    My favorite is S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and Fungus Amongus... Their best is Morning View, by far. That album is brilliant.

    Light Grenades and Crow Left of the Murder both leave something to be desired.

    It was close between Science and Morning View. Picked Morning View though.

    Make Yourself may have better single songs, but as far as a complete album goes, Morning View is one of my favorites of the last decade.

    I think A Crow is getting a bad rap - it's certainly not their best, but I definitely think it's better than Light Grenades.

    Neither album holds a candle to the stuff they were doing with Lance in the band. I don't think he was the reason for their greatness, but Incubus with Lance is great--Incubus post Lance has been lackluster to say the least.

    They've certainly fallen off with their last 2 albums. SCIENCE, Make Yourself, and Morning View are all amazing though. I think my favorite out of those is Morning View.

    Such a nasty run... They were the most important band in rock and roll for a while.

    A Crow... isn't anywhere near as bad as some people say it is.

    I voted for Morning View.

    i agree 100% with this statement. i think SCIENCE and make yourself are great and its been a slow decline since.

    crow is very very good. however, its tough to touch science, morning view, and make yourself. incubus is one of my favorite bands.

    This is a pretty damn hard decision because Science and Morning View are pretty killer and I absolutely love Fungus.

    This thread is prompting me to listen to both Make Yourself and Morning View today... it had been awhile. His voice is a freak of nature. I could listen to him sing just about anything and be just fine with it.

    Morning View is just an incredibly beautiful album on many levels. I happen to like Light Grenades too, I don't know why people hate on it. Sure, it's not as great as Morning View but I still think it's good music. Don't listen to it much tho hahaha.

    Morning View is best, closely trailed by Make Yourself.
    Light Grenades is a travesty.

    Morning view is in my to three albums by anyone ever.

    I actually like crow left and ligh grenades and i don't think they are nearly as bad as ppl say, but they truly don't hold a candle to science make yourself and morning view. They need to put out a new album already!

    Agreed, and the scary awesome thing is he sounds just as good if not even better live.

    It's a very interesting thing isn't it? I don't see Lance as the reason why they were incredible, but I think they changed their views as to what they wanted to make musically after his departure.

    I think the most interesting thing about Incubus (and the reason why they're one of my all time favorite bands) is the fact that every album is how much they've completely changed their sound. Their very early stuff (Fungus, Enjoy Incubus) they were estentially a funk-metal band. I had never heard a band like them. They didn't change much going into SCIENCE, but you can definitely hear the maturity in the record. Make Yourself and Morning View are two albums that really show Incubus' glory. They're both fantastic from start to finish, most of the songs have their own sound and influence, and they are truly amazing. Totally eclectic albums.

    Brandon Boyd is what has made me come back to incubus time and time again. I'll never get sick of his voice. Amazing range, great tone, and just all around a blast to listen to. He'll always be trying new things, and he the main reason Incubus is so great.

    I totally agree with everything here... My theory on Lance is that he was the disciplined driving force to the band getting things accomplished. Boyd himself has said that he's very lazy, and you can see it in his lyrics and the overall music from the band since Lance has left. Lance wasn't musically the reason that the band was great, but I think he had a lot to do with the band not accepting mediocraty... Which they have done since he's left.

    Morning View and Make Yourself are by far their most accessible albums to the public, and I also think the strongest... Morning View was one of the best mainstream rock albums of the past 15 years, in fact... At their peak (coming off of the release of Morning View), Incubus held the future of alternative rock and roll in the palm of their hands... The underground respected them, and the mainstream was listening. Any progressive musical movement on their part would be looked at by both sides as gutsy and important, and would be taken seriously... The fall of Incubus as a band both critically and commercially since has been incredibly sad for me, as a fan of the band, and a fan of the alt rock music scene in gereral.
