Hearing Dave say Black British Music brought a singular tear to my eye
Jim makes me proud of my country
“He held a gun against my head, this is a dangerous place”
Wildly different to the 70s iteration of KC, but genius in its own right.
The addition of Adrian Belew works seamlessly, and the album sort of takes on more of a theatrical identity than KCs previous works. Sometimes it works to the result of masterful songs, but very occasionally I find myself missing the feel of earlier works from them.
Matte Kudasai is one of my favourite tracks from the bands history, and in my mind ... read more
Directionless, messy and often overproduced.
Quadeca solo song is the best thing on here.
Benson Boone has tortured my poor ears for too long with his obnoxious radio songs. I found myself having to skip almost every song before it was finished because it was actual torture.
TikTok has done irreparable damage to pop music.
Also fuck this patriotic pick me boy ass album cover ur not that guy pal
Funky easy to listen to tracks that absolutely fly by. Feels like a 10 minute album.
Whilst it may not be particularly deep or thought provoking, that doesn’t have to be the goal of all music, even if it may be what I tend to lean towards.
AOTY shudders when a white boy gets his groove on
Stand outs for me are
On and On
I Want Your Video
Slither
A masterclass in sampling and album structure.
Every track is placed in the perfect spot, and serves to make the whole listening experience grow and grow the further through the album you get.
A must listen, and one that has inspired much of the last quarter century
Doesn’t work so well as an album listen, due to the lack of cohesion and its length. Sometimes this works to an albums benefit, but for me didn’t land in this instance.
However many of the individual tracks on here are great.
I just think Avalanches have done better (SINCE I LEFT YOU IS UNREAL)
A vast improvement on an already amazing track, and fulfils my love of “epics”
To think that the original variation of King Crimson began with In the Court of the Crimson King, which is arguably the greatest band debut album in history, and ended with Red, is just unfathomable.
Whilst I do enjoy their work after returning from the 7 year hiatus, I feel that ‘69-‘74 really does represent the bands golden age, and in my eyes roughly the golden age of prog rock in general.
Red is a masterful work of insane proportion, beginning strongly with the title track, ... read more
