This poor guy just wanted to review an album and now his comment section is full of uncomprehensible messages and memes
Viacheslav Rakhmalov you obviously don’t know who the fuck you are dealing with. Look up his nuked “thatistheplan” channel when he did memes. Y’all new bois don’t realize that Fantano is more than well versed in shitposting by this day and age.
@@HotTaiCurry Thatistheplan was never about Jojo references tho
2KPotato ok...is JoJo reference is a meme. His channel deals with memes. I don’t see your argument.
This must be the work of stand user...
@@HotTaiCurry Sorry, I guess I'm just struggling to see any level of irony in the comments here. I probably don't understand enough about the Jojo fandom to get the meme aspect of it.

My life savings as tip
when you are about to get off, he hold your hand, look at you for 5 second and then say "i give you a strong to light 8"
the first thing he'd say would be, "Anthony Fantano here, your city's busiest Uber driver."
After 50 years, I can finally have an opinion on this album. Thank Melon.
Why 50 years?

Never understood the criticism of progressive rock as being overindulgent. I can totally get into a song with the structure of verse, chorus, verse, 12 minute guitar solo.
David Eitle If the solo is good enough, indulge away, I say.
it’s not overindulgent, most people just lack the capacity to listen to anything that isn’t basic af and make the excuse that the music is bad when the music is far superior
@@ouroborosnagyok9306 And then the same incultured swine say that classical music is the best in human history when asked (witch isn't wrong but if you would ask them why 99% couldn't give you a coherent answer). Fucking tools...
meanwhile, post rock and jazz get a free pass lol critics can be so stupid
Indulgent? No, jazz is indulgent, prog is arquitechture, every note its there for a purpouse, self indulgent solos are comon in hard rock and metal.
So imagine you eat an orange.
but you already ate the orange.
and you have a hole in your chest.
That's how [KING CRIMSON] works.
NANI?
I would, but all my imaginary oranges (I've got 33) are imaginary purple*.
* By purple, I mean -ultraviolet- ultraviolent.

I honestly wish I kept my old username so I could quote some Armstrong shit for the sake of the meme. Such a great character.
Sssh, it just works.
King crimson, instead of time, manipulates fate or the future if you're adamant about it manipulating time.
Regardless of what you name it, it plays out the same : Diavolo activates king crimson's epitaph allowing him to see the next 10 seconds with perfect accuracy, everyone was fated to move a certain way and they do. Diavolo, however can ignore his fate for those 10 seconds and move freely in an intangible state meaning he can't attack himself or take damage in "erased time".
Once the 10 seconds run out however, he can instantly attack but he can only be in one place. He can trick people unaware of his ability by taunting them just before skipping time so they attack then but the attack will just faze through him and hit whatever's on the other side due to its inertia, be it another person or an object.
How do you think a mind is supposed to react if its destiny is completely changed? It gets severely disoriented.
In essence, king crimson is the original D4C, it can create a space were its own misfortune is negated and it can heal or essentially create a new user that has the same memories and motivation as the previous one.
About some theoretical matchups: The world inserts actual time in a timeline, adding extra fate where diaVolo has no control over since no actual time oasses, that is to day there are no fated events in between a fraction of an instant. Essentially king crimson gets donuted.
Against killer queen, in direct combat diavolo can be as reckless as he wants because he can negate the first bomb detonating or prevent him getting touched. If kira uses bites the dust on him, the first time he will blow up and time will rewind, the second time, king crimson will protect him from exploding meaning only kira gets sent back in time while the rest of the world just continues the timeline loop free while kira and whoever the bomb was planted on (it's not clear whether the host has to be a stand user or not since we only saw it on Hayato and the Paramedic lady who, as far a s we know weren't stand users) are stuck in the 1 hour loop, unfortunately he is unaware of what happens in each rewind, besides what he can glean from the people around him, he might therefore never figure it out and have trapped himself.
King crimson against king crimson is a stalemate but eventually boils down to which diavolo uses it the least, making it a very hardboiled and stamina driven battle.
If diavolo uses king crimson while time reaches a singularity point caused by made in heaven, he can temporarily avoid being compressed to the point from which the big bang sprung. Thus however is only in 10 second intervals and relies on diavolo's stamina, that is if earth wasn't destroyed already or he simply dies of old age which once again depends on his stamina. Her his future sight is severely shitrend because of course that time frame is accelerated. Made in heaven could sneak up on him like that already, preventing his personality and possibly his stand from returning in the new universe.
D4C can get blitzed by king crimson while it positions itself just when it emerges with a new valentine. He would die yo the menger amalgamation though since it's a constant effect unless it happens within 10 seconds where he becomes intangible while the other diavolo is consumed, thereby removing the danger. Against love train he can't do anything really since it is a reaction effect that doesn't rely on fate but on instant reflection, making diavolo's attacks useless, he might be able to phaze through the screen and kill valentine inside it though.
@@ricardolouage1662 You need to go outside.
Very great album, but man it is so hard to find!
***** it used to be unavailable on iTunes :P
Cherish G CURE!
In The Wake Of Poseidon is even harder to find.
Found an original 1969 copy at my record store yesterday for $10 I picked it up extremely fast
ou can find the 180g reissue for around $30 . Hear it correctly.
I might overhype it, but in my opinion it should be in the best 20 albums ever released.
AnotherGuyOnRUclips It defined prog rock more or less, I don't think top 20 is pushing it too far. Some think it hasn't aged well though.
Jup1terr When I first heard the album I didn't know yet how old the recording was, but it has instantly blown me away.
AnotherGuyOnRUclips Red and Larks' Toungues are probably better
EricMetalhead Maybe. King Crimson surely knows his shit.
+AnotherGuyOnRUclips In The Court was their only gold record, founded a genre, endorsed by Pete Townsend, etc... RED is better in my opinion, but it was a flop commercially and is nearly unknown. Everyone who's heard it loves it though (including Kurt Cobain)... I feel like their debut album (and all their others until Red) had an odd habit of flip-flopping between EXTREMELY abrasive noise rock and ethereal, mellotron-drenched ballads. Red is where they finally put the two together: the songs are both very heavy and very beautiful.
Rest in peace, Greg Lake.
PostMesmeric Ugh...it's depressing, but on the bright side I'm currently listening to this record in memory of Mr Lake!
I really like his voice.

The Jazz Session in the middle of 21st Century Schizoid Man is amazing.

I agree man, I was reading some people having some mixed critics about it but personally I love that jazz session, one of my favourite parts of the album
@@crowns9966 There are people, who don't like it? Weird.
its called mirrors
I'm so glad you reviewed this. The more people know about King Crimson the better
I just discovered them, it just may have been the best thing that has ever happened to me
Check out the albums Red, Larks Tongues in Aspic, and Discipline if you haven't already.
A life without King Crimson is a life not worth living
Flavio Rocha Discipline is an especially important album given it's context today, to me that was Math Rock before Math Rock even existed in some of it's songs.
Here's to #Passion
This record deserves to be in The Greatest 500 Albums of All Time by Rolling Stone. I really do hate that mag...
Well, the Rolling Stone put Bob Dylan on 7 in the list of the greatest singers. I love Dylan, but that's just ridiculous.
R0DisG0D Rolling Stones magazine always puts 'The Beatles' before the actual "ROLLING STONES" band on every damn best of list time after time. Yeah, fuck that magazine.
Lunatic4Bizcas
That is because it's not a magazine of The Rolling Stones, if I'm not mistaken it is named after the Dylan song "Like A Rolling Stone". On another note, I think putting The Beatles above The Rolling Stones is justified, but it really comes down to a matter of taste.
Jan Wenner doesn't like prog. Closer to the Edge? KC? Genesis? Nope. He prefers a harder edge. He likes rock n' roll.
R0DisG0D Rolling Stone put Kurt Cobain in one of the top guitarists of all time. I enjoy Cobain's music *more*, but he is *nowhere* near the likes of Joe Satriani and Eddie van Halen...
I hate Rolling Stone.
My uncle died when I was 7, I don't remember a whole lot about him through my own memories. My family uses him as a cautionary tale to the rest of us, he joined that 27 club, tripped on acid for moths at a time, developed schizophrenia, stopped looking after himself and died in his sleep of pneumonia. What I do remember is laying on his bed with him while he explained to me the importance of music, telling me his favourite parts of Beatles, Doors, Pink Floyd and Deep purple songs as he played them and explaining how they communicated emotions and asking me how they made me feel. Every so often I'll play another band I remember him listening to, and sometimes they'll bring back some memories. This album, it made me cry, it inspired me so much I couldn't help but draw, and all I could think was somewhere, whether it's in my heart or in some distant dimension of the dead, my uncle George was smiling. Knowing that he helped me understand music in a deeper way.

King Crimson - In The Court of The Crimson King: Song By Song Analysis (According to fantano):
2:34 21st Century Schizoid Man: "Features feverish riffs and some insane drum fills. It's a no-holds-barred track with some extremely just escalating and exciting saxophone leads. It has catchy distorted vocals on the hook; it's just a really heavy track."
3:02 I Talk To The Wind: "Has balladry and flute harmonies. Toning things down a lot more, but still very detailed, beautiful, and inspiring. While the tune is still very much a rock song, the melodies and the chords being played feels so folky in a way I mean it's just archaic kind of in a sense. It's kind of like I'm hearing this old music from a completely different world or something like that. The melody is absolutely intoxicating and even though this is a quieter song the drums still very very detailed and kind of improvisational against the song but still not really upon the beauty of it, enhancing it. And the flute solo on this thing is great."
3:45 Epitaph: "Extremely dark middle piece of this album. It is a mellotron kissed dirge that really helped associate this instrument with progressive rock and King Crimson in general. They went on to use this instrument many many many times on subsequent albums. This keyboard instrument was an extremely important piece of technology for its time because it was kind of playing tones that were essentially samples but it's got kind of like a grainy quality to it that feels familiar like I'm hearing an orchestra or something like that but it's also very haunting. King Crimson definitely shoots for something sort of orchestral at the beginning of this track with some big drum rolls, a lot of reverb and when the song finally kicks in, it is just absolute drama being filtered through this rock music lends. The guitar chords on this thing are just like breathtaking whether it's the hugely strummed acoustic guitar chords that just call out with echo again and again and again along with some very very, I'll use the word again, dramatic arpeggiated guitar chords and they slowly build the track higher and higher and higher not just instrumentally but emotionally I mean this song just feels like death to me. Every single crescendo the band brings on has this intense wave of sadness to it that I think very few artists ever have bottled into a piece of music this well. The track is just an absolute funeral dirge especially during the last minute and 47 seconds of this thing where the music is incredibly heavy with the drums and the mellotron."
5:45 Moonchild - "Equally as effective as the last. The track starts off with all
these mournful guitar leads and eventually goes into some very somber guitar chords and keyboards and while it is a very pretty tune, I loved the vocal melody on this track, the band quickly kind of evolves into this very sort of quiet understated and very spacious improv session where you're hearing nothing but Keys, drums, guitars and later some vibraphone. Everybody is making sound but nobody wants to step on one another and you're hearing the instruments interact in a lot of ways throughout this track. Somebody will play within a certain key or play a certain rhythm and another instrument will react to that and they're not afraid to totally interrupt and break this very intimate improvisational session apart with the opening chords of the closing on here, In The Court of The Crimson King track on here."
6:38 In The Court of The Crimson King - "If the song epitaph was like you know the death of a single person and was like the funeral for that person, this track is the apocalypse and musically and melodically I feel like
this track is a lot like epitaph. In a way, it's kind of like the reprieve in this very theatrical prog rock masterpiece. It's really heavier than any other song on the album with these long slow drawn-out chorus vocals and the drums are going crazy. Just some of the best drum fills and progressive rock ever being laid out all over this track and the crescendos on this track get heavy heavy heavy as well especially when these harmonized guitar leads come in and I mean the album really ends as strong as it started."

Dylan Monarch Epitaph looks into the near future as everything is going at the moment, and King Crimson himself erases the time between having performed an action and the result.
+Coleton Logue That's an oversimplification of its ability, though.
Daimon Shaw not really. The main reason ppl think it's rlly complex is because of bad translations. It's actually basically just a slightly worse Star platinum/the world

One of the greatest albums ever made.
I was 11 years old in '69, raised by somewhat socially conservative parents (good people, but concerned about appearances) my conception of music was the likes of Mitch Miller, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, and Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. To me, music was just background noise meant to break up the silence and keep one's mind off of depressing thoughts like the threat of nuclear war, Viet Nam, race riots, political assassinations, and the like.
That year my parents gave me a portable transistor radio for Christmas; the first one I'd ever owned that could receive FM, and that night I played it in my darkened bedroom, tuning around the at bottom end of the FM dial where the college stations lurked. I stopped on one station just as one song was ending and the next one that came on was Court of the Crimson King. My innocent 11 year old crew-cut mind was blown! I had no idea! I had no idea that there was another entire world out there filled with depth and mystery and passion! It was as though I'd found a chest of treasure in some mossy, vine covered abandoned castle. I fell asleep that night really _listening_ to music, music that had something interesting to say, for the first time in my life.
The next morning when I woke up, I discovered that somehow while I'd slept my hair had grown down to the middle of my back, and I had a craving to read Watts, and Kerouac, and Jung, and even Bukowski, although I wouldn't know who they were until years later.
I went through a lot of batteries playing that little transistor radio night after night, exploring that newfound landscape, and it was King Crimson that kicked things off.

It's worth buying. True classic :3
According to Fripp, Hendrix saw the original Crimson live and was just blown away, thought they were the greatest band he'd ever seen. Andy Summers of the Police, who at that time was dropping acid and playing psychedelia in Dantalian's Chariot on his way to a short stints in Soft Machine and a somewhat longer one in the New Animals, was from the same area as Fripp and had known him since they were teenagers playing the same hotel lounges. Andy's girlfriend (who later wrote a book called "Groupie") and Hendrix's girlfriend were quite close, so the two guitarists saw each other often, the last time being at a jam session in Los Angeles. Some 4 years after the break-up of the New Animals, when a broke Andy and his American wife had to sell his amp & borrow money from his dad for a ticket back to London, it was through Fripp, a famous name by that time, that he was able to find a well-paying job in Neil Sedaka's band where the original drummer of Crimson, Michael Giles, was also working, because the money was quite good. Since Summers had sold his amp, on nothing but Giles' recommendation, Sedaka fronted him 500 pounds to buy a replacement. Sedaka and Summers became friends during these tours. Later when Summers made it huge with the Police, he ran into Sedaka in NYC and invited his whole family backstage for the famous sold-out Shea Stadium concert.
Wow...is there any Dantalion's Chariot on youtube or anywhere ?!

@@jawwer12 you mean Jesus?
King Crimson is not all that complicated.
Epitaph sees 10 seconds into the future, which Diavolo can see for himself. If he wishes to, he can then activate King Crimson's erased time. During erased time, the future that Epitaph foresaw will take place and everything will play out as Epitaph forsaw. Only Diavolo can act consciously during this time. So while he cannot physically interact with anything and visa versa making him non-corporeal, he can move around on his own accord while everything else is bound by epitaph's predetermined fate. When erased time ends, no one will remember that period of time except Diavolo, hence the idea of it being "erased". However if Diavolo is touching something before he activates erased time, It will be treated as an extension of Diavolo until it becomes detached from him, such as his blood.
There you go, that is how King Crimson works
How did Bruno punched himself tho
How did he sewer trish hand?
Harrinsain!! How’d he kill Narancia then
This is a terrible explanation
I'm assuming he was touching Narancia before he "erased time" because then he could do whatever to Narancia and then it gets "erased" so no one remembers it but the effect still happens

Well... A part in the Moonchild suite is called "The Illusion"
I actually like the improv section in Moonchild.
Yeah, so do I. I love how it comes together at the end and becomes cohesive.
thank you Araki for making JoJo and with that giving me a chance to listen to this album
Same
"If the song epitaph was like you know the death of a single person and was like the funeral for that person, this track is the apocalypse.."
Which is probably why Alfonso Cuarón used "In The Court of The Crimson King" for his picture "Children Of Men." It's a perfect use of song in a motion picture.
Fuck yes this is one of my favorite albums
Yes is good too though
Yes and Crimson are the fathers of progressive rock imo. my 2 favorites
Whoops. Just realized it looked like I said "Fuck Yes" I love Yes and King Crimson equally.
Lost Undead Don't worry, I understood what you meant. I just wanted to make the joke.
This album was so ahead of it's time for 1969. Timeless.
it just works
but how
It just does
Ok... So King Crimson- ... And that's how it works.

This is the album that got me into Prog. I stumbled on a used vinyl copy in an antique store. The cover grabbed and held my attention. I had heard of King Crimson, mainly because my friend happened to tell me that they had numerous fantastic drummers (which is true), but had never really listened to anything by them. Mostly because of the album cover, I bought it and I cannot state enough how much it blew my mind when I first put it on. It was unlike anything I had heard up to that point and it wasn't anything like what I was expecting. Still one of my favorite albums of all time and this is coming from a metalhead!
I NEED CPR
(classic prog rock)
And that Greg's voice - so rich, so deep, so strong and gentle at the same time. I love it.
Soft Machine, Moody Blues, King Crimson. NANIIIIII!!!!!!
Wandered through the woods drunk as hell alone one a full moon winter night with this album on my phones. Took 'Moonchild' to a completely new level. And of couse enjoyed the whole album was enhanced.
Pardon my poor semantics!
How are you?

My high school girlfriend's dad got her into King Crimson. I grabbed her headphones and listened. It was Larks Tongue In Aspic. I was never the same.
This was listening to that in the 70s or now?
I discovered KC in 1995.
Yeah, coolest girl in the world. I'll let her know you said so.
+Robert Fripp What up Bob! Why are you smiling?
***** You're smiling in your profile picture. You like never smile.
Did you just.. Reference King Crimson's ability in your video?
No
That’s just his editing style
Everything is a JoJo reference
@@sauceenjoyer6511 You have reached TRUE JOJO
@@timewellspent8137 I have achieved H E A V A N
are like the little skips in the video a reference to the stand KING CRIMSON and it's ability to skip time
He does that in most of his videos lmao
It doesn't skip time, it erases it
It erases it from the perspective of the people he's affecting, but in reality it skips 10 seconds and, during that time, only he knows what's happening.
"Only he knows what's happening."
*The effects of actions are erased.
Otherwise, as soon as he activated his ability, there would be nothing to stop him from leaving behind a room full of dead bodies.
It's kind of like combining precognition with Obito's Kamui. The only way to kill him without an unstoppable, incomprehensible power like GER is to launch an attack that is absolutely fatal and continuous for a period of more than 10 seconds. Think Kanon's paper bomb barrage against Obito; although it failed to kill him, it would definitely kill Diavolo.
@Dirt Kevin Stfu about *non* -anime
*im surprised rob fripp hasnt taken this vid down...*
It's good to be The King.
Is he someone who doesn't like the internet either? Like Bryan Adams who refuses to allow his own listing on Allmusic?
He doesn’t actually play songs from the album in the video, and Robert Fripp didn’t design the cover, so he can’t claim this video.
His stand's ability is to erase videos
I discovered this album 20 years ago when I was 16, and it absolutely blew my mind! I had no idea that music could be this moving and fulfilling, it completely changed my perception of music. To this day I hold it as the absolutely most important album ever made, and hearing you describe it so colorful and loving almost made me cry. Intensely awesome musical journey ❤
I remember discovering these guys towards the end of the 2000s. They inmediately enthralled me. Never before has insanity been so precise, so clear, so cohesive. The lineup changes actually work for the band, album-by-album.
Back to the album, it goes from volcanic jazz, to serene earthy ballads, to dramatic epics, to chilling celestial eeriness, to the bombasm of the final track. Holy shit!!!
Huh? I dont remember clicking this video? Huh my food is already eaten? Something is fishy here Diavony Jothano
King Crimson has skipped 10 seconds.
Hi Anthony,
just watching a few of your classic album reviews (Kraftwerk TEE, Maiden NOTB, and now here). Love these reviews, the albums back stories, and your enthusiasm - you are the man!
Love this album and what you had to say about the emotion of the music. Seeing this review and your love of the music made me happy
I just started listening to this album today and I instantly recognized the hook from the first song that was sampled by kanye West on his MBDTF. After finishing the the LP I flip it and replay it from the start and I did it agn and agn and now I think I am in love with it.
Max Chee the fact you mentioned Kanye West and this album... FUCK YOU.
Nick H. Don't be so up your own ass
SolidRasmus just because I have taste, doesn't mean I'm up my own ass..
Not at least respecting what Kanye West does as the work of an incredibly talented man, whether you like his music or not, is just plain ignorant.
SolidRasmus sounds like some shit Kanye West would say, "People who don't respect me are ignorant".
It's a shame but understandable for this current music generation to know who Kanye West is before King Crimson.
Greg Lakes bass line on 21st Century Schizoid Man is insane
this is one of my fav albums of all time, great drumming and compositions.
You, sir is a superb listener. I really enjoy your commentary, but also you're very smart. And one rarely reads a commentary in the press anymore with depth , and you have great depth when you discuss recordings.
How about a review of an old Genesis Album like Tresspass, Foxtrot or Nursery Cryme?
Selling England by the pound :D
Ted Fitzpatrick
Or that one. I don't really care, they're all masterpieces
I have all four of those, I'll be reviewing them soon
+Solaire of Astora Wind and Wuthering
+Solaire of Astora Trespass hell yeah!
One of my absolute favourite albums. Groundbreaking - still in 2007, when I first heard it.
NANI? STANDO?
Wrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy
Great summation of what is a wonderful album. Your enthusiasm for this masterpiece echos my own. Keep up the great content and thanks.
I loved the instrumental part of Moonchild when I was in LSD, it was great, specially when ITCOTCK came from nothing
I loved this album because I think the sad and funeral-like theme is inspired by the artists lives, and I can relate to the lyrics of Epitaph. "Confusion, will be my epitaph..." this line struck me, I tend to overthink things and always come to the conclusion "oh man, life is confusion, nothing more nothing less"
It was very inspired by the Vietnam War, especially 21st Century Schizoid Man and Epitaph. Their lives have probably also influenced the themes, but as far as I know the main inspiration was the war and threat of nuclear destruction.
another great review on an awesome musical work. Can't stop listening to it. As much of a vinyl nut has I am, I just ordered the Steven Wilson CD/DVD remaster. Keep up the great work Mr. Fantano
Remember hearing this LP in 1971 Playing Pool with a buddy and played it over and over. Still have my copy but very beat up. Saw Ringo years ago and Greg Lake was in the Band and after the opening number they went into "Court of the Crimson King"! The Crowd freaked out!
Finally got around to this album two days ago. One of the best I've ever heard.
Got myself a copy of this on Vinyl for $25 last weekend, been listening to it for the first time today. Awesome album!
The best album ever made. This was 1969, I remember buying the record, it was so far ahead of its time. It took you to places most bands didn't know existed and those that did could not express it like this band.
The improvisational part of this album is definitely my favorite so far. It reminds me of a jazz band, and I love jazz. Love that aspect of this album. Gives me butterflies.
this is one of the best albums of all time, and is so brilliantly dramatic and indulgent. It made perfect sense when 21st century schizoid man was sampled on my beautiful dark twisted fantasy - the two have much more in common than you would first think!
Oh, and the fact that Robert Christgau called this 'ersatz shit' proves he's really not got much idea what he's talking about when it comes to music
I'm glad I'm not the only person who holds no stock in Christgau's opinion
1Superchops as am I. And I bloody well hope we're not the only two - that man openly says he is a genre snob, yet people take him seriously as a music critic who is meant to be by definition open to all music types!
I didn't even think that people actually found Robert credible!
Dartxker Bitsby I've yet to see concrete evidence people do find him credible. And I hope I never do
If there's one thing you can say in his defence... at least he's not Scaruffi.
Could you review Genesis' concept album "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway"? It's a Prog masterpiece.
lily millwater "In The Cage" and "Carpet Crawlers" are better, I think.
Yeah, the longer songs are incredible. What the fuck is Banks doing on Riding The Scree? Sounds amazing. :)
Great album. The Lamia is one of my favorite tracks from this :)
My favorite lyric from the album is:

Great review and very articulate. I agree what you said about more recent prog bands. Back then you couldn't completely throw out the melody.
My family went to Edinburgh for vacation and I finally found a copy on vinyl! Gonna play it when I get home! Thanks Anthony for recommending this album to a young discoverer of prog.

You can tell anthony is really excited about this album.
I never realized this was my first exposure to you, through one of my favorite bands. Glad I found you.
It's a nice stand too, it just works
@@replicant4142 Too bad it will never reach the Truth.
Finally Anthony`s review I agree with
TIME HAS BEEN ERASED.
Red is a better album I just can't get over how perfect Starless is
I always get literal chills on my spine when the jazzy solo breaks after 5 minutes of tense build-up.
Agreed.
***** Exactly. He created so much more emotion with one god damn note than the flashy "guitar heroes" of today.
Yeah I think I like Red just a little better than ITCoTCK. Starless is a fantastic song, I just think the buildup section in the middle drags on a little too long.
Court of the crimson king is a lot more dramatic but I also prefere Red slightly more.
I love hearing about albums like this. Especially considering it's so highly acclaimed and recommended by the entire comment section. But it also fills in some small Easter eggs I never knew about. Had no idea Kanye sampled king crimson in power but now that it makes sense I can never hear it the same, in a good way!
Great review.
You should review King Crimson lizard album.
I remember the first time I heard this album I was 15. I was at Taz records (Used record store in Halifax Nova Scotia) and it was playing over the stereo system there. I asked what it was and then went to look through the albums to find it. The artwork just popped out and grabbed me and I thought ok cool. I took it home put it on the old record player we had, plugged in the old 1/4' headphones and let it spin. Right from the first 30 second of 21st century schizoid man I was hooked. To this day it remains one of my all time favorites.
I absolutely love this album, and 21st century Schizoid Man is easily one of my all time favourite songs now
The insane guitar, saxophone, drums (Michael Giles goes insane on them, holy damn they're good to listen to) works so goddamn well to create an intense, psychedelic experience
Stumbled upon this album browsing my parents vinyl collection. It was THE highlight! Absolutely love it!
I get so emotional with Epitaph...
I freaking cry every time I listen to it. It hits me to the core.
@@MNcoquicoqui Cryyyyyyyyyiiiiinggggggggg.
I love this album because it's the beginning of my change to music that mattered. This album introduced me to Robert Fripp for which I am forever grateful and from track 1I heard music that effected me like no other had. It had a profound impact on my life.
yeah but how does it work?

I've liked your reviews after first hearing you maybe a year ago. But this ended up in my recomended and now I know where you got your nickname. I've loved this album for 25 years and I can hear you've listened to the shit out of this record and how much you love it.
Best album of all time. There’s no changing my mind. First time I ever listened to it maybe 3-4 years ago, I just sat there and tried to comprehend what I had just heard for like an hour and a half.

Nice review! Agreed, it’s a quintessential masterpiece of epic proportions.
Still sounds breathtaking in 2021. Truly a Timeless Masterpiece!
