IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

This album truly deserves all the praise it gets. The quality in my opinion manifests itself through the overall atmosphere that the musicians create. The album manages to evoke your imagination so powerfully that you could almost smell this Court, and visualize vividly these rusty chains of prison moon, or the cracking wall on which the prophets wrote, or the funreal pyre, or the Sun on the mountain.

I am not going to talk about all the tracks seperately. I'd say it is a very impressive achievement that is stunningly loaded with energy, a musical madness, insanity at the gates of hell, and an experience that stays with you. Lacking the words to describe the feeling that is evoked specifically by this album I must end this review here and let the music do the rest of the job.
