4 stars "The Ideal Crash" is the album where dEUS took a new direction and went, well not mainstream, but rather not weird, though much more creative and original than their future releases.

This album is, in fact, great, though not progressive at all, it has some catchy rockers and beautiful ballads, absolutely worth listening to. "Put The Freaks Up Front" is a real cool song, very straight forward and with nice melodies, a raw and groovy rocker, then comes "Sister Dew", a sweet ballad, really emotional and one of the highest points here, in the same vein is "The Magic Hour", one more spacey ballad, really beautiful, and though not prog at all, these are the moments that are really worth listening in the album."Instant Street" is probably the most popular dEUS' song, and it is great! It's very catchy, very pop-ish, but it's truly fantastic, beautiful and addictive, optimistic and refreshing, some great music indeed!

On the experimental side of the album, we get the spacey "One Advice, Space", a soft song with a great mood; "Everybody's Weird", the weirdest piece, very addictive and entertaining; and "Dream Sequence #1", the rather minimalistic electronic effort, and one absolute gem, absolutely beautiful.

So, despite this not being progressive rock at all, it is great music and would appeal to most prog fans, I guess, if you want to start off with dEUS, start off with this one, it IS their most enjoyable one.
