This review critiques Incubus' album 'A Crow Left Of The Murder' for its predictable pop-rock direction, which strays from the band's previous successful formulas. Despite some interesting tracks and political commentary, the album ultimately feels banal and fails to surprise listeners.

 A neurotic-tribal dance. As if Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles had found themselves playing with the Chemical Brothers all happily on acid.
