Did you ever listen to Incubus BEFORE 'Crow'? Every one of their albums have had a different sound. 'Crow' was a child to the their previous 4 albums (If you include 'Fungus')....It has been, by far, their worst album to date.
As for Light Grenades, it has the same problem as the new finger 11 album...Evolution of the bad. It is less rock, and the part that gets me, less funky. Incubus has always thrived on their Funk rock mentality...and if you don't believe me, you need to go listen to S.C.I.E.N.C.E and Make Yourself again.
Bottom line is that in my opinion, Crow Left of the Murder was a horrible CD.

We should write a Finger Eleven dance song about drinking and screwing. That will bring in some money."
Again, just IMO, but I really can't understand how they transformed into Franz Ferdinand so fast.

As for finger11, yeah, I realize these last 2 albums have been focused more on the mainstream than their previous 2. That is why Tip and 'Greyest of Blue Skies' will NEVER leave my iPod, where their self titled album was peeled off long ago.
