The 2 LTIA tracks are hard to bear: I don't really hear the music in it, just a collection of random instrument parts all stuck together to make people believe Fripp and Co. had some "great plan" for music or something.

Hard to pick one. LTIA part 1 is a grower and it has some magic, so I vote for Book of Saturdays,

Yeah, I guess I understand that. It was difficult for me to decide if I like that song or not, and then, I mostly like the live versions, I don't really enjoy the studio version that much.

I love The Talking Drum. Really, all of the songs are very good / great. But since I "had" to pick something I picked Book of Saturdays.

I didn't expect Talking Drum to "win" this one. I really enjoy that one, and as a combo with Larks Toungues part 2 they are the highlight of the album for me. I guess I have to vote for Book of Saturday... even though if I follow my logic for voting on Selling England by the Pound I would have to go for Larks Toungues part 1, for I don't really find much melody to enjoy from it, and it's much longer than Book of Saturday (actually, it is Larks part 1 that won't let me consider this one a 5 star album, while I could pass Book of Saturday).

What have you people done to The Talking Drum?!

Easy money isn't much of a track imo. Talking drum is a bit of filler too
|

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Book Of Saturday, if only because it's the shortest. Still good, though.

Book Of Saturday is so beautiful, Fripp's guitar, Wetton's bass lines and vocals, no way I'm voting for that one.
If I'll have to choose I'll give it to The Talking Drum, it's not bad in any way just the least interesting.

I don't know, the only one I even remember what it sounds like is Part 1.

Went with Talking Drum, basically because I had to go with something. Overall, a fantastic album that doesn't have a bad track...
