KING CRIMSON — In The Court Of The Crimson King
Review by Bratus

3%20stars I have to repeat myself - It is really pitty to see that TOP of Prog Archives is fully occupied with more than 20 years old stuff. Was progressive even existing those years? Thanks God we do not find The Beatles here, in prog charts!



This particular album is not bad, but does it have something to do with modern progressive? (I am speaking about the year 2007, the beginning of 21st century.)

Good, but not essential. 3 stars.


-----
a lot of reasons to not keep it, even considering that 2007 is not even close to the beginning of the 21st century Wink

mainly I think that he's got a complaint review, simplistic and unfocused. He relates it to the previous review, made for Wish You Were Here. While that one's okay, this one would be nonsense within the context of ITCOTCK's reviews.

Bratus seems to be under the impression that this is the "ModernProgArchives"... Ermm

Not an abuse by any means, just an error...

5%20stars I think this album is almost too weird (but not exactly very original), even wannabe, alternative, and maybe somehow boring, shuffling it all round and round. Avant-garde seems to be somehow popular, but this definitely has enough massive elements of avant-garde metal, avant-garde and for example technical metal, mixed with symphonic (but fragmented) female fronted metal. The vocals are very refreshing (at least sometimes, there's whole new way to sing). This is best things that has come in progressive metal field in these times, though I don't exactly like the style so much and the songs could have still some more balls (that's why I don't analyze all the songs here, they are quite similar to each other) - so i give five stars, not four. Dynamic music rules, I can't resist it, sorry.

A five-star review has never looked so 2 or 3-star.... Man, the guy says it's boring, he doesn't like the style, not very original... yet five stars??ConfusedConfusedConfusedLOL

and this one by the same reviewer (In fact, I suggest looking at all his reviews.)

EDIT: Nevermind, the only other questionable review is this one, the others are all fine.
 
Either are too short... they count as a rating without reviewing. Smile

5%20stars This album is one of 3 masterpieces created by Blind Guardian, two others are Nightfall... and Somewhere Far Beyond. Once BG is defined here like progressive I have no doubt to give this album 5 stars. For those progheads who never heard BG before I would suggest to start with their best album 'Nightfall...' and take care this is power metal in the end :-)

He doesn't mention anything about the music at all. (I wrote a review more descriptive than that for a Doors album and had it deleted.)
 
He says it's power metal. Shocked

Perhaps the reviewer should be asked to remove the derogatory genitalia reference in the last sentence. Shocked

Taste aside, seems pretty obvious the guy just has a vendetta against DK.  If he hated his first couple albums I'm sure he wouldn't have went through the trouble to get the others some of which are likely hard to find. 

I'm sorry if this was the wrong section for this info.   I just wanted to call this to attention because DK deserves better than someone whose intent is just to pull down the scores of their titles, with no real consideration to the music.   Here is the gents tagline from one of his ratings.
