There’s conceivably a great record still lurking inside this band but you’re going to have to wait just a bit longer to hear it.
-
Entertainment WeeklyTuneless, torturously knotty prog-metal. [13 Feb 2004, p.72]
-
There’s little in the way of straightforward rock here[;] instead they have opted to renege on their commitment to flat-four crunch and embrace melodicism...and experimentalism.
-
Too much of the disc is filtered through clinical and slightly jazzy rock that renders it a tiny noise about nothing.
-
"Crow" is a striking redefinition, an album that roars and twitches with the raw, aggressive, fury of urgent rock activism.
-
MojoExplores Incubus' inner jam band. [Feb 2004, p.94]
-
BlenderHis bandmates... elevate Boyd's self-indulgent nonsense with rich noodling and searing flashes of metal. [Mar 2004, p.120]
-
The band still indulges in plenty of effects-happy instrumental gymnastics and tricky rhythms, but A Crow Left of the Murder . . . is also its most consistently tune-based album.
-
SpinSuddenly, these longtime collaborators seem like a mismatch worthy of Blind Date. [Mar 2004, p.95]
-
Q MagazineAn ambitious and surprisingly accomplished album. [May 2004, p.104]
-
