RED

Essential heavy progressive! King Crimson certainly decided to rock out on this album. It's certainly a bit minimalist when compared to Larks Tongues in Aspic. It's like they said, "hey guys, let's cut the crap and just rock out!" Bill Bruford's drumming in this album may be his best ever (and maybe the best ever in progressive rock). The bass is crunchy as hell and certainly conjures up visions of the work Geddy Lee would later do with Rush. The guitar and mellotron on this album are Robert Fripp's gift to the progressive rock fan who likes a little grit in their water. A masterpiece! Highly Recommended!
