S.C.I.E.N.C.E
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is an Enhanced CD album by the rock band Incubus, released on September 9 1997. It includes an official video. The album has sold 740,000 copies in the US to date.
The album, Incubus' second, contains some of the band's heavier work, and is considered by many fans to be the original definition of their sound but shows the bands search for an ambient sound and higher sound quality which is found in many their later albums. It is a fusion of their various influences and is characteristic of their experimental tendencies. On songs like "Deep Inside" and "Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song)" show Jazz influences. Much more mainstream-sounding than their first album, Fungus Amongus, it was not indicative of their slower-tempoed follow-up, Make Yourself, which is referred to in many reviews as having been the band's peak in terms of performance.

Morning view
Morning View is the fourth album by alternative rock band Incubus. It is the last Incubus album to feature bassist Alex Katunich. It was recorded in Malibu, California and released on October 23, 2001 by Incubus. "Morning View Drive" is the name of a street in Malibu where the band lived temporarily and recorded the album.It has a sound that is overall softer than previous albums by the band, especially apparent on songs such as "Echo" and "Are You In?", although due to Incubus' varied influences, there had been examples of softer songs on previous albums, such as "Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song)" from S.C.I.E.N.C.E.. Songs such as "Just a Phase" display more original song structures.
The final song, "Aqueous Transmission", is unlike anything else the band had attempted, employing the use of Chinese instruments such as the Pipa. The song is 7 minutes and 46 seconds long, with the last minute consisting of frogs croaking outside the studio in Malibu. Lead vocalist Brandon Boyd says that the purpose of the song was to make "the listener pee in his/her pants" from relaxation.
