Crow was a huge step down from their first three albums. Light Grenades had some good tracks but still didn't measure up. They haven't been the same since Morning View.
Incubus is a great band despite not making a great record in ages but they can't "hold a light" to Thrice.
My morning takes: Re: Thrice covers - I'm surprised no one has mentioned Architects' cover of Of Dust and Nations yet. I'm not a huge fan of the band, but it's a surprisingly good cover for a pretty straight take on the song: Re: Incubus Gimme this Incubus over anything Brandon Boyd led any day, homies.
SCIENCE is fantastic, Make Yourself is good and Morning View is fantastic. Those are great takes. The rest of their discography has some great songs but overall.....
Agreed, it takes a toll from people bashing those amazing songs, and the great covers of those songs.
Crow is easily their best album. Morning View would be better if Brandon would shut the fuck up for even one second of that album. Dude never stops singing on that one.
I remember even when it came out, Crow is divisive among fans so this makes sense. You made me actually lol at work about Morning View I still love it.
This. Crow and Light Grenades had some good jams but can’t touch the previous stuff. Everything after Crow/Grenades was just a huge disappointment.
It's very good, but it always annoyed me that he just sings over everything on that album. Crow is definitely divisive, but I love it, probably followed by Make Yourself then Morning View. SCIENCE used to be my jam, but it sounds so dated now (and things like "stand around 'til 2012AD" are just hilarious)
