Our Take

11 tracks of pure sonic shenanigans, INCUBUS Light Grenades explodes onto the scene like a musical firework display. Drenched in the signature angst and melodrama that we've come to expect from these Cali rockers, this album is a veritable mixed bag of genres and emotions.

Lead singer Brandon Boyd's vocals soar and swirl like a demented albatross on tracks like "Anna Molly" and "Dig", while tracks such as "Love Hurts" and "Oil and Water" offer a more introspective and brooding tone. The guitar work is tight and razor-sharp, courtesy of Mike Einziger, who manages to inject a healthy dose of funk and groove into the mix.

Lyrically, the band delves into familiar territory - love, loss, and everything in between. The production is slick and polished, with each track sounding like a mini epic in its own right.

However, the album does suffer from a lack of cohesion at times, with some tracks feeling like they were tacked on as an afterthought. The band's experimental tendencies are on full display here, with varying degrees of success.

In conclusion, Light Grenades is a rollercoaster ride of an album that will leave you breathless yet slightly confused. INCUBUS fans will no doubt find something to love here, but for the uninitiated, this may be a dizzying, albeit enjoyable, introduction to the band's oeuvre. Get ready to have your musical boundaries well and truly grenaded.
