I think this album took them to a higher level of amazing sounds, melodies, lyrics, and imagination. This whole album has a sort of high, euphoric feeling. Quicksand and kiss to send us off are perfect for the intro. I don't have a favorite song cuz they're all my favorite. Rogues is at the top of my list though.

Icubus is a very intelligent band and this is
my favorit album ever.
My favorit band ever.

I love incubus. I'm a big fan. I love their style, arrangement and Brandon's voice! The things I've mentioned are like ingredients to an exotic food. They had a concert here in the Philippines but i never had an opportunity to watch them because my parents did not allow me to buy a ticket. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward for their next concert tour for Monuments and Melodies! )

Greetings from Southern Indiana.

I have been a fan since seventh grade. So...about seven years? Maybe...?
Sure. Sounds good to me.

I think Light Grenades is one of the reasons why I love Incubus so much. Like I said, I've been a fan for a long time. I have every album, every dvd, have every lyric memorized like the gospel, and so on.

Given that I've been a fan for such a long time, I'm comfortable with the fact that Incubus has progressed they way they have from Fungus Amongus to Light Grenades. To be honest, I don't think I would be so crazy about them if they ALWAYS did the same thing over and over and over again.

I think this new album is wonderful. I dig the way it flows from song to song. It's infused with songs like Rogues that have this raw, barbaric energy that makes me nostalgic and reminds me of why I fell in love with them in the first place.

Anyway, I think that everyone has their Desert Island Top Five All Time Favorite Albums list.
The ones that you listen to in your beat up Oldsmobile** at full volume with the windows rolled down so everyone who's stopped next to you at a stop light can hear it, whether they want to or not. This one is on my Desert Island list. Along with A Crow Left of the Murder.

I'm not disappointed at all. These guys are the only guys I know that have never let me down.
They always deliver.

**Note:: Yes I do drive an Oldsmobile. And for some reason it has a trailer hitch. What was the previous owner of my beloved Gretta the Olds trying to hitch? One can only imagine.

love this album

from closet cultivation to grenades i love it all
i really like how the style changes so much from album to album
you guys are great
much love

hello there tnx for accepting me ihr...........
incubus rules ...

First on the Album itself, my interpertation(and I am sure many others as well) is that it's telling a story of relationships, whether friends or soemthing more and all of the trials and tribulations that come with the aforementioned. It has ups and downs and twists and turns and I feel like it shows many different musical styles that these guys can dish out. Now for a track by track analysis we turn to Billy Mayes, the crazy bearded infomercial guy.......

1. Qucksand- To me this song is like the narrative at the beginning of a movie......alluding to what is to come.

2. A Kiss To Send Us Off-This song rocks, it makes me think of a personw ho sees a relationship or the potential for one with soemoen who might not see the same for whatever reason and jsut wants them to take the chance to see it or jump in with them before it is too latel......

3. Dig-A BEAUTIFUL song, no other way to describe it, one fo the greatest things about this band is that each song has a meaning that may be very specific for Brandon and the gang, but is vague enough for each listener to have their own interpertaion and feel right on. To me this is about a relationship with soemone who no matter what will be there for you through good times and bad, someone who can keep you grounded and never let you lose who you are, someone that no matter what will be at your side....when everything else is gone.

4. Anna Molly-This son is almost the exact opposite to the previous, the music is incredible and is highlyqa ddictive, but the message is depressing to me, it describes a girl (to me) that cannot be figured out no matter how hard you try and it feels very angst filled witht eh fact that there is almost nothing that can be done about this because you can not have controlover the other person and her anomolies.

5. Love Hurts-This song just makes me think of love in general and is dead on, it hurts a lot, but the good times make the risk worth the reward.

6. Light Grenades-Defintley a changeup in the style of the album, keeping with the theme of the album, I envision a fight ina relationship and someone stepping outside of the disagreement and looking in saying"Hey, let's be constructive about this, and think of ideas to resolve the issue as opposed to lashing out irrationally."/

7. Earth to Bella Pt. 1-Definitle seen as a cautionary tale to me, to those who settle on anything in life, ecspecially relationships, there are many who feel content and are not fearless enough to break away from whatever is holding them back and be afraid to sink so to speak to see what truly amkes them happy.

8. Oil and Water-I think this is an extension of the last song, someone realizing that they are not happy where they are and calling the relationship for what it is, two very different people who may not have a distate for each other, but do not have the foundation for something truly great.

9. Diamonds & Coal-Feels like an apology from someone who broke off a relationship, maybe even for dragging it out beyond what it should have been. The person would rather be alone then go throught he motions of what was happenign with sig. other.

10. Rogues-The only song that seems like it breaks away formt he theme a little, but I absolutley love it! Highly addictive, but I think it can even stick with the theme in that it is praising people that don't settle for whatever comes their way and strive for soemthing better. People welling to go outside of conventional wisbom and evolve into something enw and better.

11. Diamonds & Coal-I think this song jsut says plain and simple that just becaus eyou may fight with soemone doesn't mean they are not right for you, no relationship is perfect and if the fundamentals of love are there, then it is worth fighting for.

12. Pendulous Threads-This song in the beginning of it makes me think of someones thoughts swirling chaotically through theirm mind unable to be put into words, and then all of the sudden culminates into this song and comes out with the person sayin what they think needs to be said, which I think is make a decision stay put, or come see what you're capable of.

13. Earth to Bella Pt2-A reitteration fo the cautionary tale, almost as if the person is calling out knowing that it is to late for perosn in question, but the other person is still trying to show them the light.......very sad.

Well thats what I think about that...

-Brandon W.

Its a Book full with expression melodies, lyrics, freedom, life, love, .... and more
i just think that people must be true to themselves and never change what they think or want, and discover their purpose in this earth....
I believe each member of incubus has found that, and keeps adding things to their own list..
result
MORE THAT JUST AN ALBUM ...

I cant stop listening to the songs, and find more and more details and beauty to the MASTER PIECE of Expression!

this is infinaly interesting

this album just shows how much they have improved as musicians and artists. those are some great melodies and lyrics, a little different from what's usual from incubus, but still as amazing as the rest of their material.
it's hard with anna molly, light granades, rogues and pendulous threads, and beautiful with dig, quicksand, love hurts.
great album from a great band.
