IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

It's impossible for me to explain how great this album is. It was one of the greatest back then, and it's still one of the greatest today. The amount of technical precision, complexity, and creativity in the music and lyrics makes this a timeless classic in the progressive rock genre. I'm pretty sure most people have listened to it and know about it, but for those who don't know, this was the first real progressive rock album. From the jazz chaos, proto metal, and anti- war explosion of the first song, 21st Century Schizoid Man, to the absolute haunting beauty of the almost symphonic sounding Epitaph, every song on this album is a masterpiece in its own right. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't yet, as it is one of the most important albums in the genre. I would go more in depth with the album, but everything I need to say about the album has already been said, and I don't want to just accidentally copy another reviewer on this site. With that being said, this would definitely be a 5/5.
