Gotta say, I wouldn't bet the farm either on it or against it, and the "wet blanket" hasn't changed much about that.

It's gonna happen or not, and I only believe it when it's actually out, but that there is at least a bit of hope is nice.

Very exciting news, indeed. I wasn't expecting to see another KC album, so this is just cream on the cake. And a delicious one, indeed.

Nice, I didn't expect this. Though I do believe if one band can come back with the spark that made them famous, that's King Crimson.

1. No
2. Red or Islands from the 70's era. Discipline from the Belew era. In terms of compilations, you might try The Young Person's Guide from 1976, or any of the excellent compilation albums, including Cirkus (live) as detailed here on PA.

This is exciting news, and it being King Crimson, I am curious as to what it will sound like. Even if it sounds like some older version of the band, I look forward to hearing it.

After the Beat tour and the heart scare I think it lit a fire. Also the way the world is, it seems like the darkness that Crimson seems to feed on has grown far too much to ignore. Exciting news, even if I prefer the 70's stuff.
Sjå, my first album in 25+ years is out now: https://jeffjahn.bandcamp.com/album/sj   I am told its quite original

The return of Michael Myers? It must be Halloween!

Is that a pig I see flying past my window?


A new KC album is fantastic news and I have no doubt it's going to be excellent too!

Let’s hope for the best. Something tells me they will be very aware of that sentiment amongst fans. I just hope they don’t include “radical action” and “excuse for the blues” ( I cannot remember the exact name of the song atm ) . Since they covered them on monkey mind already.   

My favorite prog /Rock band of all time no matter what. A legacy of great (and very interesting) music.

At first this sounded like clickbait to me, the thought of a new King Crimson albums sounds too good to be true (they ended seemingly for good several years ago and Fripp is 79 as of now). I wouldn't get excited until Fripp confirms this.

I wouldn't mind a final album if it ends the band's career on a high note.
