IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

Quite simply the finest Progressive Rock album ever produced, maybe rock in general. Artistic, historic, symphonic, dynamic, enigmatic, melodic, poetic, romantic, anthemic, seismic... and what's more a classic in every sense.

If Prog was a religion, effigies of this album would be burnt by non following extremists. You need not even consider what else was going on at the time in music, but only to listen to the album start to finish to realise how well every element slots together, and just how easily each song 'fits' in it's place on the album. I think enough has been written about the musicality of In The Court... in previous reviews so I will end by saying that if you haven't heard it yet... why ? And if you have, then you knew all this already didn't you...
