===''Morning View'' (2001–2002)===
The band took a break during the first part of 2001 before heading to a beachside mansion in [[Malibu, California]], to record their follow-up album, which would later become known as ''[[Morning View]]''.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20011122162746/http://chartattack.com/DAMN/2001/10/2301.cfm "CD REVIEWS: Bush, Headstones, Incubus, Rheostatics and many more"]}}.

They began touring once more with [[Hundred Reasons]] in Europe from June until the first week of July. At this time, the band was invited to play with the Area 1 Festival, which featured [[Moby]], [[Outkast]], [[the Roots]], [[Paul Oakenfold]], [[Carl Cox]], and [[Nelly Furtado]]. Also, in July, ''Make Yourself'' was certified double-platinum, selling 2 million copies. In August, the band got to play their first shows in Australia and Japan, before returning to the United States to begin their headlining tour with their long-time friends from California, [[Hoobastank]]. Meanwhile, the band's video for "Drive" was nominated for an [[MTV Video Music Award]] in the category of Best Group Video.

Continuing to tour, Incubus released their first single, "[[Wish You Were Here (Incubus song)|Wish You Were Here]]", from their upcoming record, ''Morning View'', on August 21, 2001. The single instantly began to climb up the [[Modern Rock|Alternative]] charts, reaching No. 2 by early September. The music video was released at the end of that month, after being re-cut to make it more viewable in the wake of the [[9/11]] disaster. The video earned viewings on MTV's TRL, [[VH1]], and [[MuchMusic]]. Their follow-up single was "[[Nice to Know You]]".

On October 23, 2001, the band released their fourth full-length major label album. The name was taken from the street on which the band's recording studio was situated. Incubus continued to headline dates after its release, and "Wish You Were Here" continued to sit among the top 10 on ''Billboard''{{'}}s Alternative charts. ''Morning View'' debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at the No. 2 spot (266,000 copies were sold in its first week). This was the highest ever placement for Incubus. At the same time, "Wish You Were Here" was at No. 2 on the Alternative Charts, and "Drive" sat at No. 48 on the Hot 100 chart. The band won an award for Billboard's Alternative Single of the Year for "Drive". By December, ''Morning View'' was certified platinum, "Wish You Were Here" was No. 4 on Alternative charts, and ''Morning View'' was No. 38 on top 200.

On December 11, Incubus released ''When Incubus Attacks (Vol. 2)'', a [[DVD-Video]] that featured music videos for "Take Me to Your Leader", "A Certain Shade of Green", "Pardon Me", "Stellar", "Drive", "I Miss You", and "Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song)", live footage, backstage video, and more. Director Bill Draheim documented the making of "Drive". Save Me from my Half-Life Drive is the result of that edited EPK footage.

To begin 2002, Incubus was No. 9 with "Drive", No. 12 with "Stellar", No.  20 with "Wish You Were Here", No. 75 with "Nice to Know You" and No. 31 with the album ''Morning View''. On January 24, 2002, MTV's TRL premiered the "Nice to Know You" video, and Boyd called in from Europe where the band was on tour with [[311 (band)|311]] and [[Hoobastank]]. The band was then featured on MTV's ''Becoming'', TRL, ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'', and played the ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]'' on February 14, 2002, all before heading off to play dates in Japan and Australia for the remainder of February and March. While in Sydney, the band shot the video for their next single, "Warning", from March 7 until March 11.
The band then released the DVD ''[[The Morning View Sessions]]'' on May 28, shortly before playing the Weenie Roast on June 8 for KROQ.

Incubus issued a limited-edition version of ''Morning View'' on October 1 to coincide with their fall headlining tour. The new version of the album contained a DVD dubbed the "Morning After View Session". It featured the UK video for the group's track "Are You In?", tour footage, new artwork, behind-the-scenes material, and more. Incubus's last performance in 2002 (on November 1) brought several eras for the band to a close. Their last show of the tour would be their last show touring behind 2001's ''Morning View'', as the band looked on to playing new music. The show would also prove to be their last with bass player Dirk Lance, who left the band due to personal differences.

Lance was quietly replaced by former the Roots guitarist [[Ben Kenney]], who began working with Einziger on new songs for a psychedelic jazz-funk project called [[Time-Lapse Consortium]]. Incubus ended the year on the charts, having "Wish You Were Here" (No. 10), "Warning" (No. 16), and "Nice to Know You" (No. 26) on the alternative rock format chart, joining "Wish You Were Here" (No. 25) and "Nice to Know You" (No. 36). ''Morning View'' was the 40th-best-selling album of 2002.
