The band still draws a large audience live, owed in no small part by the individual group members’ maintained abilities. Singles like Wish you were here, Nice to know you, Are you in? were further proof of a band willing to venture out, refreshen their sound, yet still, potentially, manage chart winners.Ĭonsidering the dual nature of the band, artsy indie rockers meet heavy-duty detuned rock, it’s interesting to witness how Incubus remains vital in 2020. Their next album, Morning View, would further help clarify their ideas and solidify their reputation. The album moved many copies, particularly on the success of songs like Drive, Stellar and Pardon me. And, maybe apart from the Deftones’ White Pony, no other top-selling record of the time quite achieved the balance between pleasing head-banging festival crowds, as well as teenage oddballs. But, its three of its singles were tremendously successful. Critics of the record might even call it pompous.
Make Yourself is an odd, big record, chock-full of strange perspectives, angsty lyrics, great hooks and a style that fans of bands like Linkin Park or Deftones could adhere to. Incubus were lucky to strike a nice balance between commercial acceptance and critical approval.Īs time has gone by, Incubus’ image has remained that of a band that lead the pack in terms of sheer inventiveness, rather than being one of the numerous nu-metal imitators that, at one point, flooded the airwaves.
However, the ones that did, as unusual as some were found their ways on to singles and then on to radio and tv promotion.
