Incredible experimental rock of King Crimson reaches its highest point.Every time I put it on I get a shiver, however to get into this album I needed about half year. Not till than I realize how perfect and truly progressive "Larks' Tongues in Aspic" is. With this effort King Crimson made yet another revolution not only in progressive rock but also in experimental music as whole. The improvisatory approach is most to see on the title song which first part opens and the second closes the album. Heavy guitar riff, using of electronic devices and percussion parts are only as example for innovative work on the record. Unmentionable would be also the finest Mellotron and violin play. Unless every track on the album is great, the outstanding highlight is "Easy Money", catchy, violent and heavy track, which will be for years the trademark of the band. Also the short ballad "Book of Saturday" plays its part, adding with Mellotron touch of magic. King Crimson has so many faces that it's very hard to point out the first-rate album but this effort is undeniable one of their finest. Still impossible to compare with pastoral "Islands" or emotional "ITCOTCK" this album makes its own history. It's essential and still up-to-date.
