatest hits album called Monuments and Memories.)
This took me back to high school. The song drive or what ever tomorrow brings..
Aww man this music takes me back! Good times Good music and great memories. Enjoyed the reaction man have a blessed day! Oh pardon me is a great song by these guys.
I'm so glad you got a fairly accurate start on Incubus. This is slightly on the chiller side. If you like this song you'll like more from them. If you don't like this song then they won't be your next tool.
Yes sir!! Saw the Deftones open up for Incubus a couple years ago. They absolutely phenomenal.
Hell yeah! Just saw them both in Vegas! 🤘
I return weekly hoping for some new incubus! Thanks for the great adventure this far on your channel!
Incubus! The memories I have hearing their songs! Super vibey
This live show is probably one of the best performances I've seen this band put on, I highly recommend watching the entire thing you won't be disappointed.
Incubus is the epitome of a band w noblimits. They just play what they feel. If u start at fungusamongus and work foward its unreal.
Deftones actually have a DJ in their band, Frank Delgado. He joined them around 1995 For their sophomore recording Around the Fur. He adds a ton of ambience to the band and Opens up a lot of doors for creativity.
The video and song for you've seen the Butcher Is definitely worth checking out and I will gladly hit you up on cash app to do that 1. Thank you for the content and I hope you have a great day. Always look forward to tools day🤙🤙g
"Pardon Me" and "Nice to know you" HQ live version.. I think you'd enjoy this performance...one of their best!!!!
Incubus writes some of the best music of all time.
I have to recommend Under My Umbrella and Sick Sad Little World if you want to hear the harder edge of Incubus, super dynamic band and they were amazing live when I caught them a few years back, always awesome dude!
People love to crap on this band, but the musicianship is top tier for a band that was so main stream at the time. So sincere. So honest.
-Wish you were here
-Pardon Me
-Nice to know you
-New Skin
-Drive
-Dig
-Stellar
Just to name a few…. there’s so many more!
Incubus are just unique… he’s a ridiculously innovative guitarist and songwriter and Brandon’s voice is one of those you immediately know it’s him. That + the different musical backgrounds of the rest of the band make for this insane combo…. And they are RIDICULOUS live.
Incubus is amazing. They are phenomenal live as well.
The warmth! I personally think you would love this song. And Incubus as a whole!
From this same concert...
_Nice To Know You_ &
_Wish You Were Here_
They have some really good songs. “Pardon Me” and “Wish You Were Here” are a couple that should pull you in more.
I forgot how much I liked these guys. Thanx for the reminder. I would love to hear your reaction to Queensrych's version of Scarborough fair
One of the greatest bands of all time. My favorite. Welcome to the club! 🤙🏾
One of my favorite bands! I highly recommend listening to all their albums! It’ll be quite an awesome experience :)
Finally!!! Thankyou for reacting to this! Everything from the “make yourself” and “morning view” albums is this good or better! Check it all out bro!
My favorite 3 courses have always been Tool, Deftones, and Incubus. Something for everyone and you'll always be content.
One of my favourites. Seen them live too.
Ditto. 30 Seconds to Mars opened when I saw them. Jared Leto is not fan friendly.
I will always remember Incubus as a band that never stood still. Every single album they evolved, much like Tool! I love that you're getting in on this journey. Brandon is up to the challenge, too, he's a PHENOMENAL vocalist.

Yess this is my favourite song by my favourite band! Love incubus!
thank you for shedding light on the lesser known
Was at a Incubus concert I side a packed arena... he plumes and plucks his guitar between. So gs. Then start the sponge bob square pants theme. The whole arena in since "He lives in a pineapple under the sea... " It was amazing! Just a great band. Xo
You NEED to go down the Incubus rabbit hole. Watch their live video at Red Rocks. (old fart here….I’ve seen them live twice. Once indoor and one outdoor venues. Outstanding!!!). ☮️❤️
That DVD started my journey in 2004 to see them live at Red Rocks. It finally happened last year and I will cherish it forever!
@@Belly_Beane SO cool!! The concerts we went to were like a sing along…most of the fans knew every word and many harmonized with Brandon. And while that wasn’t my usual concert vibe I enjoyed every note!! ☮️❤️
Can't believe your first incubus song wasn't pardon me, steller, or something off if science or fungus among us
I have seen this band live more than any other simply amazing!
The BEST rock band today along with the Foo Fighters.
Morning view is just art and a vibe at the same time 🌄 🌄 🌄
Brandon was very charismatic back in the 90’s when Incubus first started out as a hardcore band.
Glass and New Skin from this gig are two must listen tracks!👌
I'd love to see a co-headlining your with 311 & Incubus! Have they ever toured together? I feel like they have a very similar vibe.
So happy! My favorite band!
My favorite is Nice to Know You. An earlier release but great. Any way you look at it, you can't go wrong with Incubus!❤
Literally my favorite band and they definitely don’t get enough credit! They have so many songs that are on every end of the spectrum and the lyrics are amazing in almost every song. You definitely need to check out more Incubus. Not enough reactions in my opinion.
There’s a few I think you need to check out…
Wish you were here
Dig
The warmth
Nice to know you
This is an interesting first take on the band. I think the live track is a great intro so you get a feel of who's doing what, and should help you appreciate whatever you do next.
The newer albums are quite different from the first few albums, and while I appreciate the full span of their style, I tend to lean toward their earlier chaos.
One of my favorite all-time bands. They're amazing live. 💖🦋
LOVE Incubus!!!
I was a huge Incubus fan in high school and college. I still am but their earlier albums up to and including Morning View were their best! Circles, Mexico, Idiot Box, A Certain Shade of Green, Consequence and so many more are worth checking out!
I like Incubus a lot, but Just a Phase isn’t the song I would’ve picked to introduce someone to Incubus. This is pretty deep into their catalog, so I was pretty surprised to see this was the first Incubus song that you reacted to. For a better sense of their body of work, I’d recommend the songs Pardon Me, Nice To Know You, or Wish You Were Here. Or, to check out their heavier, funkier roots, check out something off of their SCIENCE album, like New Skin or Certain Shade of Green.
PS - The album that this track comes off of, Morning View, is definitely one of those albums you listen to all the way through. This song is way better within that context.
Big fan of incubus but never heard this one. Thanks polo!
My favorite band of all time. So much evolution from Fungus Amongus up until now. Their range is everywhere. I had the pleasure of meeting them in 2009 and it was a dream come true. Every musician within their group compliments the other so well. True masters of their art. I recommend listening to every album in their entirety from Fungus Amongus to 8.
Sick Sad Little World would be my suggestion. It's a masterpiece.
Incubus are growers, not show-ers. You have to give them time. That being said, A Certain Shade of Green, Drive, Pardon Me are probably the 3 to get started on, and most likely to hook you in.
I saw them at Lallapalooza in 2003 and in Tampa 2004. They were my favorite band for a while then they started experimenting with other music and i kind of drifted apart from them. This is still one of my favorite live performances and Bradon's vocals are Stellar..😊
Great band, great song, kind of a deep cut and the live version at that.
I think the best introduction anyone can get to them is probably "I Wish You Were Here" but they have a lot of great radio hits like Pardon Me, Drive, Warning, etc.
You could also check out some of their really great deeper cuts like Redefine or Sick, Sad Little World but they're also a band you should understand the lyrics for like Tool. Lots of great meaning hidden inside their vibey music.
They have a few good songs just like most bands of the late nineties early 2000's.
Love Incubus. Check out The Warmth from that same show.
Awh man. You reminded me how much I loved Incubus. But for some reason I never got like an album of theirs and really dug into it. I’m gonna have to fulfill that urge now.
I do recall that I got to see/hear them live way back when at a Lollapalooza which was FANTASTIC. I think it was late 90’s. It was incredible; Janes Addiction was there as was Chris Cornell with whoever he was with at the time.
I do think Incubus was so underrated and under appreciated as artists especially the front man Boyd.
This band began as skate funk, moved through numetal territory, then adult contemporary hard rock. It's all good but morning view was the last album of theirs I bought. S. C. I E. N. C. E. has all the bangers and the antigravity love song.
great reaction POLO. Incubus is a band that has had an interesting evolution, I personally prefer the older albums and tracks, you could listen to the track called The Warmth, from their 1999 album Make Yourself.
Awesome band. Love this song
Incubus: Circles, A Crow Left of the Murder, Anomaly, Dig, Pardon Me, Warning, Sick Sad Little World, Megalomaniac, Stellar and so much more!
