De-Loused, but not by a large margin. The Power to Believe is my favourite KC album since the 70s, hands down.

Do you cry yourself to sleep at night knowing you weren't even a twinkle in your fathers eye when this fantasy renaissance era was taking place? How many of your idols have you seen front stage in their heyday? Oh, that's right ... Zero, zip, zilch, nada!

And yet, I can listen to these classics every single day for the rest of my life without EVER having to hear anything made by post-89 aberrants! Recording technology is truly the greatest blessing conferred upon humanity.

Unprogressive [Un-pruh-gres-iv]
1. Clinging to a past era, unable to move on and experience new things. 2. An automative response machine that spouts the same predictable lines. For example: "Robert Fripp finds WalterDigsTunes to be unprogressive and thus quite uncool."

Progress has been dead for ages. Ask the mars volta. They're not doing anything that wasn't done in the 70s.

And yet your idol still finds influences from "post 89 hacks", so your praise for The Power to Believe is quite ironic indeed. If you think bands haven't progressed in the past forty or twenty years then you truly are as dense as I originally thought. From equipment and technology to the overall sound, things have drastically changed. You're predictably going to say, "yeah, for the worse." Truth is there's always been more bad than good, and you have to find those diamonds in the ruff. You just don't realize it because you weren't even born in the time you romanticize about. All you did was come along and pick up the remnants of music that's withstood the test of time. You don't do any searching and find new music because you don't have an ear of your own. That's the only explanation for the unfounded garbage you spew based solely on prejudgements. To be honest I don't think you have the retrospect to contemplate anything I've said so I'm only wasting my own time ...

Two very good albums. King Crimson's one is excellent conservative one. TMV's one is crazy progressive explosion of the time of release.

God, that's tough. I went with The Power to Believe, but only very slightly.
