my question is simple. was king crimson undeappricaited during the final strech of their career? (1995-2003)(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8e7ac3c0e8735c7a',t:'MTczMjQ2NTYyOC4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; visibility: ;">

No. Basically everything after the 70s is nonsense.

I'd say they were underappreciated. I am a ConstruKtion defender through and through!

I'm going to overlook your opinion just because of your Cardiacs avatar. 😅

The ConstruKction of Light is a great album. The World's My Oyster Soup Kitchen Floor Wax Museum (I think I wrote it correctly) is a weak track, but the rest are very good.

Keep in mind Discipline introduced KC to a whole new generation who were blown away by this "new band" and their technical & songwriting feats, and revitalized them to an older crowd who had written them off or just forgotten them.   If you were a musician in the early 80s and not listening to it, you were missing out big time.   Even HwWYHtbHW and TPtB was influencing young players who didn't know progressive rock was a thing until they'd be at a Tool concert or something in 2001/02 and see the band open the show.

ConstruKction is densely recorded, and I think heavily compressed and not very dynamic because of it. A very flat sound throughout...  Otherwise a great album.

 Like Thyroidglands says... oyster soup...meh.  

Heavy Construkction is the go-to for hearing what TCoL has to offer. 100% Soooo much better.

My appreciation  of King Crimson is all over the place. I probaly like the latter part of their career more than a lot of earlier stuff but that is mainly because of Power To Believe. I can't stand 80's KC and mostly don't like Lizard, Islands, LTIA but like some of ITCOTKC, ITWOP and Starless and Bible Black. But for the brilliant Red I would not care about that period of the band. However they were an experimental band and pushed boundaries and so they exhibit many of the traits that are supposed to be what progressive rock was about. And they didn't do 'AOR' ever and that is massively to their credit.

I can happily listen to just about all of their albums no matter who is in the band, except for thrakattak and projekct X .   I like toapp better than discipline and beat . Court Poseidon and Lizard are my favorites. Jakko did a good job overall on the last tour and having Mel along really aced it. PtBelieve is good except for all that slow Bude stuff IMO.
