What's Left is the fifth studio album by Malaysian rock band, Cromok, released on December 2000 by EMI Music Malaysia. The album was poorly received.

Production

Like their previous albums, all songs in the album were written by the band's vocalist and bassist, Sam. Recording of the album was done mainly at the King Studio in Kuala Lumpur. What's Left would be Cromok's first album with its new guitarist, Hillary Ang from Search, following the departure of its original guitarist Karl, who leave the band prior to the album's release, due to his family and work commitments.

Release and reception

The album was released in December 2000, but was poorly received and its sales were lackluster. Despite its poor sales, the album received positive reviews. Zainal Alam Kadir from New Straits Times gave four out of five stars and wrote that the album is the band's "more structured piece of work" and is "not as dark or gloomy as the band's previous efforts, which were more raw and naive", while Harian Metro's Saniboey Mohd Ismail also praised the album.

The music video for "Crossed" was produced, marking the first time in the band's career, they produce a music video for any of their songs.
