This was my second listen to King Crimson. This album is masterfully made and It has Starless on it which is up there with some of my favourite songs ever.

Favs: Red, Fallen Angel, One More Red Nightmare, Starless

Least Fav: Providence(it's a really great improv track, really the only song I think could put as the lowest rated)
