There was something magical and mystical about Court from the very first time I heard it so many decades ago. Crimson never quite hit that same note ever again. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Larks'. But I prefer all the other albums from Discipline onward more.

Larks' Tongues in Aspic for me, I loved In the Court... when I first heard it, but I just haven't returned to it in many years. Lizard is the KC album I have returned to the most. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

Larks ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Still Court over Larks for me. Some albums has its own strong aura of sorts. In many ways KC's debut changed the direction of music. Along with a handful of others they paved the way for another kind of popular music. And they did so beautifully. I felt it over 20 years later when I was introduced to it. |

| Larks' title tracks are really powerful, but the effect kind of wore off after a few listens for me, and the rest of the tracks don't really measure up. Court is still a great listen all the way through and 21st Century Schizoid Man never gets old. Court it is. |

Larks' Tongues in Aspic even it's much newer acquaintance of mine, so it's not that easy for me to compare. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

| I can’t vote. Doing so would be like talking to the wind. Both albums are easy money to me. |

I love both albums, but I think that Larks extended what was amazing on ITCOTCK over a whole album, where their debut album has also some linger-on moments (but not that serious, though). ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |
