IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

21st century... is a fantastic rocking prog anthem that is incredible from from Greg Lake's distorted vocals strait to the end. The middle segemnt with the duet of guitar and sax is really great and acts as a creacendo up where the vocals scream back in

I Talk to the Wind is still the most beautiful prog song that i have ever heard. the delicate flute work is simply astounding in this song, and the not so special vocals of Greg Lake some how seem very beautiful in this song

Epitaph has magnificent use of the mellotron on this song make it great. Lake's vocals come in quiet in the beginning but the y get louder over the course of the song.

Moonchild starts off as another great song with Fripp's fantastic guitar tone, but why did they need to add the stupid period of random noises. This song is the only problem with the whole album.

In the court closes things off with a bang. this song is so amazing. whenever the chorus breaks in its like getting smacked in the face, in a good way. every one who likes prog should buy this album.
