Los Angeles, United States
Currently on hiatus (In June 2008, frontman Brandon Boyd told Billboard.com that Incubus will take a break from touring and recording while its members concentrate on school, family and other activities)
There are multiple artists with this name:
1) Incubus is a five-man alternative rock band based out of Calabasas, California. Members include Brandon Boyd (vocals and percussion), Mike Einziger (guitar), Ben Kenney (bass), Jose Pasillas II (drums) and DJ Chris Kilmore (turntables). Former members of the band include Gavin Koppel (a.k.a. DJ Lyfe) (turntables) and Alex Katunich (a.k.a. Dirk Lance) (bass). The band’s name may seem a peculiar choice to fans, as an incubus is a type of demon that, in mythological lore, lured women to bed and impregnated them.(not true. an Incubus is a demon that comes in the night and has sex with women while they are sleeping, it seduces them in their dreams.) The story behind the name is that the band needed to think of a name hours before their first show and, after a few failed choices, Mike looked in a dictionary and chose “Incubus” almost at random. Mike says that the name was chosen because it sounded silly; Brandon holds that it was chosen because they were teenagers and the definition had the word “sex” in it. “We really didn’t want to rape women in their sleep. But, we were fifteen and it seemed harmless to us then, and we never changed it,” says the band. Incubus has also tried to cover their tracks by stating that they got the name from a plant in South America that produces mind-altering chemicals. However, the fabled Incubus plant does not actually exist.

You're all daft, ACLOTM is a fantastic album and LG is amazing as well! They're undoubtedly progressing their sound. And I mean shit, aren't they in their 30s now? It's a shame 'Punch Drunk' didn't make it to the LG album, though.

You have a point robbird, i mean LG is great, its just really kinda slow for me though. & Rogues & anna molly have to be my favorites on that album! I LOVE ACLOTM!! Its really growing on me! especially Southern girl & leech. ohh and CatalystDM-Just a phase would be kick-ass if it was at the beginning!

What's the problem with LG? i really love it especially rogues and anna molly ACLOTM is great i must admit but it is a bit all of the same but still good morning view is just awesome S.C.I.E.N.C.E and Make Yourself are bit heavier what make them great as well only there is a little bit more killmore in S.C.I.E.N.C.E and little bit more Jose on MY and Fungus Amongus, Psychosilpsabin (or something like that) is great and some other song are as well but it's not really that good in my opinion, but still they have to start with something, right?

I loved ACLOTM when it came out. It was fresh, and different. I totally got caught up :)

I always start Morning View at Track 4 and don't look back. If it started with Just A Phase, it would be way better.

People HATED ACLOTM when it first came out. But compared to Light Grenades, it's gold.

My list would have to be "Make Yourself">"Morning View">"ACLOTM">"S.C.I.E.N.C.E">"Fungus Amongus">"Light Grenades" Sadly I was a bit dissapointed with the last album "LG". Some really great songs but some not so great ones ass well. And i see "almost" everyone has LG as last or second to last. So i guess I'm not the only one there.

Morning View > ACLOTM > Make Yourself > S.C.I.E.N.C.E. > Light Grenades > Fungus Amongus. I wouldn't say that any of them are bad, though. MV and ACLOTM could both possibly be in my top 5 albums ever. MV is probably my favorite album of all time.
