Agree with both you guys. None of em are really good imo, but Hot Seat is perhaps one of the biggest crimes against silence ever recorded. |
indeed although Love Beach is recognisable as an ELP album at least
ITHS was meant to save the ailing Victory Records at the time. Emerson and Palmer could both barely play after having just had operations on their hands. Oh dear oh dear oh dear |
Not just that. It was so important to Victory that the album be a success that they interfered too much. Hiring songwriters, musicians and a producer that would not allow the longer epic they had planned. It's a shadow of an ELP album. Has some good moments though.

I've never heard Under The Hot Seat or In Wraps. I can think of three Genesis albums I would rate lower than Touch. I've always thought Eyes gets unfairly bashed although it's nothing special. AMLOR was always the worst thing released under the 'Pink Floyd' name I've thought. Beat is a lot better than TOAPP.

I don't even consider Beat to be KC's worst album. Of those I vote Beat.

Keep in mind I haven't even heard all of these - some of them (like Open Your Eyes) are sufficiently deep into lukewarm periods for the bands in question that I just haven't bothered to check them out, especially considering all the bad press they get. That being understood, my vote is for Beat, simply because it reeeeeeeeally doesn't deserve the miserable rating it's got. I found The Construction of Light to be markedly worse (I'd rather have KC experimenting slightly outside the bounds of prog than KC going through the motions), and as for it having an average rating over 0.80 points below Islands or In the Wake of Poseidon? Nah, dudes, come on, Beat wasn't that bad and those two albums weren't that amazing.

If Larks' Tongues was on here I would have voted for it but it's by no means the worst KC album (actually their best ) I think you need to read the poll. Beat was the KC album on here not Larks' Tongues or Easy Money(the song is annoying, I don't despise that much though). I prefer Invisible Touch any day over Beat . "I need to feel your heartbeat, so close it feels like mine" . For KC to do something like that is truly . I know I know they supposedly evolve with every Era(when in reality they change line-ups like babies get their diapers changed). I think you guys really need to get over me not liking KC, big deal. On the original post I said nothing that implied King Crimson, it's all inside your heads

I actually thought you dug Crimso heaps, just not Easy Money.......and Beat was more innovative and Proggier than Invisible Touch.......hey, we like what we like - I'm not judging, just nudging the pot a bit
