I agree with you. It is a great album, but not there best. I think Larks' Toungue..., Red, Discipline, and possibly TPTB are better. Moonchild is deffinatly the worst, but all the rest are solid to great. All fans of prog need to hear this album, IMO. And, yes, it is hyped because it started it all, but that's ok, i think it can stand up to that fame, almost anyway.

I think The Power To Believe stands up to the classic stuff quite well.

The Eyes Wide Open DVD set would make any open-minded individual a believer in the beauty of modern Crimson.

I think The Power To Believe is excellent in its own right without having to stand up next to classic stuff.

Krimson has done much better stuff. People seem to prop this album because it's the original prog rock pioneer...but that doesn't automatically make it good. Don't get me wrong, half of it is good, like 21st Century Schizoid Man and I Talk To The Wind...but the title track has moments of genius too scattered in between. Also, Moonchild isn't too great. Pretty at first, then just bad.

I liek the album, but Red, Lark's Tongue, Discipline, and even some of their recent stuff is much better in my opinion. I'd put them at:

1. Red
2. Lark's Tongue
3. ITCOTCK
4. Discipline
5. Three of a Perfect Pair

Just cause they pioneered the sound doesn't mean there isn't  better....once again, I LIKE ITCOTCK. I LOVE KING CRIMSON. Just ITCOTCK isn't their best in my ears...it's not as creative as Lark's Tongue or as beautiful as Red can get.
