King Crimson is one of the innovators of progressive rock even though Robert Fripp doesn't like King Crimson to be called progressive rock because he feels that the term is very limiting to his music...through their lengthy existance, they have put out a slew of diverse albums of music and have undergone many evolutionary changes in their style...a lot of King Crimson fans like to say that the early 80s, with Discipline and Beat, was their best period...I would have to agree even though no King Crimson album is a bad album with the exception being of course The ConstruKction of Light which was simply just a rehash of older material...

Elio Red Nightmare Posts: 4920	Permalink 20.03.2009 - 20:02 Elio Red Nightmare Posts: 4920 I recently listened their discography. Red is a fucking beast, one of the best alum ever and my fav in prog rock. The Court is spoiled by Moonchild useless wankfest. Islands is good too. For some reasons I found Larks bad and Starless so and so, even if I was said they were among the best. Discipline is great, and I wish Beat and its follower would have never been released. Their recent material is great again. Wow, I described a discography in few lines. xD ---- IntoPlighT said: "Slipknot is 15 years old how the fuck is that Nu metal?" BEST. QUOTE. EVER. Loading...

Thats one of the early albums that I don't like too much from them. It only has two or three good tracks, but hey, that's just like... ugh, my opinion, man. And I've never listened to anything beyond Red... never have....(probably) never will. ---- That rug really tied the room together, did it not? Loading...

Kap'N Korrupt Account deleted	Permalink 12.08.2011 - 05:12 Kap'N Korrupt Account deleted Has anyone listened the new King Crimson project album called Scarcity Of Miracles? Its a well done album...just a little slow and a tad too experimental..not a lot of hooks...a lot of it just tends to get to nowhere fast...but its very dreamy and atmopsheric... Loading...
fabregassed Account deleted	Permalink 13.08.2011 - 02:04 fabregassed Account deleted Love King Crimson, of the albums I own by them, In Wake of Poseidon is a bit disappointing. Basically a carbon copy of the debut. I mean the title track has the same depressing drumming as Epitaph. Loading...

I recently just started collecting King Crimson albums, really do like Red and Discipline. I'm hoping to find money soon to purchase Three of a Perfect Pair, Starless and Bible Black, and I think it was either The ConstruKction or THRAK I was recommended. Anyway, do plan on stocking up.

Dude they're not on itunes, they will NEVER be on spotify. like Tool. Anyway KC is a fantastic and influential band, of course. Red is also my favorite, Probably like every other KC fan on the planet. I hear the influence of that album everywhere. ---- Do you need what I need?

Netzach Planewalker Staff Posts: 1611	Permalink 11.07.2016 - 19:44 Netzach Planewalker Staff Posts: 1611 I discovered King Crimson not more than a year ago and have been obsessed with them ever since... Some albums are completely different from each other (due to lineup changes mostly) but I always find something exceptional when listening to them... Can't wait to see them in Stockholm this fall (30 september)! My favorite albums are probably "Larks' Tongues In Aspic", "Red" and "Three Of A Perfect Pair"... Closely followed by the debut, "Lizard" and "THRAK". "Islands" is underrated I think, but the vocals and production are so-so on that album. Need to get Steven Wilson's 40th Anniversary remasters, they've received great reviews. Loading...
Enteroctopus Posts: 155	Permalink 26.07.2016 - 23:32 Enteroctopus Posts: 155 Am giving Providence a listen right now. Starts out very much like a Mahavishnu Orchestra piece, but I'm wondering when it's going to pick up a theme. Oh, there we go. Only 5:15 of noodling to establish a groove! I've tried to get into KC a few times before but it never stuck. Maybe if I'm in the mood for something fusiony. I think if I were drinking this would be nice to listen to. Right now at work it's a no. Reminds me of Miles Davis' work with McLaughlin. I was really into that stuff about 10-15 years ago. This sounds like it could be a bonus track for Bitches Brew, lol.

Oh, and now they are starting a tour with four drummers... Also, what would you say if I stated that King Crimson kind of invented metal before Black Sabbath ever did? Loading...

Bad English Tage Westerlund Posts: 61012	Permalink 18.10.2020 - 21:39 Bad English Tage Westerlund Posts: 61012 Gordon Haskell, who played bass and sang for KING CRIMSON nearly five decades ago, has died. He was 74 years old. From facebook Gordon Haskell's Facebook page is reporting that Gordon has died. His time in KC wasn't a particularly happy part of his long career but his work on In The Wake Of Poseidon and in particular, Lizard is much admired in the Crimson community.
