Free Music Notes for A Crow Left of the Murder

Free Music Review: Amazing
Hit: 5 Stars

Megalomaniac- An explosive start to an explosive album. This is a good song to just rock out to.

A Crow Left of the Murder- I love Mike's guitar intro's. They never sound the same, and they are always so inventive and fun. This is one of those with his great guitar riffs. It's a very unique sounding song, but so full of energy.

Agoraphobia- This is a mellower song than the first two. This is perfect "chill" music, but with a very catchy melody. Don't be surprised if this one gets stuck in your head for a while.

Talk Show on Mute- This is also a mellow song, as well. Just like Agoraphobia, it's also very catchy. Those two songs do not sound alike, though. It's also worth noting the fun effects that DJ Kilmore uses in this song.

Beware! Criminal- This is a standard rock song...Incubus style. Which just makes it very fun. There's a little bit of it that reminds me of Jet, another good yet less creative band.

Sick, Sad Little World- Another great intro by Mike. This song is strangely addictive, and Brandon's vocal range is really good here. Another good rock tune.

Pistola- This is just all-out high octane rock. It's good, but the re-listening factor for it isn't as high as some of the others, possibly b/c it's just an exhausting song that can get old. I still like it, though.

Southern Girl- What a great rock ballad. It's just such a sweet song but it's got a very mellow and bittersweet tone. Probably one of my favorites on the cd. Awesome song.

Priceless- This is my least favorite on the cd. It's not a bad song by any means. There's just a sort of lack of melody. But that's the mood of the song. It's a very loud, fast paced song that has more of a yelling chorus than an actual melody. But it's got some GREAT guitar.

Zee Deveel- This is a very playful song that is just plain fun. It's got a great beat and a great pre-chorus, but mainly it's just fun to listen to.

Made For TV Movie- This is a mellow song that has a pinch of grunge to it. When listening to it, I was reminded of the mellower songs of Nirvana or early Bush. This ones got a pretty catchy chorus.

Smile Lines- A great rock tune. Very catchy verses, with some great lyrics. Who could ask for more?

Here in My Room- Wow. This is an awesome song. It's got a great main piano lead that's just chilling...I get goosebumps just thinking about it. This is by far the mellowest song on the cd, but I mean that in the best way possible. It sounds like they might have gotten a little bit of influence from Radiohead or someone like that b/c this song is so beautifully moody. DJ Kilmore's ambient effects add so much to the song it's ridiculous. This is a great song. The cd would be worth buying just for this song. Also, Brandon's singing style changes a bit for this song, and it sounds much more mature. I love everything about this song. It's incredible.

Leech- After "Here in My Room," if the cd had ended, it might leave some people depressed. To remedy that, they give us "Leech." A very high energy with some very fun guitar and bass riffs. I mean, when the chorus blares "The ride's over. Did you enjoy yourself?", could you honestly think of a better ending to this great disc?

Overall, A Crow Left of the Murder continues to show that Incubus just gets better and better with age. They never do albums that sound the same, and this one is no exception. I would definitely say that this one rocks out a little harder than Morning View, and I mean that in a good way. The only thing missing from this cd is an acoustic guitar song, but I kind of admire them for not doing one since they did them on their past two albums and they became big hits. They're not trying to repeat anything. This is Incubus re-invented...again. But you can still tell it is Incubus through and through. They are one of the few original and creative acts out there, and they just keep getting better. If you like Incubus, buy this cd. If you like rock, buy this cd. If you are just curious about Incubus and don't know their music, buy this cd. It's a great cd that displays just how talented these guys are.
