From the time my cousin introduced me to Incubus with the album S.C.I.E.N.C.E I was hooked. I loved everything they've done from Fungus Amongus up until Light Grenades. I appreciate how they've never tried to force a certain sound and changed with each album as they matured musically and as people. My personal favorite album is A Crow Left of the Murder. The song composition and lyrics on that album are phenomenal in my opinion. However, I've been unable to enjoy If Not Now When? except for a couple songs. Any others feel this way?

Enjoy Incubus is still my favorite.

I know I'm in the minority on that one.

I agree completely. Make Yourself, Light Grenades, and Morning View are all my favorites because you can tell the music embodies the band members' emotions. INNW just seems forced IMO, and is not NEARLY as enjoyable as their other works. You have to be your music, and I just feel like that isn't the case with INNW.

I've really enjoyed their maturation process and have been a fan of all their styles. I rank Dig as my favorite song by them.

My favorite group of all time and I've somehow yet to find the time to listen to their last album. I didn't care for the direction the took but I have to tell myself that they never really stuck with 1 style.

People, including myself, have said that they sold out but even from fungus Amungus to science was transition. I think morning view was my favorite. Though that's like splitting hairs between science, morning view and make yourself. GREAT music wrapped up in those albums.

Some of the best song writers (lyrics and music). They don't stick to the cookie cutter type of chord progressions/notes/etc. Morning View is the best album IMO.

I'm a huge Incubus fan. My favorite album was Make Yourself. I think for no other reason than I was about 16 when it came out, and I was very impressionable. Science is flat out awesome. Morning View is probably my second favorite. I appreciate what they have become and how they have evolved and they never tried to push anything. I really wish they would come out with another album.

Sick Sad Little World is amazing on so many levels, I think that's the reason I love Crow. But I can listen to any album all the time.
