    Once again, Incubus have managed to drastically change up their style and sound, and the outcome is fantastic. Though not as experimental as Morning View, the music here is blistering, energetic, and most of all, raw--the guitar and percussion, especially, shine through more than ever before, playing off each other across superb solos on tracks such as "Sick Sad Little World" and Once again, Incubus have managed to drastically change up their style and sound, and the outcome is fantastic.

This is Incubus, at long last, doing rock n' roll--and it sounds awesome. … Expand

    If your a fan of incubus or ever have been in the past u should pick this cd up. "Make Yourself" was my previous favorite, but i'm thinking this one is even better. They rock out more than in "Morning View" Plus with the new bassist, they harmonize in some songs and its definitly a good change of pace. the guitar solo's are sweet, especially in 'Sick Sad Little World' If your a fan of incubus or ever have been in the past u should pick this cd up.

Its got them in concert, and some funny behind the scenes action. over 26 minutes of extras. Buy this CD now if u havent already… Expand

    This 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)

    This CD is by far their best album. All the people who reviewed this album are not true Incubus fans.

    this 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.

    Incubus has always been able to find a new way to express themselves with each album, this being even more explorational and creative than ever

    This album is awesome. Brandon Boyd is very musically talented, and he shows it off on this album. Crow is a must-buy.

    I 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!

    The 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.

    This is certainly different than the other albums released, but that has become a standard for incubus hasn't it. I think any person is disappointed at first listen, but once you go through it a few times (which I have tonight) you start to enjoy this album. Give it a chance, don't throw it out in the trash after the first listen.

    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.

    Tuneless, 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.
