It makes sense that this album was recorded in Malibu of all places if Incubus sounded any more blissed, they’d already be on a commune. For every heavy-handed cut and chorus, there is a mellowed-out exhale neither sonic pole overpowers the other. But there is an intentional push-pull effect on Morning View. (Sidebar: I caught Incubus’ Make Yourself anniversary tour in 2019, and I’m pleased to assure you, Boyd can still wail.) “Under My Umbrella” and “Blood On The Ground” go as hard as anything on their 1997 major-label debut S.C.I.E.N.C.E. Opener and single “Nice To Know You” clicks right into gear with a charging chorus perfectly suited to Boyd’s howl. Like its predecessors, Morning View has sharp edges. Renting a house in Malibu near where they grew up in Calabasas, the band hunkered down and spent the next six months pushing the limits of their sound. But Brandon Boyd, guitarist Mike Einziger, bassist Dirk Lance, drummer Jose Pasillas, and turntable artist Chris Kilmore, pivoted ever so slightly. A less-experienced band (Incubus actually formed 10 years before Morning View came out) might have caved to the pressure and simply spat out another Make Yourself. After Make Yourself, mainstream outlets like MTV were watching and listening, poised to pounce on the next hit.

1999’s Make Yourself, home to the aforementioned “Drive” plus “Stellar” and “Pardon Me,” went double platinum in the US, setting the stage for an equally successful follow-up. I should know - I was one of them.īut back to those critics for a moment: There was a tendency to want to dismiss Incubus as being the equivalent of a blacklight poster in your brother’s dorm room, a Doors cover band fronted by a poor man’s Jim Morrison, the musical version of a one-hitter pipe. Sure, Incubus’ earliest work went Deftones-hard, but then you also had acoustic, mid-tempo ballads like “Drive” and a gentle, oft-shirtless lead singer, and, welp, now the pop kids who loved *NSYNC and Britney could rock out a little too. Incubus were not quite as easy to categorize, though goodness knows promoters tried, frequently dumping them in the nu-metal bucket on the festival circuit. The Strokes were only juuuust getting around to putting their nonchalant, retrofied spin on the genre, and for the six-ish years prior, a successful radio rock band was probably going to be lumped in with Korn, Disturbed, Limp Bizkit, Drowning Pool, and the rest of the Ozzfest lineup. As has been unendingly discussed, especially now with all of these other era-adjacent anniversaries, rock music was a tricky subject in the late ’90s and early 2000s.
I wasn't expecting a whole lot from this to be honest based on the first film, but this delivers exactly what you would expect from a team of anti-heroes, it's funny, entertaining and aimed at a mature audience, and for me it's an 8/10.With two decades of hindsight, it’s kind of funny to notice how at war with themselves music critics seemed regarding Incubus, especially by the time the unapologetically SoCal troupe released their fourth studio album, Morning View. Some of the scenes between John Cena and Idris Elba were hilarious, as well as the lines from King Shark. This reboot blends humour and seriousness perfectly. I felt the first Suicide Squad was bordering too much pretty humour and seriousness and wasn't sure what it was.

The movie is filled with funny one liners and never takes itself too seriously. She is to Harley what Heath Ledger was to the joker. The film is filled with a great cast who all do a terrific job, especially Margot Robbie, I couldn't see anyone else doing the role of Harley Quinn. To me, this was basically like an Avengers movie aimed at adults with violence, gore and swearing. I feel like the film makers took on criticism from the first movie and put improvements into this.
I don't care how many men, women, and children I need to kill to get it." The first thing that came to mind in the opening sequences of the film was wow there is a lot of gore, especially compared to the first film.
