5 stars This is a fantastic album, prog or not. I suppose it is progressive because Krimson was breaking new ground with that one. You get the cutting-edge experimental stuff, sure - but the experiment succeeds so completely that on the second or third listen it's not experimental anymore. Each song is perfectly crafted and balanced between beat and interlude, cold metallic noise and warm textures, despair and optimism. Despite the new direction that KC was taking, their sound (based on dissonance and strangeness) is basically intact and is instantly recognizable. I suppose that New Wave had a big influence on KC at the time, but then so many prog bands have links to the New Wave movement (including Genesis and Yes), that it is no longer a "Cryme". It is without doubt a masterpiece because of the quality of the writing, arrangements and sound, as well as originality.
