Incubus Nice to Know You | Composer Reaction with Lyrics

[@Swollen_Goat]

Morning View is such a perfect album. Never gets old for me.

[@Sillyygxrl]

I agree this album is a 10/10 for me.

[@zacharysmithingell5460]

Beautiful songs, perfect engineering. I love everything about this album.

[@VintageParkingTV]

SAME.

[@ProudFilthyCasual]

It is stunning the amount of "Incubus fans" I just discovered absolutely hate this album. People are insufferable. I can't comprehend not liking this album, of all the albums. This to me, is the album that cemented their musicianship and catapulted them to another level of legendary status. It widened their sound and catalogue to a place more similar to Primus, Rage Against The Machine, or even Ween for me, in that, they are the only band that sounds like them.

[@ProudFilthyCasual]

@@zacharysmithingell5460 The engineering on this album will NEVER get enough credit, imo.

Big facts

100%

[@paularnold8228]

S.C.I.E.N.C.E., Make Yourself, and Morning View were a heck of a trio of back-to-back-to-back albums.

[@GRiP1700]

A Crow Left of the Murder is very solid as well

[@ajokay]

I mean... and then Light Grenades, which contains some absolute gems

[@seanconnors1613]

It was after Dirk left. They lost the slap

[@jeremiah-garmon]

Everything they made was good

[@jahkareramkissoon419]

​@@jeremiah-garmonehhh 8 was. Something i guess. It was pretty mid if im being honest and thats as someone who got their vinyl signed by the entire band when i went to see them live for the album tour.

22 years ago. Crazy.

Early incubus is 🔥🔥🔥

[@seionne85]

Early incubus used the scratch sound a lot, they actually have a song called battlestar scratchlactica lol

[@douglasmijangos3327]

To me Incubus was the band that came to me like a breath of fresh air when I was drowning in depression as a kid ❤ a lot of bands like Nirvana.. Pennywise..Suicidal Tendencies.. made you feel anger and relief.. you really don’t think about .. but Incubus made me stop and realize something was happening inside my body.. maybe chemically .. maybe I felt my soul moving..

[@AteThisYesterday]

This is a great explanation of what Incubus was for me, too, thanks for nailing it.

[@thevilifyingforce]

Incubus and Finger Eleven(The Greyest of Blue Skies) really hit me when I was young.

[@real_yomchi]

Aqueous Transmission - Also a winner if you've not already heard it 😁

[@douglasmijangos3327]

“To obtain a bird’s eye is to turn a blizzard to a breeze” 🔥 🦅 rise above all the bullshit and free yourself ❤

[@maddo7192]

Mike Einziger, the guitarist of Incubus, was also involved in the production of several pop songs as well.

[@real_yomchi]

Also played on Hans Zimmer - Live in Prague. Absolutely amazing performance, would highly recommend!

[@Step2me141]

Avicii wake me up!

[@BeeMcDee]

Liking this simply because it’s Incubus. Thank you for this!

[@adamhenton6221]

Great track to get started to!

[@wanik4]

How you can have a quarter of a million subscribers and so few views in 10 days makes me sad. You deserve the algorithm! Love, happy, vibes.

[@pocketlint421]

The song still holds up today, and sounds fantastic. Thanks for reviewing.

[@TheQuietComprehending]

Woohoo! My favorite drummer Jose Pasillas. He has got the vibe that I do so enjoy.

[@Syzygy77]

I remember getting a ride from my dad to Circuit City so I could buy this album. I used to fall asleep listening to Aqueous Transmission on a regular basis.

[@NotRKelly.]

Thank you Geebz

[@zmarko]

This whole damn album is insanely good. It's a great sit on the deck and watch the world go by full listen start to finish type album. Every track is incredible, and it wraps up so perfectly with Aqueous Transmission. **chef's kiss**

[@maynarddrivesfast804]

I'm 42 and have been an Incubus fan since '99. Me and my bandmates actually got to hang out backstage and smoke with them back in 2000. They were introducing some of the songs off what would become "Morningview", and they just killed it. In fact, I've seen them live at least 10 times and they're one of the few bands that can sound exactly like their recordings. My 5 and 7 yr old daughters have become fans and Aqueous Transmission" or as they call it, "the frog song" is their favorite.

[@Brotha_Teresa]

The vibe of Incubus’ music was then and is still unmatched.

[@Dougmolls]

Legends. Total legends.

[@adrianmicu7552]

The DJ is still part of the band! Also, you should really do more of em, they're a goldmine!

[@jbasti227]

This masterpiece of an album still holds up VERY well

[@CrappycrapCrappy]

It's a biggg biggg statement to say Incubus is probably among the top 5 best rock/alternative bands to ever exist but it's damn TRUE

[@wolfhawk1999]

The pre-chorus to this is just one of the most beautiful things ever. I could listen to a whole song of that. Not sure what the progression is, but it's so bittersweet it's perfect

[@austinmclane7761]

Geebz has a unique talent of making me hear songs I hold dear in my heart with a newfound joy and nuance that only ever broadens and nourishes my world view as a whole. Thank you, Geebz. Sincerely and wholly, thank you.

[@iliketrains3495]

Their DJ is still in the band but A Crow Left of the Murder is their last album to prominently feature turntables, since then he's mostly played keyboards, although occasionally plays some unorthodox instruments such as the marxophone.

[@CarlosLiberated]

And the theremin!

[@iliketrains3495]

@@CarlosLiberated what songs of theirs have a notable theremin in? I've seen 'theremin' in some of the Personnel sections on Wikipedia but can't recal la song with one in

[@CarlosLiberated]

@@iliketrains3495 I've seen him play one live - can't recall the song.

[@LudusAurea]

Incubus was pretty big in the early 2000s but yea I think they probably are gaining popularity.

[@prodNieva]

one of my favourite albums of all history

[@marclhoste501]

Lots of great songs on this album, you'll love "Just a phase" for the ambience!!

[@hapyharyhard0n581]

every single one of these guys are super amazing at what they do. great live. one of the best groups of our generation.

[@Wavedboat]

It’s so ironic that whatever I’m actively listening to, he reacts to 😅

[@VintageParkingTV]

The snare drum sound really captures the reverb of the large room in the Morning View house they recorded in. The house is a significant character in this album for sure - it's in the title I suppose. LOL

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

I'm excited to see you doing this! I think this band was responsible for my first Awakening when I was just a wee sapling. Their first bassist tried to find me a ride home after a show in downtown Detroit. I was only 15. Super cool guys.

[@MrGreendayzed]

haven't done incubus in that long yet i suggested them every week for a number of years, hmmm.

[@blknman]

Great summary!

[@thebeardedironman]

This was like reconnecting with a good friend I haven't seen in months. Glad to have you back Geebz, and I still love to share the music with you and see your reaction. REALLY hope there's more of these reactions coming soon!!!!

[@cdawg3]

Dude! You just made my day. I smiled so much when I saw you doing Incubus again! Thanks for being the man

[@mjnation7876]

I recently saw them live. They were great. Nice To Know You is definitely a top 5 Incubus song for me. Morning View is probably my favorite album from them with Science maybe being my 2nd favorite.

[@sarahpope8658]

Love Incubus! Been in my top 5 for almost 30 years. That bass....

[@wurfel26]

English isn't my language, so i'll try my best here. Morning View is such a beautiful album ♥. Everything about it's perfect, imo. There´s a song for every mood. I love the way they present songs with totally opposite styles, like "Under My Umbrella" immediately followed by "Aqueous Transmission"

[@dunerino892]

Ah,yes Incubus! loved their album "science" a lot! Give "summer romance" a try !👍

[@poker_dealer]

As I call you on the tin can phone…

Please do more Incubus. One of the best alternative bands. For something different, try one of the following. New skin, Clean, Blood on the ground, Pistola, Pendulous threads, Let's go crazy. The list is endless

[@Joker3515]

This is their best album by far

[@seanhutt4621]

I think make yourself is slightly better but they are both fantastic

[@mr.steinhaus6014]

The quintessential summer album. I was 20 and in college when this came out and this was the soundtrack of the best years of my life!

[@PufferFishX]

For real: This is one of those amazing albums I want to listen to front-to-back whenever I think about it

[@lesliemadariaga8207]

Aqueous transmission ❤ is the most beautiful song and one of the best things of this band is that every song is different . You never get bored ! Pick one for every mood ! 🎉❤

[@cefhamster]

Love this song and album. Not a giant incubus fan, but something about this specific album has a certain vibe that I can’t resist. The story behind the writing process is cool too. The band rented a Malibu beach house, did a ton of drugs, surfed a bunch, and voila! One of the better rock albums of the early 00s.

[@netomdam]

It also gives me chills every time

[@acosmicsimian5571]

By far my favorite Incubus album.

[@cdawg3]

I genuinely love how much respect you give this band. Every time you listen to them, your so into it!

[@JaySay]

Always great to hear Incubus on the channel! I don't come around to them too often in my collection, but they give me such a nostalgic feeling of middle school when I do. It was the first time I got into them, and it brings up so many great memories of the past. They've absolutely perfected the "ethereal" feeling soundscapes, and the lyrics and vocals are top class, too. Love it, Geebz! Incubus is such a feel good band to listen to; they're perfect for a road trip vacay, or just to enjoy a bright sunny day at the beach, park, etc... Thanks for all you do, Geebz! I'm still here, and keep on rocking!🤘🤙

[@sallyschildcare]

This album has a place in my heart after getting me through the spring/,summer of 2002 when i was in hospital after an RTA. Was lucky enough to hear a big chunk of it at The Royal Albert Hall last year too. Xxx

[@claydickson7408]

Geebz thankyou so so much for coming back!!!! I have missed you.

[@tristanedwards7302]

The drums on this track are so good

[@Eric998765]

Classic track. This album and one the before it were early 00s masterpieces. I saw them once live at a festival, I was probably only 13 or 14 and they were the headliner. They debuted a different song from this album at that show. I don't really like much of their work after this album but they are definitely rock history and I love revisiting from time to time

[@masisam]

Agree, weird how they transformed into sounding like a boy band there after

[@cdawg3]

😂😂 boy band. C mon dude. Either you haven’t listened to much of them since or you dislike the few songs you heard. But boy band is harsh. The have written heavy bangers since those two albums. A shit ton

[@masisam]

@@cdawg3 If I disliked the few songs I have heard since MV, I surely must have also not listened to them much if they do indeed have some heavy songs!? ;) There has always been a fine line for me regarding vocal styles where I felt it crossed a line toward sounding like something a 90’s boyband would produce; acoustic Make Yourself album sessions for example -but hey it’s just my opinion no offence intended. Maybe you are right however - I will delve deeper and check out some other albums I am less familiar.

[@cdawg3]

@@masisam the singer isn’t for everyone, thats for sure. SCIENCE seems like the anomaly now that I look back. With that said. Its been my favorite album of theirs for years. Give “a crow left of the murder” album a try!

I wish people would re-visit this band! It is an way underrated band. Had their time but now mostly forgotten. I think if the kids today got a chance to hear this they would love it! Also Elliott Smith needs to be shared by everyone to everyone! He's like the Jim Morrison of the 90's.

This song is about Brandon Boyd's finger falling asleep and him wondering if he'd ever get the feeling back. "Pins and needles..."

[@TheScorpio1999]

This album brings back memories from college! I remember when this came out and winter was setting in and I'd be at the computer, dinosaur of a rig that thing was; listening to this CD, and it was just a special time. I really like the guitar work on this album, the chord progression, and the more somber tone than "Make Yourself" had. I only found out recently watching an interview with Brandon Boyd that "Wish You Were Here" is not as happy a song as the melody makes it out to be.

Great song and good to hear you go back through your list. I haven't watched for a while because the bands have all been ones I don't know and I've got no idea if they'd be my scene or not so hasn't felt worth the click. I'd probably be clicking more if there were more bands I was familiar with alongside some I didn't. Just my view, but wanted to be straight with you.

[@milios1585]

To hear their true genius, I implore you to listen to the album S.C.I.E.N.C.E. It's not as "socially popular,," but it shows why Incubus became famous, and is a complete change up from this album. Definitely worth the listen on it's own.

[@reneelyons6836]

Great reaction

[@dan12con]

Check out Time-Lapse Consortium … it’s a sort of Incubus side project that’s more jazz/funk.

[@BioFocher]

[@Kilmarro]

Make Yourself was a very important album and i heard it when I think I really needed to, but I feel like its not a stretch at all for me to say that, personally, Morningview is my favourite Incubus album only a slightly bigger stretch to say that its flat-out their best work, in an objective sense.
