It Leaked.........

So Light Grenades finally leaked today, the highlly anticipated album by my favourite band (Incubus). Here's my review;

Quicksand is a trippy build up in to a big bang with A Kiss To Send Us Off, with powerful guitar backing the lyrics, i think it's a pretty strong song! Next up on the album is Dig which almost sounds Morning View worthy, it really does sound good, i think it's the thicker guitar and slight delay which remind me of the verses of Wish You Were Here. Anna Molly seems pretty mediocre, Love Hurts, IMO really is amzing, i'm listening to an acoustic version of right it (it's a studio version, not from the Make Some Noise concert in april) ..it almost sounds like it's supposed to be acoustic, but with the more electric studio version, it gives the song more depth. Light Grenades.....it's just super crazy!! it's got a very punky feel to it, i like it a lot tbh. Earth to Bella was my most anticipated track off the album, and it's in 2 parts now....i've noticed that a guitar part from one of Mike's demo's he had on myspace has made it's way in to the song which marks the transition between part 1 and part 2 of the song, personally i'd love to see this performed live. Oil and Water didn't sound too promising from the 30 second clips we heard earlier in the month, but from hearing the beginning and it's build up i see how it fits in more and has much more than i expected. Lyrically i like Diamonds and Coal but haven't been able to get in to it just yet, i need some time though, only had 4 quick listens to the album. Rogues is amazingly cool...kinda like Light Grenades but not as fast.....yeah. Pendulous Threads is again a huge build up which leaves you expecting the album to end with a bang.....but then comes in Earth to Bella part 2 to cool things down, i think that's why it was probably split in to 2 parts, to make a huge build up so you expect the album to end with a big bang but then end with quite a soft song.

Overall i need to give it a few more listens and i'll have a more detailed review up here! I honestly can't say anything bad about the album, i love it more than ACLOTM...and it's in tough competition with Morning View but it's hard to compare and contrast with the previous albums (bar ACLOTM) since it's so different. I'll be back with a more detailed review later in the week.

Later!
