Morning View by Incubus
Morning View is an album by Incubus, released in 2001. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 67 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Nice to Know You”, on 33 lists with a best position of #3.
Morning View, Incubus's fourth album, came out on Epic and Immortal on October 23, 2001, and it's the sound of a band that keeps edging further from nu metal and doesn't look back. Scott Litt produced it, and the songs swing from soft and dreamy to hard and heavy, all within the broad tent of alternative rock.
Mike Einziger's guitar glows and grinds by turns, José Pasillas and bassist Dirk Lance keep the grooves loose and rolling, and Chris Kilmore's turntables add swirls of texture. "Nice to Know You" hits with a burst of bruising, jagged energy, "Wish You Were Here" floats on a lazy, sun-soaked calm, "Warning" builds into something warm and hopeful, and "Are You In?" slinks along on a funky, laid-back groove. It was the last album with Lance on bass.
It won broad praise from critics and went double platinum, the band's best seller. A companion DVD, The Morning View Sessions, followed on May 29, 2002, and on May 10, 2024 the band released a re-recorded version, Morning View XXIII, with new bassist Nicole Row.
