Other songs showcase a new direction for the band. 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…. The studio versions of both songs are also on Monuments and Melodies. Live versions have since seen release worldwide on the Look Alive live DVD. The songs "Punch Drunk" and "Look Alive" were recorded during the Light Grenades sessions, but were originally only available as bonus tracks on the Japanese edition of the album. "Rogues" made its debut at a pair of pre album-release shows at the London Astoria and the Berlin Postbahnhof on November 14 and 16 2006. The same two songs were also performed at Edgefest 2006 on September 30 at Tempe Beach Park, Arizona.
"A Kiss to Send Us Off" and "Anna Molly" made their live debut on VH1's Decades Rock: Live Tribute to the Pretenders on August 11, 2006, even though the songs were not featured in the program. "Earth to Bella" and "Love Hurts" made their live debut in front of an audience at the Make Some Noise concert on April 29, 2006. The album only achieved Gold, breaking a string of Platinum records beginning with 2002's Morning View. 37 in its second week on the Billboard 200 Albums chart.
However, until November 20th, 2016, Light Grenades held the dubious honor of having the title of the biggest drop from No. in its first week it is the band's first number one album. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 165,000 copies in the U.S. The album sold 359,000 copies during its first week of release worldwide, and debuted at No. Light Grenades is the sixth studio album by alternative rock band Incubus, released on Novemon Epic Records.
