Reviews:

''Light Grenades'' is the sixth studio album by alternative rock band Incubus, released on November 28, 2006 on Epic Records. The album sold 359,000 copies during its first week of release worldwide, mostly in the United States.

''Light Grenades'' debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 165,000 copies in the U.S. in its first week; it is the band's first number one album. However, ''Light Grenades'' also holds the dubious honor of the biggest drop from No. 1 in chart history, falling from No. 1 to No. 37 in its second week on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and breaking the record set by Marilyn Manson's ''The Golden Age of Grotesque'', which fell from No. 1 to No. 21 in 2003. The album has since gone gold in the US, selling 845,000 copies there. - Wikipedia

Although the nu hippies are understandably not fans of all this '80s chic biting into record sales, you can't deny the, um, angularity of the leads in lead single "Anna Molly" (yes' sigh' that is a play on "anomaly"). For what it's worth, the track is crisp and infinitely listen-able, more Joy Division than Hoobastank, thank you very much.
