SCIENCE (the album before this) was a huge reason they were marketed with nu metal bands. It was heavier. Maybe not Slipknot heavy, but heavy. Checkout a song like “Nebula” and you’ll hear it. On top of that, they came up with SOAD and Deftones. Those bands spent a ton of time with Incubus and they’re all friends to this day. Incubus and SOAD used to do signings at malls together before either band was big
I was big into very heavy stuff just like you. I found Incubus prior to Make Yourself. I was listening to them during Fungus / Science days and that was much heavier and funky. But there was something about the quality of this album that is damn good and i didnt need it to be heavier. Perfect for the time, and it aged quite well. Your fro guy is their guitarist, Mike Einziger, he's one of the most talented guitarists around. He makes things sound simple, but a lot of times deep down it's super complex, a ton of hendrix chords for no apparent reason. The noodling in Stellar is 2 strings, sliding and bending at the same time for some of it, it's a ton of fun to actually play. Track 4, The Warmth, is probably my favorite song of theirs.
Have those Drive chorus lyrics tatted on the inside of my bicep. This band changed my life man. Would give both my left testicles to be able to sing like Brandon Boyd.
Legendary album. They change in each album. None of the others sound like this. Go check out their song Crowded Elevator, it was a B side from this album and is also amazing. Science is earlier and definitely edgier and more experimental. But also freaking awesome.
Ben Kenney, one of the bassist for Incubus has amazing solo stuff, and some of it is very similar to incubus, but incubus can sound very different depending on the album.
34:20 Yup, you guessed it! Drive is my favorite song EVER and it did change my life 😂 also enjoyed the excitement you showed as the Make Yourself song was building up, that's how I felt when I first heard it.
It pissed me off because all my friends were just like you. Add up all those people that turned their head at incubus back in the day. They should be huge Great video btw
This was their 1st "mainstream" album, everythung before is heavy, funky and either chaotic or tranquil, sometime both. I prefer SCIENCE but only by a little. And Morning View a little less. Overall, they havent made an album i dislike. In 99 i thought they were to poppy for my taste, but that was just the industry handpicking what was gonna make money. Today, because of the variety of sounds of their albums and the message behind most of their songs, they're an easy top 15 band all time for me.
Great honest reaction bro! Now go back to the beginning and listen to just the drums, and then back to the beginning and listen to just the bass, and then back to the beginning and listen to just the lead guitar… Thanks for the reaction!
Make Yourself is their best. Science is their kinda psychedelic nu metal album. Morning View is their most mature album. A Crow Left Of The Murder is their most experimental album because they changed bassists and apparently he was kind of a dictator in the band (not sure on that, but heard he controlled the sound). they are all good
Back when I was a kid, I got cable and on MTV2 they did top 10 songs of the week, and slipknots left behind was number 2, and I loved slipknot. number 1 was Incubus wish you were here and I wrote them off completely cause they were shit compared to slipknot (I was a moron back then, still am now but anyhow), went back a couple years ago and re-listened to Incubus and fucking love them now. Hardly listen to Slipknot anymore.
I too went back to make yourself album and loved it , I then checked out science album and the rest it history , whenever you can , check it out . Thank you for these reactions 🙏
If you're loving the sounds on here you really have to check out album by them called S.C.I.E.N.C.E. man i promise you will be just as amazed if not more no joke. That album came across my path at random in walmart on a road trip and i saved to buy a guitar a few months later after hearing the guitarists wizardry work with effects and layers and unique jazz chords woven into metal. S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is much heavier and at the same time just as Funky & experimental if not more than Make Yourself😎
Mike Einziger is an underrated peudo afro guitarist and Jose Pasilles is such an underrated drummer.
Morning view & a crow left of the murder, now those are goats
@@fila365 Sick Sad Little World on Crow Left Of The Murder is Incubus's prog rock masterpiece

Imagine how lame the "Nu-Metal" scene would have been if Incubus, SOAD and Deftones never existed.
I love this…watching someone gain appreciation for this amazing band that they previously discarded is so fun!
My favorite Incubus album is A Crow Left of the Murder. Its a experimental rock album. 2004. Post nu metal. So good
Greatest album of all time.
The Warmth is one of my all time top 5 tracks
This album was everything to me when it came out. I love your reaction after just the first few notes, haha.

From SCIENCE up to A CROW LEFT OF THE MURDER are all quintessential, classic Incubus albums. I for one would be thrilled to see you do more.
You’re gonna love it!
Nice that you are uploading videos again
Dude this was great, you gotta do SCIENCE next!!!
This was a really fun reaction. Good on you for re-examining these bands.
SCIENCE and if you really wana hear some wild stuff FUNGUS AMONGUS

My favourite is Morning View. That's their big big one.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is probably more your style though.
Please react to morning view, their best album imo
I would classify Incubus, Portishead, and Radiohead in the same genre.

Listen to S.C.I.E.N.C.E next for sure
You check out the album before this. Science..its great. A bit weirder and heavier than this one.

If you like those chords try Stone Temple Pilots core if you haven’t already
I would call it and classify it as incubus...they are their own thing
Their Stellar music video always reminded me of Orgy's "Stitches" video too
You gotttaaaa react to Morning View. That shits nuts
This band is a lot better than the band on your shirt. Listen to S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
I fucking love Incubus, but come on now, be reasonable.
@@gregparry2632 I have ears. Nirvana is basic, as much respect as I have for them. Their music is inferior to Incubus to me.
17:10 95% positive that's a flanger.
can you react to refused (shape of punk to come or songs to fan the flames of discontent)?
6 seconds in…BLASPHEMY! I’ll give u the benefit of the doubt tho…but I’m watching u my friend! 😆
Check out Fair To Midlands album "arrows and anchors"
A Kublai Khan Tx or Angelmaker reaction would go hard.
Rock on dude
Comon man, be a hater of incubus? No way
Morning view is the shit
You should react to Human Clay by Creed. They are pretty popular again now and it could be a good time to react to their music :)
React to The used self titled album , or senses fail, still searching álbum
I'd actually like to see how he feels about Still Searching
ok, maduraste bro, y tu gusto por la musica creció. that´s all.
PLEASE LISTEN TO CROW LEFT OF THE MURDER
React to And Justice for All album by Metallica!
