Ok, this album is definitely the one that takes the crown of the crimson king. I don't know how they could make so much sound in just 40 minutes. What stands out about this album is that it is probably the band's heaviest and that it has a magnificent atmosphere and a story that when you analyze the lyrics well you realize how raw it is.

My only drawback is Moonchild (I understand its purpose, but I still think it's a pretty boring song), but other than that, it's a damn good album and definitely deserves all the praise it gets. It also demostrates how a project can be catchy to casual listeners while still being incredibly prog

However, it still retains the progressive core of the band, resulting in a very interesting hybrid of these two bands. Although the ... read more
Seeing how this album is ranked on this website makes me realize that my rating is not at all surprising. This project expands on everything that was played on GKMC and raises it to a much higher level both musically and lyrically (mainly focusing on the struggles of black people in America and Kendrick's other personal problems as a famous artist, such as depression). This album is so good that even the fucking interludes are great songs and you can tell that Kendrick and everyone who ... read more
