yes, it is a bit overrated, but still a great album.

KC has made much better on LTIA and Red, though. So, my list is:

1. Larks Tongues

2. Red

3. ITCOTKC

4. 3 Of A PP

5. Discipline

Well, I agree it is more respected for it's pioneering (it is not the first prog album but it the one that puting the standard to anything that came after) and it's not a perfect album (but not very far away of it) but I would give it five stars for the combination between importance and music.

Ranking only the 70's staff (the rest is different but also good IMO) my list would be :

1. Red

2. Lizard

3. Lark's tounge in aspic

4. Islands

5. Starless & bible black

6. In the court of the crimson king

7. In the wake of Poseidon

8. Earthbound

All the first seven are 5 stars IMO !

I like:

1. ITCOTCK - really their best, I think

2. Red - Their best album from the Wetton / Bruford - era

3. Larks' Tongues In Aspic

4. Lizard

5. In The Wake Of Poseidon

6. Thrak - their best post-Red album

and I don't like:

1. Beat - sounds like Talking Heads to me, and the songs do nothing for me

I TOTALLY agree with this thread..

ITCOTCK...yuk....what is that crap on side 2? 'Moonchild...'..

I love 'Lizard', 'Red', 'Larks tongues..' all great...why their first album is so heralded loses me..I think 'in the wake of poseidon' craps on it.
