RED

This is another album from King Crimson which fails to do much for me. There is no doubting the quality of the musicians, the rhythm section being one of the best around, several excellent guest musicians appear and Fripp can certainly play too. However, the material does not inspire. Providence and One More Red Nightmare are awful and bring back memories of Moonchild. Starless and Red are fine but Fallen Angel is the one highlight which rescues the whole album and just raises it to 3* - but not by much. I wouldn't buy it again.
