It's not easy to describe a band when they don't fall into simple categories.
Incubus has always been that way for me. From their debut EP, "Enjoy Incubus" to their last, and most disappointing album, "A Crow Left of The Murder," the band has wandered through a number of genres - nu metal, funk, punk, pop rock, etc.
When I first heard the band back in 1997 with their debut EP, I was instantly blown away. They combined forces of music through various genres and knocked the doors off everything a music fan was familiar with.
They continued getting better from there, but slowly started a decline after the release of 2001's "Morning View."
"A Crow" failed to hit the right notes or create anything memorable.
Unfortunately, "Light Grenades" is following suit.
While it's a step up from "A Crow," it doesn't quite match the magic of their earlier albums.
The first single, "Anna-Molly," aims for commercial success, but the silly name takes away from its bite.
There are some highlights on the album, but I expected more from a band that has given so much.
