IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

Not my favorite King Crimson album, I prefer 'Red', but it is certainly one hell of a debut. If it was not for the ultimate ProG song '21st Century Schizoid Man' I would have rated this album lower. I purchased this album a few years ago and have listened to it eagerly, trying to understand what makes this album so critically acclaimed. I soon realized that the album's ability to challenge the listener is what makes it so great. After all this is what ProG is all about.
