"Larks' Tongues in Aspic" Vs. "Red"

Not exactly how the polls are run, but ok.

Anyway, both are great but I vote for Larks tongues in aspic. 

I don't have enough points to make an actual poll.

I find larks more to my liking but both are great albums and there is no wrong answer. 

That said one my biggest problems with red is the repetitiousness of the title track. That main riff just goes on and on and even after the cello part it comes back and just does the same thing over and over again. It would have been a great three or four minute track at the most but at over six minutes it's a bit much with too little variation(I have the same issue with cry baby cry by the Beatles). Also, the improv piece Providence isn't bad but it's still an improv piece which means it just sort of meanders with no real direction. I prefer the one on S&BB. Finally, I don't like how "starless" winds up. It's an intense tune with some great playing but towards the end it gets too chaotic(and even jammy) and just kind of loses me. So for me LTIA is more consistent with no real flaws. It is a crazy album though which is what I like about it. I do think both albums(and also S&BB)are real classics though and probably KC's best period just slightly above the disjointed lineup on the first two albums.
