Cover art for Islands by King Crimson

King Crimson - Islands 

Only my second time playing this in the past thirty years or so (I recently bought it again on cd after only owning it on cassette tape a long time ago).

No, "Mountain Time"

That chorus is more annoying than in "Betcha" honestly.

Nothing on this planet has ever captured space travel to plastic as well as "Sailor's Tale". Without actually being in space! LOL

So, did it come back to you or hit you on the head??

^Hmmmm, not sure what you mean. 

But anyway, this was the first KC album I ever heard but I'm not sure why I chose it as my first. Maybe it was the only one behind the glass where I used to buy cassette tapes back in the mid 80s when I first bought it (probably with allowance money since my first job wasn't until about a year and half later or so). Anyway, I totally hated it when I first heard it and it almost put me off KC forever. The guitar book that had a section Robert Fripp mentioned a few others as excellent though (LTA to Red) so I knew I had to try those soon and that's what did the trick (along with a young person's guide and the first one - all on cassettte tape). Listening to this album now (on cd) my mind tends to go towards my teenage years all those years ago but I when I pay attention to the actual music I enjoy it (a lot more than back then).

Why call Slayer "fast classic thrash"? LOL Calling thrash "fast" is like saying "water is wet". Confused
Also "classic" here is redundant, too. The album was released in 1986, everyone knows that. Confused

How is Pink Floyd's The Wall neo-prog? Confused

I’ve fixed the neo tag for PF - don’t know how/why I assigned that years ago. The Slayer tag is accurate - it’s a classic thrash album, and quite fast compared to bands like Metallica and Megadeth. Not quite necessary though, I’ll admit that.

The fast tempo/rhythm is a given, it's redundant to mention "fast" to describe the sound. It's a pleonasm IMO. It does not matter if some bands play faster than others. 

If thrash slows down, it becomes something else LOL.

So there’s no mid-tempo thrash? That will come as a shock to some bands, including Megadeth.
