Incubus - A Crow Left Of The Murder

Double LP set pressed on 180-gram vinyl

Deluxe gatefold jacket

Includes "Megalomanic," "Talk Shows On Mute" and "Agoraphobia"

"Though Incubus can detonate sonic depth charges with the best of them, the Calabasas band has been content to be the chess club at Alt-Rock High — cerebral and dreamy, earnest but timid, always inclined to restrain its power and go for the reverie. For A Crow Left of the Murder, Incubus enlisted a new producer, Brendan O'Brien, and it sounds as if he arrived at the studio with a cattle prod. Crow is a striking redefinition, an album that roars and twitches with the raw, aggressive, fury of urgent rock activism. The new vehemence is apparent in the first song, 'Megalomaniac,' where Brandon Boyd's voice shifts from clenched steel to Johnny Rotten rant as he indicts the title character — 'You're no Jesus, you're no Elvis ... you're no answer.'

"It might be the best mix of plaintive, powerful voice and creative crunch since the arrival of Audioslave. Boyd's voice can slice through a storm like Thom Yorke's, and when the music is charged with energy and immediacy, the results are bracing." — The Los Angeles Times
