The Best King Crimson Record! (2008-04-21)

I have numerous KC records, but this is one I always return to. This marks the band at their best before they got too jazzy. Nobody else uses a mellotron like this, bringing out all the icyness of that forerunner to today's synthesizer when all was tapes and magnetic heads! If you like it, I highly recommend this record's similar brother: In the Wake of Poseidon, which is phenomenal!

Great Prog! (2008-03-17)

Ahh The first progressive rock album or at least this is what I have been told. I believe that this lp doesn't get the recognition that it deserves mostly because KC never were commercially successful as well ...Pink Floyd to name a name. Hell look at the number of reviews that it has on this site for proof. This is unfortunate and I would argue that this is as good as DSOTM if not slightly better. Epitaph and 21st Century Schiziod Man are great! If the cliche "ahead of its time" doesn't apply to this I don't know what does. This is Prog in it's finest hour.

The complete masterpiece ever written by KC (2006-03-23)

Their first record and their best. Greg Lake sings so well on "I Talk To The Wind" and on "21st Century Schizoid Man" (it's like if he took his voice, put it in a blinder to scramble, and put it in his throat again and then sing). Robert Fripp is amazing with his guitar playing. All songs are exceptional from the beginning to the end, you can't stop the record without listening to every song. I always feel like I'm dying when I listen to "Epitaph" and "In The Court Of The Crimson King". Awesome record, great progressive rock jazzy music!
