5 stars Simply put, this is one of the most experimental album of the 70's and that's saying something. Fripp again reformed the band with wonderful new members, as we have former Yes drummer Bruford, a crazy new percussionist with Muir, a violinist in Cross, and a vocalist and bass player in Wetton. And now the album is quite weird if you don't have an open mind for experimentation, this is clearly shown for example in the title track ( both parts). What we have there is more or less structured chaos, if that makes any sense. Definitively those are the best songs of the album. The other tracks are pretty good, with my personal favourite being Easy Money with great bass work from Wetton. You have to keep in mind that this isn't symphonic prog like the first albums, this is more on the lines of hard rock influence. Anyway this is a wonderful gem, my favourite Crimson album. Recommended for those looking for experimentation.
