  1. Even at their most acerbic or delicately downplayed extremes, Incubus are compelling. [#184, p.137]

    It's not quite as thrillingly risky as the Deftones' White Pony, but it deserves the collegiate adulation it will likely receive. [Oct/Nov 2001, p.107]
  3. There is very little here that makes any sort of meaningful connection. [Dec 2001, p.85]
  4. Inevitably, all the shifts in tempo, mood and lyrical slant ultimately hurt Morning View more than they help.

    I sometimes get some of the songs from this record confused with Make Yourself. Understandably, they have the feeling and tone, making this album more pivotal in their career. I would give Make Yourself a 10 out of 10 because it came first and has some of the best rock songs you'll ever hear. This feels like a rehash of those ideas which doesn't make this a failure, but an above average album. Aquarius Transmission is kind of a departure of their sound and is just a beautiful song. Expand

    I used to love Incubus. Then they got popular, cut their hair, and began making albums like this. And so I was forced to sell all their records and cut off another link to my youth. Bastards. Expand
