Album Rating: 5.0
This, Larks, and Discipline are my forever top three
If you compare this album and Court track-by-track idk it could be pretty close, not to mention Moonchild easily beats out Providence as the "experimental improv" cut from those respective albums. But yeah Starless, One More Red Nightmare, Fallen Angel clears just about everything else on Court for me... Court still #4 though

Providence is the clear weak link here but Moonchild is a literal nothing track outside of the first couple mins which is admittedly lovely. Not lovely enough to save the remaining 10 minutes of the track. If you cut that though, it would be much closer for me. I think think Court is great, but I’d put it prob at 5th best overall, below this, Larks, Discipline, and Beat. That’s a hot take, but Beat is crazy underrated.
Legendary band overall, despite their last 3 albums being their worst by far.

I agree, this is a legendary band. But, THRAK and, especially, The Power To Believe are two great works.

The Power to Believe is actually in my top 5 Crimson albums. Fantastic record, and I love that they went for a darker, more industrial take on their sound for that one... Level Five is among my all-time favorite prog instrumentals

Level 5 is one of the tracks I like off of Power to Believe, and it’s the best of their last 3 albums. THRAK is just borderline bad tho. Walking On Air hard eclipses everything, but People and One Time are also solid. Everything else ranges from meh to downright awful for me

I agree. The Power To Believe is an amazing work. I also love their option to go to a darker and industrial environment. Not necessarily in my top five but very close to it. Maybe in my top six or seven.

"Moonchild is a literal nothing track outside of the first couple mins which is admittedly lovely."
Heard this take for decades and I don't get it. It's a pretty beautiful improv section, albeit avant garde and out-there (I mean this is KC we're talking about). Great pacing before the finale title track too. I think it works
Aight if we're doing top 5's
1. Red
2. Larks'
3. Discipline
4. Court
5. Thrak
Power to Believe is good but it's fallen off for me recently

I absolutely love how Robert Fripp seems like the exact opposite of a guitar rock star. No long hair, he wears glasses, plays sitting down on a chair, dresses like a gent, has no tattoos or anything extravagant, and is an absolute guitar genius who doesn't rely on pentatonics
have to respect that!
