The Life of Reidy

I gave the new album, "Light Grenades" a listen, and it sounds to me like Incubus is still evolving into a new sound, taking a few more steps from what "A Crow Left Of The Murder." Usually it takes me a few listens to really get into an album anyway, but this new album didn't really catch my attention right away. There were some tracks that definatly caught my ear, but over all the tone was drowned out and Brandon Boyd still sounds like he's trying to be way too pretty. Luckily theres always some amazing instrumental arrangements going on beyond his crooning, which have always made Incubus one of the abnds I enjoy listening to. I still wish they would go back to the olden days with the amazing fury they found in their "Enjoy Incubus" and "S.C.I.E.N.C.E." days, but listening to where this band is going we probably won't be de-evolving just yet. Oh well. Any die-hard Incubus fan will love the new album. Other casual listeners should probably just give it a quick check.
