Album jams hard - prefer this and the other 80s records over Larks Tongues in Aspic or Starless and Bible Black

Besides Requiem, the music here is not very interesting at all.

Fuck yeah, Neurotica!!! But this album contains more snoozers than any other of their albums.
Belew is definitely not good enough of a singer for voice centered pop songs like two hands.
I dunno 'bout the review though. Besides being tbt it focuses way too much on lyrical topic to do justice to a KC album

Neal and Jack and Me is a jam. Album is fun, even if a bit comedic

The opener is cool. Sartori rule. Neurotica is sick.

I see this as near the same quality as Discipline. I wonder if most of the lower ratings has more to do with them not liking New Wave. That's one of the main reasons why I like it. As far as prog rock bands go, King Crimson probably did a better job covering that style.

I agree and disagree at the same time with you MUNGOLOID. I disagree because, for me, "Beat" is far away of being as good as "Discipline", and it has nothing to do with new wave. I myself like of many bands of that movement. Besides, "Discipline" is, probably the highest exponent of the new wave on King Crimson's music.
By the other hand, I completely agree with you. King Crimson probably did a better job covering that style than all the other prog bands of the 70's. So, is why I think that the words of Bruford explain perfectly well, at the time, that feeling:
" When you want to hear where music is going in the future, you put on a King Crimson album."
- Bill Bruford, 1995

Yeah i agree that Discipline was the highest mark when it came to KC's contribution to New Wave. It probably helped that KC had a revolving lineup of musicians compared to other prog bands and that Fripp and Belew worked with other musicians of that style.

Finally gave this a good front-to-back listen. Couple of good tracks, but mostly filler. Still have to separate the two, but Neurotica and Sartori in Tangier stood. But Two Hands has gotta be one of KC's worst songs.
Still a decent album.

^perfectly sums up how I see it. Definitely the weakest studio album of KC

Weakest KC album for me too, still haven't listened to TCL though.

TCL is VERY underrated. like the end nineties version of larks tongues and red (the songs, not the albums). Dark, intense, brooding, maniacal.

God this era of KC is untouchable. This would be way better received if it wasn't judged against their previous albums
