Yeah, you're right- but at the time I was young and stupid and just thought it was an awesome album.

Red is an incredible album though I would take Lark's Tongues in Aspic over
it.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Red being one of my first albums by King Crimson and prog music in general, i found it really interesting and excelent piece of work. heck, if it wasn't for Red maybe I wouldn't be in here talking to you
thanks Red.......but still... when i heard ITCOTCK i fell in love with King Crimson and left Red in the dust for quite some time

I didn't know it was legendary when I bought it, I just knew that it was supposed to be good.  I heard it for the first time about 15 years ago, the second KC album I'd ever heard (ITCOTCK was the first and I wasn't impressed at the time).  Now, I'd rank it among my top 10 favorite albums of all time.

Red truly is one of the best albums I've ever heard. Why, when I first got it I listened to it for a month straight.

I can only imagine what it would been like to get into Genesis- Foxtrot on the day it was released!
