IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON

Yes this is "In the Court of the Crimson King" part 2, but with enough variety to make sound to make it slightly better than its predecessor. The biggest change is the inclusion of more up-tempo songs juxtaposed to the band's early signature symphonic pieces, giving the listener to feel some sort of adrenaline after the savage onslaught of the excellent "Pictures of a City". The playing and vocals are good throughout and I would say better than in "In the Court..."; fans of early KC will find only enjoyment throughout this solid sophomore release from one of the genre's most celebrated group.
