5 stars Milestone album of the century! That's what can I say about this album. This was the one of most important album of all time. The sound of rock music change directionally by the release of this album.

The album was overally very complex. The structure of this album was bizarre. The first track, titled "21st Century Schizoid Man" was very powerful. The theme and the structure of this song was absolutely brilliant. Check out the middle section of this song! Then, "I Talk to the Wind" is slower track, which also the shortest track is this album. Track 3, "Epitaph" was argueably the best of this album, yet the most popular song of King Crimson. The song 's atmosphere is very heavy and dominated by the sound of mellotrons. Flip to side 2 and starts with "Moonchild", the longest track of this album. This song was purely psychedelic experimental. And the last song was the title track, there'sn't much differents to side 1's "Epitaph", this song was dominated by mellotrons.

5 stars is fit to the album that changes the world's music.
