king crimson

King Crimson aren't underrated. Maybe among non prog fans but they are typically one of the first prog bands people discover these days (or any day).

I don't know about during that 95-03 period, but The Power to Believe has become one of their best rated albums. Also, at the very last stretch of their career, during the 2010's touring, they were indeed very greatly appreciated... by prog fans, that is.

I'm not so keen on Power to Believe and ConstruKction. I like Thrak a lot though, and particularly I am very happy having seen their 2010s-2020s incarnation with the three drummers live on stage. OK they played mostly old material, but the rearrangements were something very special. The live albums from this period are also very good as far as I know them, so 1995-2003 should definitely not be called "final stretch of their career" (good work was also still coming from ProjeKcts), and I prefer their "final final stretch" if that was actually final.

I can happily listen to just about all of their albums no matter who is in the band, except for thrakattak and projekct X .   I like toapp better than discipline and beat . Court Poseidon and Lizard are my favorites. Jakko did a good job overall on the last tour and having Mel along really aced it. PtBelieve is good except for all that slow Bude stuff IMO.

ConstruKction is densely recorded, and I think heavily compressed and not very dynamic because of it. A very flat sound throughout...  Otherwise a great album.

Never heard of them.

my question is simple. was king crimson undeappricaited during the final strech of their career? (1995-2003)(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8e7ac3c0e8735c7a',t:'MTczMjQ2NTYyOC4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; visibility: ;">
