Recent Albums: Incubus - Light Grenades
Incubus' most recent album, Light Grenades, sounds like 13 different bands, preforming 13 different songs (Not unlike previous ones). This makes it hard to give the album any overall rating, because each song is so different.

"Quicksand" – 2:14

This song really feels all wrong to me. Not unlike Incubus, it sounds way more techno than Alt. Rock. However, I am a huge tehcno and electronic music fan, so this really isn't so bad.

6.5 stars out of 10

"A Kiss to Send Us Off" – 4:16

7 out of 10

"Dig" – 4:17

Soft, yet a very good riff.

7.5 out of 10

"Anna Molly" – 3:46

Good sounding chorus, the riff is pretty cool and I like the lyrics.

8 out of 10

"Love Hurts" – 3:57

One of the albums strong points, in my opinion. Lyrics are cool, true and easy to remember (for those of you who like to sing along). The riff is less evident in this song, but still a strong point. Finally, the chorus is extremely memorable, and I hope they continue to play this live in concert long after they release a new album.

"Light Grenades" – 2:20

Finally, the album highlight! While certainly not worthy of naming a whole album after, this is a fairly good song to rock out to!

6.5 out of 10

"Earth to Bella (Part I)" – 2:28

Let's just get this one out of the way... I HATE IT! I have a certain disgust of cheesy love ballads that prevents me from liking this song.

"Diamonds and Coal" – 3:46

6.5 out of 10

"Rogues" – 3:56

7.9 out of 10

"Paper Shoes" – 4:17

There is a certain part in this song that I like. Unfortunatly, it just takes WAY to long to get to it.

"Pendulous Threads" – 5:35

7.5 our of 10

"Earth to Bella (Part II)" – 2:58

While better than it's counterpart, I still hate it.

Moderate Rock

Final Word:

A decent album worthy of attention from Incubus fans, otherwise. It will probally attract some new fans as well
