Red is one of the best Crimson's albums. CTTE is one of the best albums at all.

Close to the Edge, though Red is very close. 
New album!

Close to the Edge.

One More Red Nightmare is the most played track on the album. Thumbs Up

I like Providence better than any track on Close to the Edge. And I love Close to the Edge (not as the others do, but I appreciate it).
I dislike Providence more than anything on either album. And the only song from Red I like more than the song I like the least from CttE is Starless (though I would be hard pressed to say which I like best, CttE, And You And I, or Starless itself). However, in the end I vote CttE, indeed it's great from beginning to end.
Oh, my god. Who hates what and takes what over what. I won't remember this much information.

Yeah, and Kenny G is better than Sonny Rollins.   Besides, Providence is not all there's to Red, not nearly.

Both are great albums, but Yes' edges out Red for me.

Love them both in their own special ways.  :)  But over the years I favor Red.  Big smile
