Free Music Notes for A Crow Left of the Murder
Free Music Review: An acquired taste..
Hit: 5 Stars
When I first bought this in '04, I HATED it. Then, I saw Incubus live, got to meet Brandon on the tour, and started to listen to the CD more. I didn't even like Megalomaniac when I first heard it. I have been a die hard Incubus man for a VERY VERY long time, and it took quite a few listenings to fully appreciate. My favorites are Crow Left of The Murder, Agoraphobia, Smile Lines, Here in My Room, Sick Sad Little World, Pistola, shoot, with the exception of Priceless, there isn't a song I DON'T consider a favorite. I'm not a big lyricist- some people criticize Brandon harshly but I don't really mind. If I did, I probably wouldn't be in the Air Force right now. As a musician, however, this remains an achievement of sorts, as few bands dare to make the strides Incubus has with regards to evolving and maturing musically. Some bands have unintentionally recreated the same album 4 or 5 times if you catch my drift. And, that is the beauty that is Incubus. No 2 Incubus albums sound alike, and that's just amazing, as well as being unheard of in modern music. My love for this album doesn't come from one or two experiences, even if it does take me back to my senior year in high school. This is an album that, if given enough listening, you can grow with, or take you back to time. Best summary- it's like a fine beer. You probably won't like it at first, but it's impossible to let go of once you've acquired the taste.
A Crow Left of the Murder Poster
Kicking in like a compellingly acrimonious version of Rush ("Megalomaniac") before meandering through what can rather uncomfortably be termed noodly, time-signature lottery jazz-metal terrain A Crow Left of Murder probably identifies Incubus as the average Pearl Jam fan's second-choice for chin-stroking mosh action. Brendon O'Brien (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) produces and singer Brandon Boyd possibly fancies himself as a bit of a Vedder-esque sage, even blustering "My secret arsenal is an infinite ageless ink well" on the otherwise acceptable metal squawk of "Pistola".Boyd obviously has big issues with the ills of the world but the lyrics to "Talk Show on Mute" (reality TV is bad, especially Big Brother) and "Zee Deveel" (nice cars, nice clothes and other status symbols are bad) say nothing to enhance mankind's understanding of these twin evils. Incubus are probably on firmer ground with "Made for TV Movie" (like "Megalomaniac" it's an anti-War-on-Terror diatribe) and musically they're to be applauded for sidestepping the prescripted expectations of the metal genre they've been saddled with. Ultimately, however, one's enjoyment of this record swings on whether one considers Brandon Boyd's societal musings to be deeply venerable discourse or just soppy waffle. --Kevin Maidment
