Aug 8, 2019LOVE this album. Great mix of funk, rock and easy listening melodies. Never gets old.

Mar 10, 2015One of the most underrated bands of the decade. A unique sound. It may have confused some of the fans, and critics may not have praised it as much as they had to because the genre was worn out by the time, but this could be considered their masterpiece.

Sep 17, 2013Easily Incubus' most puzzling album to date, as it seems they were really struggling to find an identity throughout. Just as soon as you thought the band was changing its sound, the self-titled "Light Grenades" comes on and blasts the listener back to 1999. While this is normally used in a negative context, I have to admit the confusion added an endearing quality and makes for quite a ride.

Jun 29, 2012Fore sure their best album since Make Yourself. Not that A Crow Left Of The Murder & Morning View were bad because they absolutely were not. Especially Morning View. It's just Light Grenades simply put has stronger tracks. An i would go as far to say that Anna Molly is their best song maybe ever.

Sep 20, 2011I feel the same way about this album and A Crow Left of the Murder... Uneven, some good songs, and the lyrics have taken a hit.

LUKEB.Aug 13, 2008Another great cd by a great band, vocals are as good as ever. A new sound that needs a bit of time to grow on you, and when it does you will love "Anna Molly". well done.

MikeP.Mar 5, 2008Love this album and love Incubus - not a fan of ACLOTM so this is a return to form apart from Diamonds and Coal - it sucks. Amazing live and love the fact that they can do mellow and rock - but for me more rock would be good.

billgDec 17, 2007Everybody deserves a chance, sounds like some of the lyrics they write, well i do believe in that ol' saying, so they get one point. Trite and useless material otherwise. They are how old, writing music that speaks to people how old?

MallikPoP.Sep 8, 2007Each song is distinct from another while the album manages to weave together as a whole. Listen to it from front to back and listen to it again and really listen, don't just hear it! It got me addicted.

JKJan 24, 2007After the release of their two most progressive, edgy, and straight up best works (ACLOTM and The Odyssey), Incubus releases their most banal, poppy, boring record to date. They've apparently given up on channeling Bungle or Primus and are now content with channeling The All-American Rejects. These guys have great chops and they

DarshanVJan 16, 2007The album absolutely rocks!!! No Doubt about it... Kiss to send us off is hypnotic and racy. Oil and Water, Diamonds and Coal, Dig, Love Hurts are too melodious... Pendulous Threads and Earth to Bella are fantastic... Kudos!! Incubus.. for your metamorphosis. Nu-Metal is a passe now... Good that u dumped!! Waiting for your next installment in bated breath!!

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

"Light Grenades" refines the band's attack modes: melodic and muscular, gentle and intense.

The New York TimesThe music’s intricacies become less impressive when so many of them are directly lifted from far better songs. [27 Nov 2006]
