Sep 17, 2013While not career defining or genre defining, this album easily represents Incubus in their purest, though perhaps not most enjoyable, form. A wonderful piece that only fails to deliver once or twice, and is overall a great listen.
-
Dec 23, 2011Have to admit, was just looking around, saw this CD for a great price and picked it up. Had no expectations, but wow. Great album, not Make Yourself but I would put in the Incubus top 3. Sick Sad Little World could be their best song ever?
-
Sep 20, 2011Really an uneven album from a band that we've grown a custom to making consistently great rock songs. It is nice, however, to see a departure from the sound they're comfortable with.
-
Apr 24, 2011The most mature song writing out of any of their albums. Catchy and listenable while still completely new and interesting. Guitarist Mike Eizeninger's best playing is featured on this record as well as a great introduction to their new bassist.

Oct 12, 2010I really liked this album, very unique and colorful subjects. I wish all alternative music could be more like this! I can't believe that people are hating on this album!

DaveNSep 22, 2006This is the sound the band has been searching for since releasing Fungus Amungus. Incubus always has released great CDs, but there lurked awkward moments within those CDs that showed the band hadn't reached its creative peak. Whle this CD doesn't sound as good as Make Yourself, its stronger musically and shows the evolution of the band.

huddyMay 5, 2006the fact of the matter is yes its different from all their other albums but thats the great thing about incubus they reinvent themselves on every album and a crow left of the murder is a nother perfect album my the band

Trisdewf;Apr 18, 2005Not as amazing as morning view or make yourself though still excellent. The last 5 tracks are 5 of the best as well as sick sad little world

samh.Jan 17, 2005once again incubus has shown us thier lyrical genious. but im dissapointed in this album only because it seems like they could have done much better allaround except in the lyric department.

CharliePDec 25, 2004This is a great album. Talk shows is a brilliant song.
-
-
andywDec 10, 2004This album was a real let down, I give it a 2 because there are two songs I would listen to more than once. It's obvious they know how to rock, but this sissy crap has to go.

chriscornellJun 22, 2004oh man, noooooo!!! only 3 songs for me on this album, the 1st one, pistola, and talk shows. bonus points for experimentation though. i wish they can get it back on the next album
-
-
CrystalRMay 20, 2004This was a great album. Talk show on mute is great. It made me wanna read the book 1984, which brandon refers to(it's a good book) It's still on repeat in my cd player, this album wasn't as good as Make Yourself though, which dserves a 10.5(near perfection)

BoswickCFeb 24, 2004This album is awesome. Brandon Boyd is very musically talented, and he shows it off on this album. Crow is a must-buy.
-
-
AimeeSFeb 23, 2004A passable CD if you're already an Incubus fan - but if you're aren't, nothing stands out or grabs your attention. After hearing a few tracks, they all blend into one, long, sleepy sounding blur... great vocals but nothing special.
-
-
angryandyFeb 23, 2004Einziger's guitar work can be compared to Hendrix or Tom Morello on this album. Boyd's lyrics are more politically charged, reflecting a highly politicized era. Crow shows definite maturation. They have clearly found their footing in the ground they first began to stake out on Make Yourself. However, in my opinion, this album still falls short of their 1997 classic S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

bensFeb 22, 2004on first listening to this, i thought... mmm this is nowhere near as innovative and fresh as their previous 2 albums, but as i love their previous albums so much, i decided to perservere, and had it on repeat for the whole night, and it is definatly growing on me (and thenk fucck its not the darkness) but still morning view has it for me, aqueous transmission, that is just GENIOUS, do u feel me?

LucyFeb 19, 2004Here in my room is alright, Megalomaniac is alright, and Smile Lines is contagiously catchy. But this CD comes nowhere near their others.

COreyFeb 16, 2004People arnt going to like this album if they didnt enjoy all of their other cd's. THis album consists of the four of them and some soundboards put together, with a jammed out pimus/beatles/metal fibe. It took me awhile to enjoy makeyourself and Morning view. Science and enjoy were always good times. I came around and now i think crow is a better direction, perhaps to late.

BladaCFeb 14, 2004If you like bad music you'll love this album. Trite, backless lyrics. And a bad singer to sing them. Production sounds great but it all falls apart when you put a bad singer over good a good band.

benhFeb 14, 2004this is a genius album listen to mike and brandon

NelsonCFeb 13, 2004Incubus is the greatest modern rock band with their various fusions of great music stylings. Crow Left of the Murder is a masterpiece in the part of Incubus. I'm pleased of their departure of the Morning View sound to something fresh, experimental, exploratory, different...and great! Of course with Incubus, that's always dependable with every passing record. Listen to Incubus..

johnsFeb 11, 2004this is my favorite incubus album or atleast tied for first. Like they do for every cd, they completely changed it up yet retain an unbeleivable sound. I am in love with this cd. It's nothing like you've ever heard, but its still incubus.

DustinGFeb 9, 2004I'm all for experimntation, but they have seem to have gone downhill since Make Yourself. The whole CD I was hoping for that good, old, funk groove that made Incubus a great band in the past. There was nothing to rock out to except, MAYBE, Megalomaniac. Not what I hoped for.

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.
