Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0696998522725 Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 85227 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: October 23, 2001 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Though Morning View follows hot on the heels of Incubus's breakthrough single, "Drive," it doesn't feel rushed. After all, their previous album, Make Yourself, was released nearly two years ago. Like fellow Los Angeles metal pioneers System of a Down, Incubus find themselves lumped in with the nu-metal fraternity merely because they're young(ish), angry, and very loud. That's more than a little unfair, because their sound owes more to the clever and creative funk-metal of Faith No More and the Red Hot Chili Peppers than the faux-rap posturing of Limp Bizkit. In fact, songs like "Nice to Know You," "Circles," and the excellent "Blood on the Ground" display real maturity. But that's not all that sets Incubus apart: on "I Wish You Were Here," "Just a Phase," "11 a.m.," and "Mexico," they show an uncharacteristic willingness to tread softly, using acoustic guitars and touches of strings to make less noise, but more impact. Some could call it selling out, but it sounds more like growing up. Morning View is a leap forward for a band that continues to get better with each release. --Robert Burrow Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Amazing!I'm a newer fan to Incubus (I bought this CD in 2005) but I absolutely love them and this CD is amazing! It's a lot different than their previous albums and this whole CD has a very California, laid-back vibe to it. Awesome lyrics, wonderful vocals, and it's very catchy! I recommend this to everyone! 1. Nice to Know You- 10/10 2. Circles- 9/10 3. Wish You Were Here- 10/10 4. Just a Phase- 9/10 5. 11 AM- 10/10 6. Blood on the Ground- 8/10 7. Mexico ...

It's very mellow, and even catchier than "Make Yourself." Most of the album is carried along by the vocals with the instruments becoming a little more subdued and relaxed. It's built on atmosphere and keeping a calm vibe, and it's basically a world apart from the unrestrained funk metal of "Fungus Amongus." There are still some heavier songs such as "Nice to Know ...

Back in High School, they were my favorite band. Since their 2004 album, A Crow Left of the Murder, I've steadily grown out of love with them. Brandon Boyd is truly unparalleled as a rock vocalist, though as a lyricist he's sometimes laughably flawed. Likewise, Mike Einziger often wavers between guitar god and spirited amateur. Incubus has their moments on every album where they simply blow ... Read More Rating: - Perhaps Under-rated, and very darkWhen "Morning View" was released in 2001, it seemed to get some flack for the fact that it was "to mellow" and the band had "sold out" due to the popularity of "Drive" off of "Make Yourself". NOW, it is true that the album has a bit more of a laid back sound, when you compare it to "S.C.I.E.N.C.E" but dont let the more laid back tone fool you, Its very dark, and my opinion is the dark sound, with the obvious "down tuning" of guitars gives it a very heavy feel. "Morning View" has a great feel to it, and it ...
