moonchild was awful

I listened to this album for the first time yesterday. The Court Of The Crimson King was probably my favorite track.

My favorite is I Talk to the Wind
All great tho

>>55328674

That's not I Talk To The Wind.

Epitaph

First two minutes are some of the best on the album.

>>55329756
>>55329780

Actually that's the only track i really enjoy, don't know why.

The rest just sounds too much dadrock to me.
Still a great album though

>>55329819
I Talk to the Wind is the second most "dadrock" point of the album.

>>55329819
What the fuck? Are you retarded?

>>55329841
Yes, kinda paradoxal but i don't know, i really like it, it's a very chill song, makes me feel good

I'm just not a fan of all the electric guitar melodies of the rest of the album, but i enjoy it a lot once in a while

>>55329819

>>55329819
>using dadrock unironically

for fuck sake

>>55328674

The Great Deceiver is a fantastic live album/compilation, check it out if you haven't. Absent Lovers is also great.

>>55330072
I like 1997's Epitaph

>In The Wake of Poseidon isn't his favorite King Crimson album!

>>55330522
>the same style as ITCOCK but done worse
>their best album
dude Larks Tongues is where it's at

>>55330542
>worse
Bitch I will cut you

>>55330561
yes, worse. I love In The Wake, just like almost every Crimson album, but In The Court is just done better.

This might actually be one of the few LPs where the songs get better in sequential order.

>>55328674
1) Moonchild
2) 21st Schizoid Man
3) Epitath
4) I Talk To The Wind
5) ITCOTCK

lizard is their shittiest album

>>55330826
Some of the songs in lizards were really good. For example i loved Happy family, indoor games. The others were alright.

>>55330826
Lizard is dank man
I would say the power to believe is their worst

>>55330859
Haskell literally sounds like the gravedigger from the Hamlet movie

>>55330522

>Not Discipline

>>55330522
Poseidon is decent, it's just that the second side is composed of a questionable faux-pop song and the album's centerpiece which is just Mars from The Planets.

>>55330826
bruh, Cirkus and Lizard alone make automatically make that album dank tier. If only Jon Anderson worked with King Crimson more often

>>55330826

But Lizard has one of the best song of the band!

Actually, The Court of the Crimson King is the best song.

>>55330826
nah, that title goes to Construkction of Light

>>55331147

Objectively talking, you're right.

>>55330875
ptb was quite an improvement over shitty meal of CoL and shitty alt pop of Thrak.

So you say you're a big fan of very poorly- (and slowly-) paced classical/jazz/pop that doesn't go anywhere at all? You love to hear a band that seems to have no idea what the hell it is they're trying to accomplish? Look no further, my man! My MAAAAAAY-AY-AIN man! Aside from one kickass blast jam ("Sailor's Tale") and a couple of lovely sax passages strewn throughout, this whole album is like Sominex. In some way. I think because you eat this album with water.

The singer on this one is Boz Burrell, later to join rock gods Bad Company. The guitarist is Robert Fripp but you hardly hear him anyway - he's too busy creating important piano/string/horn-buried pompous art music to bother actually playing the guitar (aside from "Sailor's Tale," of course). What was he trying to do at this point in his career???? It's not hippie music, it's not free jazz (aside from a couple of key moments), if it's meant as classical, it's worthless oversimplified classical, if it's rock, it's fucking AWFUL rock ("Ladies Of The Road" is both bland AND sexist! Much like me, except I'm bland OR sexist!). Time to call it day, ol' Fripp. You suck.

>>55328674
correct

>>55331147
My least favorite KC album?
Have to go with Beat.

>>55331415
Bad day ?

>>55328674

The only reason this album floats around so much is its iconic cover art. Out of KC's entire discography, this album sits in the bottom half of it. Stop talking about ITCOTCK and move on to their better work. They grow a lot as composers and musicians. KC is more than meme-music

>>55330826
I think Lady Of The Dancing Water is beautiful in some strange way. Title track is good, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't drag on a bit. All other tracks are kind of ruined by Haskell's vocals, although I did like him on Cadence and Cascade.

>>55331704

But ITCOTCK is a great debut album!

But I agree

>>55331704
I think thats a really negative opinion but you aren't entirely wrong

>>55330826

Actually it's top 3

>>55331054
>questionable faux-pop song
Cat Food is one of KCs most fun songs I think, easily my favourite off of Poseidon

>>55332128
I don't really hate it, but it's a weird fit on the album.

>>55331704
Which album is your favorite?

>>55332780

Tough call. KC's discography is like "the best of" of 3 or 4 different bands, what with how much they progressed in terms of their sound.

Discipline and Red I think are in the toss-up for "best", but Lizard, Starless&BibleBlack and Islands are still favorites. So idk.
