Crazy Eyes is the seventh studio album by American rock band Filter.

New members recruited included guitarist Oumi Kapila, bassist Ashley Dzerigian, drummer Chris Reeve and keyboardist Bobby Miller.

The result features heavy industrial crunch and solemn, ambient songs that reach back to Patrick's time in Nine Inch Nails and the first Filter album, 1995's Short Bus".

[3][4] Additionally, Patrick described it as an attempt "to look at people's unexplainable behavior and assess it, using sound.

[3] Patrick recalled: I was looking into the eyes of my father when he was passing away, and I held his hand...He glanced at me really quickly, focused on me, had this look of gratitude, and then he slipped away.

AllMusic praised the album for being something new while still being familiar to Patrick's past with Filter and Nine Inch Nails, describing it as "Less politically on the nose than the poppy Anthems for the Damned, more mature than the easy retread of The Trouble with Angels, and more visceral than The Sun Comes Out Tonight" and ultimately that "Crazy Eyes manages to tread new ground for Filter while respectfully acknowledging the sound that propelled the band in the first place.
