The band tokk three years to come out with Crow after their release of Morning View, which was arguably their most prestigious project to date. Not only did the View have several mainstream success stories in the forms of Wish You Were Here and the others, but the tunes that never hit the radio are some of the best written songs in the last ten years of rock music. Morning View was such a smashing release for them, I'm not surprised that many fans, including myself, could not embrace Crow with such open arms. I was left wanting more, especially after waiting for three years, and though the album as a whole is still very good, I heard the sound of the band turning in a direction that I, personally, did not want it to go. After all that criticism, I still gave it 4 stars!
