RED

This album is my favorite Crimson album. The tracks are dark and heavy, but remain symphonic, nonetheless. This album can probably be called progressive metal, seeing how chops heavy it really is. I love every track on this record save for Providence, which is only mediocre. Some of these tracks could've made it onto the radio--they are very accessible-- if disc jockeys were a little more openminded and not so darn commercial and worried about money. I recommend this album to anyone who does not consider themselves a KC fan. For anyone looking to get into Crimson or progressive rock in general, this is a great place to start, as there is some great riffing on this record that can serve to transition you're rock sensibilities to a more progressive format.
