THE POWER TO BELIEVE

Their best album since "Discipline" and the best album of this century (so far). There are some flaws, though: I'd prefer Fripp & Co. to stay away from things like "Level Five" or "Elektrik", since they are really uninspired and starting to get boring. However, the rest of the songs show that KC moved in the right direction with this LP: "Eyes Wide Open" is a wodnerful pop song, "Facts Of Life" continues this latest blues experiments they've been doing and it's great, and "Happy With..." is a nu-metal song...yes, you heard right: this kinda sounds like some Rob Zombie song, but it's good enough as to be enjoyable, thanks to its powerful riff and weirdness. The title track is actually 4 tracks, the first one being just an a capella intro, the second one an amazing pseudo-ambient tune (with things they used on their previous EP) which flows perfectly, the 3rd is simmilar but not as great and the 4th...well, it's just some coda. But the best song here is "Dangerous Curves", a terribly powerful instrumental which grows and grows and grows in an amazing way that makes most modern electronic music seem silly. A classic! This is really different from how their early albums sound, this sounds modern and with a current production. Some people won't like it since, well, let's say they aren't as innovative anymore. They are running out of ideas but the new additions to their sound are pretty interesting and makes me think that they could come up with another masterpiece...even if they're old.
