I just can't. They tried something more radio-friendly and catchy here, and it's just not it.
This is such an innovative and complex record. These lads are geniuses.
After a dissapointment on the last record, this is good. The song "Islands" sounds like a soundtrack from a movie.
This record was my first introduction to King Crimson couple years ago, but just this record. I decided to deep dive into King Crimson's discography and I start with this one, and it is still a masterpiece. This is a timeless record, I got every sound that I want to listen in this album. The sound is a mix of everything, rock, jazz, classical, and even some folky vibes. They're all so yummy to my ear.
*83-75
Acoustic songs are not my thing but most of the songs in this are fine, I guess.
*This album didn't age well for me.
Decided to relisten to this, score still the same meaning they still can make good music.
