The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I would recommend Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, Some Girls, Beggar’s Banquet, and Let It Bleed. Those all speak to their album crafting that I believe goes beyond just a collection of singles. Also when they were most challenging themselves without going off the deep end completely.
Yes. I really like Exile and Let It Bleed myself. Great albums.
I did some advance research a few years ago to figure out what their best years were. Since I still don’t rely on a streaming service and work off word of mouth (and internet to a lesser extent), these seemed like the way to go and I definitely was impressed.

Incubus’s Morning View is a beautifully realized musical vision with a sound and feel unlike anything else. I remember Devin Townsend saying that when he made his album Physicist, his goal was to make a metal album without any anger or aggression. While it’s not metal, I think Morning View accomplishes something similar (with a few exceptions; there’s a little venom in “Circles” and “Blood on the Ground”). Like, “Wish You Were Here” is a hooky rock song with loud, hard guitars, but there isn’t an ounce of aggression anywhere in it. Just pure warmth, happiness, joy. It’s airy and light and breezy. I wish there were more music like this.

I haven't heard the album, but their songs played on the radio always make the same impression on me. I'm glad to agree with you, LoathedVermin72 .
