4 stars This one shows us a new King Crimson on about every sense. The first title track is amazing: scary, complex, powerful, innovative, shocking. The second one is basically a hard rock one, with powerful guitar and violin sections. The rest's not as good but "Easy Money" is a classic (a very special song too, but I can't seem to realize why). "The Talking Drum" is an interesting progression with some eastern feel and lots of violins, but the other two aren't so good: "Exiles" is pretty but boring when compared to the other songs, and "Book Of Saturday" is a pretty ballad with a good melody but completely unnecesary. The jams here are good. If you hate KC's improvisations this one will appeal to you, since the jams here are good and there's nothing like "Providence" or "Moonchild". If you, however, prefer those long improvs, try their next album instead.
