5 stars IMHO, the best KC album. After constant musicians changes , mr. Fripp found in Wetton and Bruford two real phenomena, and Red is a worthy conclusion for this fantastic trio. All songs are wonderful, but two songs are to be highlighted: Red is perhaps the first progressive metal piece in rock history, with its atmosphere almost horror. Starless is one of the candidate songs to represent the whole progressive movement: fantastic melody, dreaming guitar and mellotron phrases, one disturbing central part with an indefinable drums time, one ending with an unrepeatable sounds explosion. We must also remember the beautiful melody of "Fallen angel" and the enthralling final of "One more red nightmare". 5 stars and much more
