IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

This is my very first review on this site. So, it's an easy choice which album to review first. The first review must be the first real prog album. In the court of the crimson king. Well, I don't have to talk about each song. I think everyone on this site knows all about them. I will just explain my vote.

The only weakness in this album is the 4th song: Moonchild. It's starts quite good. But the middle section is just boring. Serveral minutes of a useless jam session. That's really the only bad thing I can tell about this album. The first and the last song on this album are absolutely wonderfull. The 2 remaining songs aren't masterpieces, but still very enjoyable.

So, this makes me decide to give Crimson King's first album 4 stars. When you really want to get to know this band (for the few people on this sites that doesn't know them yet), start with the albums: Red and Larks' tongues in aspic, less historical significance but better music.
