A long-awaited break from an aggressive touring cycle afforded
Incubusthe freedom to hone a set of material that fully realized
the band's ever-developing musical vision. Light years from the
novelty turntable scratching and rap-rock angst that marked their
earlier works, LIGHT GRENADESis an arty and diverse affair. The
bass-heavy prog leanings of 2004's A CROW LEFT OF THE MURDERare
replaced by a much more meat-and-potatoes rock approach that has
become quintessential Incubus. The album opens with "Quicksand" and
sets a crouching-to-pounce tone, only to launch into the bombastic
riffing of "A Kiss To Send Us Off." Leadoff single "Anna Molly"
drives with tension and urgency, while the group channels Prince on
"Diamonds And Coal." LIGHT GRENADESoffers up a fair number of
ballads, standouts being "Love Hurts" and "Dig." In the interests
of dramatic extremes, the fiercely punky title track works
climactically, while the two parts of "Earth To Bella" act as a
midpoint and denouement for a solid effort.
