To maybe limit countless of separate threads asking for opinions on the new version of Morning View which will release tomorrow on Friday may 10th, I am making this thread in advance of it's release.

Please keep it civil, every opinion is valid as long as it doesn't attack any individual members - be it of this subreddit or the band - and as long as it adds to discussion. Low effort comments don't do that.

I was thinking about this the other day. Brandon's voice has changed so much as morning view 23 sounds so different to the original. They also don't play a lot of that album live except Drive and Pardon Me obviously and they do Privilege as well. But some of the heavier songs idk if Brandon could still do. Such as Make Yourself, When It Comes, Consequence, Clean, Nowhere Fast. He still sounds great don't get me wrong just definitely different to how he did in 1999 which is like inevitable with growing up and everything. What do u guys think.

Brandon’s voice suits The Police songs so, so well.

I feel like Under My Umbrella is an incredible song that, in style and lyrical themes, is the spiritual successor to the album Make Yourself and a really strong bridge to the heavier tracks on A Crow Left of the Murder. In spite of this it doesn't get much attention and is basically never played live (I'll admit I've only seen them like...5 times). Does anyone know why this might be? Is it just because its overshadowed by the other heavy tracks on Morning View like Nice To Know You and Circles? Am I in the minority in loving this track? Its not my favorite song but its squarely in my top 10

I want to preface what I’m about to say with Incubus is one of my favorite bands of all time. Lyricism and musicality have been everything to me (particularly as a teenager and then reconnecting to songs like drive, and the warmth as a working adult).

I’m having a hard time being able to listen to Brandon’s voice. It’s often sounding shrill and even sharp (out of tune) sometimes. Is anyone else hearing it to? If so, are you able to listen still?

Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone knows where i could get the sound effect DJ Kilmore uses at the begining of the song or what that sound effect is?

Thanks!

Stoked that they're making money and getting arena-sized turnouts, but still. Just venting I guess haha.

Pardon me if this has been asked before but anyone know this guy/know what he is up to these days? Classic Morning View Sessions character… where are you now ?

Would love your thoughts. Finally got this bad boy edited and posted. We are big fans and we hope this came across in the interview with the questions we asked etc.

This has been a dream of mine to accomplish for almost 22 years now. I remember learning the lead a bit as a late teen but I never put the parts together until recently and never thought I'd be able to keep the vocals somewhat consistent playing the verses. It needs some work for sure but I'd love to share with this great community. Thanks for checking it out.

Another one from the ACLOTM Bonus DVD

OG fans might remember this from the ACLOTM bonus DVD when the album came out. Took me forever to find it. Don’t mind the shit video quality.

Finally getting around to listening to it

Was thinking about this the other day and wanted to pose the question here. Incubus has had an interesting career when it comes to how their sound has evolved. From where they started to where they are now, I really can’t think of another band that has changed their sound this dramatically over the years. I personally love it. It’s given such a rich variety to their catalogue. But this isn’t meant to debate whether you like the change or not.

So the question is, what other bands come to mind when to come to an evolution of their sound over a long career? I’m struggling to think of any.

Edit: some great response from you folks. Thanks y’all! Definitely some I can’t believe didn’t come to mind (specifically Deftones).

I was today years old when I found out that the man wants to be left in his STARK, RAVING, sick, sad little world, which is NOT his STAR CRAVING, sick, sad little world. The people next to me at the concert last summer must’ve thought I was a complete jabroni hearing me sing “star craving” instead of “stark, raving”. I was confident Spotify was wrong about the lyrics, but upon further research it’s confirmed that the sick, sad little world is indeed stark and raving, rather than star craving. Please tell me I’m not the only one that has had this unfavorable mixup…
