Needs more drummers, definitely. Tongue
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I hope it's somewhere between TPTB & Scarcity with more wind instruments but i'll happily buy whatever they do and go to any concerts.

Good new , great that BR is onboard, his work with Fripp have been some of my best Fripp moments for years, they fit !

And Collins off course, was a lack of acustic instruments in KC.
 
But i hope we dont get anything like the last one, was without ball's.
 

Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

Fantastic! I love Belew, but in some ways it's more exciting not having him involved in this lineup, feels like more of a real new KC era, rather than a continuation of the 80s-2000s (although, it of course will be that to some extent). Could easily be disappointing, but will doubtless be interesting.

One point, relating to any live shows they do: is Jakko's voice high enough to cover Belew's range/songs? Could it be that instead, they do versions of some of the 70s vocal songs (which Belew didn't perform as far as I'm aware, except Schizoid Man) which are more in his range? Though I guess it's largely unlikely, three drummers would suggest continuing to move in the same direction they've been going, which wouldn't really fit with that, but you never know, there could be some rearrangements.

Does anyone know exactly what happened to Adrian Belew, and why he hasn't been able to participate?

Question, will it be better than Rush's Clockwork Angels?

Not one of the 'Big 6', but same generation and that was a good album.

I'm also disappointed at the absence of Adrian Belew, but Jakko is a very good vocalist and guitarist as well.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

This is great indeed. I thought Mr Fripp was done with King Crimson... But he has said that King Crimson would return whenever he was needed... or something like that. So, I guess it is time. We'll see if King Crimson remains as innovative and ground breaking as they are reputed to be.

Or something.  I bet Toyah would love that, especially if it made money!

I do wish Belew was on board, I thought he was the one who wanted KC to return most all these years.
