5 stars Almost perfect!! 21st Century Schizoid Man is the best track in this album, with heavy riffs and distorted vocals, breathtaking solos and duets of guitar and saxophones, became one of the classic prog songs from KC. I Talk to The Wind is a gorgeus ballad, with poetic lyrics, sung beautifully by Greg Lake, endig with a delicated flute solo. Epitaph is a mellotron drenched song, with great acoustic parts too, is the darkest song in this album. Moonchild starts as a beautiful ballad, but after the 3min starts an instrumental experimentation that drawns until the 12min. I donīt think this is a bad song, but the weakest in this album, and sometimes i skip this track. The Court of The Crimson King, have dark symphonic elements as Epitaph, with strong presence of mellotrons, heroic vocals and a very pleasant flute solo. A true prog classic album, 5 stars
