5 stars I'm not a huge 'Starless and Bible Black' there is too much improv, and while it's good, it just seems pointless to be honest. Side 1 has a couple actual songs on it, with some interesting lyrics. Lots of boring improvisation on here, I get that for some, this is the best King Crimson album, capturing what they're like in a live setting, but for me it doesn't do it. The ONLY decent song is 'Fracture' which every time I listen to I feel disappointing, It has a really cool album cover though. Might be my least favorite original KC album, at least 'Lizard' has a nice title track. Maybe i'm not cultured enough for this album, it just doesn't click. Sue me.
