Incubus fans: Light Grenade

How many of you have heard this?
I was a fan of the old school Incubus, more or less anything before S.C.I.E.N.CE. Make Yourself was alright. Morning View was pure shit. I gave up on Incubus after that album.
Since I'd given up on them (as did most of my friends), I didn't know that they had released a new album. My school has this music service called Ruckus which allows us to download free MP3s that have DRM on them. I hack all the MP3s I get from there and remove the DRM. That is beside the point. I searched Incubus for the hell of it and saw that they had a new album. So I downloaded it. Just got around to listening to it about 2 weeks ago.
Honestly, Light Grenades surprised the fuck out of me. It's a great album, in my opinion. What do you guys think? At least 10-20x better than Morning View?
Finally a new album from an old band that isn't shit.
BTW: for those of you that want the album, I can send it to you via gmail or some upload site. I can upload unlimited amounts till Tuesday, then I'm back on campus and can't upload much =\

I've only heard Dig and Anna Molly... I liked them both until local radio overplayed the shit out of them.

I hated Anna Molly, that's the only track I've heard.
They got progressively worse as they started caring more about their appearance than their music. Brandon Boyd stopped writing insightful lyrics after Make Yourself, Morning View was the beginning of his gay "crooner wannabe" phase where he thinks he's got a good voice when in reality he's only good at singing when he's ripping off Anthony Keidis's style (such as in SCIENCE).
They really fucked up by losing their bass player "Dirk Lance" or whatever the fuck his real name is. Dude was k3y to their whiteboy funk sound.

I think it's decent. Their newer stuff didn't hit me either, but the last one isn't too bad.

I thought it was boring and borderline cheesy.

I bought it; it's great. But I loved Morning View, so I guess I'm just an Incubus fan through-and-through.
