    Equally adept at rave-ups and ballads, Incubus even make their unexpected forays into space-rock work. [1 Dec 2006, p.82]

    On Light Grenades, they are a tightly focused, purposeful band, shifting moods and textures at the drop of a dime, proving that they have become a rare thing: a modern heavy rock band that actually grows and improves with each album.

    The tearjerkers flow free on their sixth studio album. [Jan/Feb 2007, p.88]

    I was not a fan of ACLOTM I am however a huge incubus fan and I continue to be disappointed with their output over the past few years. Personally I wish they would bring back Dirk Lance on bass, I know by all accounts the guy was a jerk, but he seemed to bring an attitude or a swagger to the band that has been sorely lacking since Morning View. This album seems to be Incubus' most non-descript output to date, it's not good, but it's not bad either, it doesn't rock, but it doesn't suck. It feels like the band has been settling for mediocrity since 2003 rather than the funky juiced up metal that made them great on Enjoy Incubus, Fungus Amongus, S.C.I.E.N.C.E., Make Yourself, and yes even a little on Morning View. Snap out of it guys! You're becoming the very music you used to preach against in your lyrics: "We've painted a picture, now we're drowning in the paint. Let's figure out what the %&*# it's about, before the picture we painted chews us up and spits us out." -Redefine (S.C.I.E.N.C.E)… Expand
