Paul, has your opinion changed at all in these few years?

^^ I just discovered Adrian Belew was the vocalist on the Discipline album. I didn't like his voice at all to be honest.

Yes, the rich tones of Greg Lake on the first two King Crimson albums are what really made those two albums shine for me. I also liked the use of the Mellotron on those first two albums, especially on "Epitaph". I really didn't like the vocals at all on the "Discipline" album though, and it's not an album I'd be inclined to listen to again any time soon.

I'm with you on Discipline certainly. I'm a bit obsessed with Red though to the point that I have tended to ignore the other albums. However I'm glad you like the albums with Greg Lake on if nothing else! BTW If I was to pick the only song from Red that you would like then I would have expected Fallen Angel and definitely not Starless and Bible Black! But its good that you appreciate the latter |

Discipline Lizard Red Three of a Perfect Pair Beat Lark's Tongues In the Court Thrak Starless and Bible Black The Power to Believe Wake of Poseidon Islands ConstruKction of Light There's not a single one I'd give less that 3 stars, and 3 stars means "good".
And this one I like a lot, too! I'd probably put it around where Power to Believe is in my list.

Yes, I've only listened to King Crimson's first eight albums so far, but the Discipline album was the least appealing of all (to put it politely) in my opinion, so I'm not looking forward to hearing the albums that followed it. I gave the Red album a three-star rating, because it contains the song Starless which I really like, but there weren't any other stand-out songs on the Red album for me. I was surprised to find it on the Red album though, because I'd naturally assumed Starless would be on the Starless and Bible Black album, but then again, Robert Fripp has always been unpredictable. Do you remember his bizarre appearance on the Mr & Mrs game show with his wife Toyah Wilcox?

Ok, I was like "WTF did he find those particular ratings", lmao. So KC gets less interesting with each release, regarding your ears?

Yes, they're my own genuine star ratings and they're the same ratings I'll give when I eventually get around to rating King Crimson's albums officially.

Are these your own star ratings or did you pull these from somewhere? Genuinely curious!
