The Ideal Crash is the third studio album by the Belgian band dEUS . It was published on March 15, 1999 and has sold a total of more than 250,000 times.

The Ideal Crash was largely recorded in Spain and is the band's first album to be released on a major record label. Paradoxically, however, it is also the only album by the band that was not released in the United States. In Belgium it achieved gold status with sales of 25,000 copies in one week and stayed in the album charts for several months.

Reviews

The album has received consistently positive reviews and is considered one of the best in the band. For example, laut.de gave four out of five points and Allmusic four and a half out of five points. Plattentests.de even gave it the highest rating (10/10) and described it as a "round and closed work" that "grows with every listen".
