That's funny you say that... Because I really like earlier Crimson, but my feelings are just the opposite of yours.
When Belew comes into the fold, then that's when the immense amounts of emotion and creativity come into play for me. My favorite earlier album though is Larks, and while that is 5 stars, it still just isn't the same to later Crimson for me.
One of my favorite Crimson albums is the ProjeKcts boxset. It's a shame that more people aren't made aware of that.

That's how you recognize a great band; everyone has different favorites  I'm massively biased towards the early Crimso for the simple reason that Red and In the Court were my two first prog albums ever and Starless is probably my all time favourite song. My first prog band and still there's stuff to find, I like that
Now it's bedtime, first I'll see what Miss Marple is up to with her Sleeping Murder, then it's zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

The end of Gog Magog is freaky. In a good way.

Roblov,
nice review.
Listening to it now.
Actually the best Hammill solo I've heard so far. Beats most VdGG.

Delinus,
thanks.
Good choice.
Yep.

Great album.  I'm a Belew fanboy, especially with Crimson, so on a strictly personal level I'd give Discipline, Beat, and TOAPP all 5 stars (though Discipline is easily my favorite). For PA though, I'd still give Beat and TOAPP 4 stars.

Mine's still good, I think. Only 200 plays behind yours. He's not my favorite artist ever for sure, but I do like him alot. I used to listen to him much more than I have in the past year or so though.

You need to fix that. Get yourself 3/Melt at least.

SR V: To boldly go where no room has gone before
I'd written a long story about hearing USA before Larks' Tongues in Aspic and how the studio songs still feel pretty lame compared to their live counterparts still all these years later, but then I managed to erase the whole thing. But yeah, now that I'll probably end up buying Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair pretty soon, I fear that the same thing might happen with Absent Lovers and those albums, if AL is so much better as I remember you saying.
