Musical Style Mike Einziger Incubus' Guitarist Commented In An Interview With MTV That The Album "sounds Like 13 Different Bands Playing 13 Different Songs... Every Time We're About To Start Making A New Album I Tell Myself 'Okay This One's Going To Be Cohesive ' And It Never Happens." For The Most Part Light Grenades Expands Upon The Sounds Previously Explored In 2004's A Crow Left Of The Murder.... Other Songs Showcase A New Direction For The Band. For Example Brandon Boyd Describes The Curious Recording Technique Behind "Paper Shoes" "There's A Song Called 'Paper Shoes' Where Michael And I Mic'd Our Bodies With Ambient Mics And Did The Percussion Tracks Pounding On Our Chests And Skulls. The Galloping Rhythm Is Us Pounding On Our Chests. It Was Really Funny. We Were Trying So Hard Not To Laugh Because We Were Sitting There Like Cavemen Beating Our Chests!"

When Asked About The Album Title Frontman Brandon Boyd Explained "There's A Song Called That On The Record And It Felt Like The Most Pertinent Conceptual Aspect Of The Album The Idea Of Throwing Ideas At Problems And The Ideas Explode With Light And Good Results And Intention On Consciousness. So I Started Imagining Imagery Of Students In Different Countries Protesting And Throwing Molotov Cocktails With Masks Over Their Faces. But There's One Brave Student Who Runs Up To The Police Line And As Opposed To Throwing Rocks Or Things That Destroy There's This Concept Of That One Courageous Lonely Student Running Up And Throwing Ideas And Having Them Actually Change Things. It Just Seemed Kind Of A Cool Concept The Redefining Of Weaponry." Track Listing All Tracks Written By Incubus. No. Title Length
