THE POWER TO BELIEVE

The Power To Believe is one of the most important works of the 21st century. I would suggest that it still does not surpass the material of the 73-74 era, but what does? It is my firm belief that maybe 15 to 20 years after the album release will it be appreciated for what it is. This album is quite simply a look at music of the future. In a way one could say this album is the modern Red, which I actually agree with. The differences are great however between these two masterpieces. Red is quite jazzy in actuality, where TPTB is more interested in sonic texturing in rhythm. I use this album to show off my stereo because it has the greatist sound quality and bass depth I have ever heard! Although the album itself is quite heavy overall, it is it's psychedelic qualities that make it the amazing journey that it is. I would not do the reader any justice by reviewing individual tracks since the album is a continuous whole so I won't. If you are a King Crimson fan, or a fan of ground breaking music do yourself a favor and get this record.
