As for Incubus, this band is probably the most glaring example of all time of a band changing their sound. Every single album has been different from every single other previous album.
Maybe true for 'pop' music.. but there is much more music out there that isn't on the radio.
Listen to the first minute of these songs, which are off 7 albums consecutive albums, about 2001-2014. Course, if you have time, listen to the whole songs
This is what I call completely different. Incubus's sound did not that have this drastic of a change.. not even close.

Now, this band can have a range of sounds like this on one album.. but overall, their first 4 (not included in this list) albums all have a similar sound which is their beginnings.
Then, each new album really had it's own distinct, and very different, sound. #1 here shows their heavy mixed with acoustic and clean, #2 here is all chill 70s sounding prog clean rock. #3 gets about as heavy as they have been with very long songs, #4 got very progressive and complicated with open tunings and lots of keys, with chill stuff and heavy, #5 is a very eclectic mix of 70s sounding rock with a hint of very heavy and very easy listening, #6 changes direction completely with a jazzy-prog 70s sound and no more metal elements at all, and last one follows that idea but is a new approach altogether, with concentration on songwriting.
