I've heard the new album and while I AGREE that it is VERY different, I don't really hear the grunge thing in it. What I do hear is Led Zeppelin (On more than one song), The Beatles (later psyche period) and a bit of Hendrix, blended together with the darkness of Creatures, but that's just me. Hey, if that grunge c#@p sounded like this, I would even like it.
