Review
Alright, buckle up, rock enthusiasts! Incubus dropped their sixth studio album 'Light Grenades' back in 2006, and let me tell you, it's a wild ride. This bad boy hit the Billboard 200 at numero uno, selling a whopping 165,000 copies in its first week. Talk about making an entrance!
Now, let's dive into the music. Guitarist Mike Einziger wasn't kidding when he said this album sounds like 13 different bands playing 13 different songs. It's like Incubus decided to throw a musical party and invited every genre they could think of. They even got creative with their recording techniques - I'm talking about using their own bodies as percussion instruments on 'Paper Shoes'. How's that for thinking outside the box?
Critics were all over the place with this one, but most gave it a thumbs up. Some praised Incubus for growing up and getting all mature on us, while others thought they were still trying to figure out who they were. Jenny Eliscu from Rolling Stone even compared some tracks to the Red Hot Chili Peppers - spicy! Love it or hate it, you can't deny that 'Light Grenades' shows Incubus isn't afraid to shake things up and keep us guessing. It's like they took their sound, tossed it in a blender, and served up something totally unexpected. - Tessa
