With the exception of Incubus’ first album tastefully
titled, Fungus Amongus, I am most joyous to announce that I possess
every album of theirs. For this reason, I must say I am very pleased with
their latest release, Morning View. Oh, how sweet it is.
Lately, rock band releases have been filled with garbage, doodoo rap metal, and
simply a handful of ugly, angry kids screaming about their rights and what the
world owes them. All of this hoopla just exhausts the ears and
increases the need for some damn good rock music. Let me tell you something –
Incubus has pinned the tail on the donkey (Cheesy? That’s me). Songs
like “11am” and “Warning” are definitely living proof that they can create
tracks that reveal a strong sense of cool, melodrama. The esoteric “Aqueous
Transmission” really surprised me the first time I listened to it. The bass
line and Middle Eastern strings are great touches to it. “Mexico” is also
another song worth mentioning as far as chillin-mo-frillin-with-your-windows-
rolled-down music goes.
Don’t let the honeyed down tunes get to you though, Mike Einziger still rocks
the place with the guitar-blaring tracks such as “Have You Ever” and “Blood On
The Ground.” The choruses continue to be finessed by DJ Kilmore’s sweet
scratching and elementary juggling too.
Check their new album out. They keep getting better. *sniff* I’m so proud of
them… Seriously, if you have an irresistible fetish for dramatic music that
rocks, Morning View may just be your match for an all-day eargasm.

Yeah, I liked their hard stuff too. But change is always cool. I'll just go with what I learned in Biology today -- you can't stop evolution. :)

What happened to their harder stuff like "Nebula" or even just simple, upbeat songs like "Out From Under"? Don't get me wrong, I love Incubus, but it almost sounds like they lost their steam, and have turned their focus from rocking to becoming technically more advanced. I want to hear something with their old energy!
