My favorite KC album.
Although Starless and Bible Black supersedes it on Tuesdays and Thursdays between the hours of 5 and 11 pm. Edited by HackettFan - November 13 2018 at 19:56 |

This is the album that got my attention from KC. I had listened to the earlier things and thought they were good but this configuration of the band hooked my immediately. It helped that I saw them perform most of the album live before I actually heard the album. I saw KC perform this album at a concert in Central Park NYC. I went on purpose to see the opening act (who I believe was Buddy Miles).

I was initially very disappointed in Larks Tongues because I'd bought USA first. The live versions of those songs made the studio album sound really light in comparison. That said, I quickly learned to appreciate the lighter approach and Jamie Muir-ification of the album with the odd percussion and disembodied voices which appear throughout.
Not my favourite of the Wetton/Bruford era, but not my least favorite either

This is the point at which I adjusted my expectations of KC albums so that I would be satisfied with 1.5 tracks that I liked. The half track is "Book of Saturday" and the whole track is "Exiles", even if Wetton's vocals on the latter leave me longing for Gordon Haskell!

I agree that its a classic. Disagree that its not accessible. I got into it almost immediately when I first played it many many moons ago

A classic. Not too accessible but a classic.
