5 stars I recently got into this album and it's instantly become one of my favorites. Having known King Crimson only from the debut and ITWOP, I've always been interested in getting to know their slightly later stages more well. This is a perfect example of keeping a band going despite frequently-changing lineups.

It's dark and mad, but still beautiful in it's execution. The riffs are serious and brutal, and the occasional jazz additions to the music only enhance the variety. Never better is this combined in my favorite track "One More Red Nightmare", which is just fantastic. Not to say the rest tracks are even slightly flawed in comparison, not at all.

Overall, this album is so good that it's motivated me to check out more of King Crimson's later work, and I suggest you do the same, starting here.

CinemaZebra | 5/5 |
