Reviews (page 13 of 13)
Album Nr. 32 60iger Rock'n Roll. Nicht mein Geschmack. Nur die Titel "I Talk To The Wind", "Epitaph" und "The Court Of The Crimson King" haben die schlechtest mögliche Bewertung verhindert.
Debut album. Bof.
Nein Danke - zu experimentell
Mad Magazine cover was disturbing but the music was ok. Thats about it. Tolerable? Maybe I was primed to listen out of relief because of that techno crap from the last few days. Well, tolerable but also snoozefest.
ein paar sachen ganz ok, aber sonst irres gedudel
Could t get into it.
Not my jam. I'm sure prog rock is interesting to some people. But not this person
I can appreciate an album is technically very impressive while hating almost everything about the album !
This album is a real mix. It has some good melodies, like I Talk To The Wind, or the main part of 21st Century Schizoid Man. But it also has plenty of sections that are just too experimental / artsy / crazy for my taste. The crazy drags down the album to the point where I don't really feel like listening to it again. If someone created a "sane cut" of this album, I would rate it highly.
Waffled between 2 and 3 stars. After listening to it several times now, I do appreciate some of it. But, too often they wade off into what feels like self-indulgent jam-prog territory.
Slightly better than the musical the gang from 'Always Sunny' put on. But similarly bombastic with lyrics that make me think of a tween who really loves sci fi.
One really good song. The others were too long and experimental for my liking.
Alternates between a toddler at a play piano and epic ballads. You take psychedelics, we get it.
Very jazzy too many sax and horn and drum runs.
Starts off very noisily then chills out a bit. Strange but not terrible. Unlikely I’ll listen to this again.
Really really werid .... 2 stars
Moody Blues/Pink Floyd influencer.
album one overall ranking: 21st century schizoid man: 2.5/5 i talk to the wind: 2/5 epitaph: 3.5/5 moonchild: 1/5 the court of the crimson king: 3.5/5 a man a city: 2/5 cool album, i understand why others would like it and the reason why it is so influential, i just can’t get into it 👍 i feel like i would like it more if the songs weren’t as long favorite: title track
Outside of 21st Century Schizoid Man, I have no idea why anyone would want to make music that sounds like this. Alternates between slow and boring and drippy and boring. Takes the worst parts of Free Jazz and doubles down on them.
Yet another name I’ve heard of and then been surprised to hear that they are a British band. It was a nice listen but I have a big problem with the random hitting of notes that dominated the latter half of Moonchild. I hate that and it ruins what was up until that point from what I remember an enjoyable track.
This is a very well-known album and it's art is possibly more famous? I was expecting the sound of hair flying everywhere and massive guitar solos and was pleased when that didn't happen. Love the mellotron! Didn't realise Greg Lake was the singer (I quite like his anti Christma song). Turns out it's not as bad as I thought it would be, very hippyish stuff, well it is prog! The mellow 'I Talk To the Wind' and 'Epitaph' are very good. The rest sort of just fizzled out for me. A mid 2.
It's Christmas. I genuinely don't care about this awful album. So it spawned a whole lot of dad rock classics? Don't care. I don't like them either.
I tip my hat to the musicianship, but this is just not for me. The pivot from track 1 to 2 was so abrupt and the songs are too damn long. Moonchild, so boring. They take themselves very seriously. 2.0
I liked this album quite a bit more the first time. For some reason, this time just didn't resonate as much with me. Still some really cool moments and instrumentation here, and it does say a lot that this is one of the most sampled albums ever written. Favorite track: The Court of the Crimson King
Cool to hear that this was a sample but other than that not my jam
Just too much random nonsense noise in a couple songs, but I did like Epitah for the most part.
Amazing musicianship. So avant guards it's entertaining; for a bit.
snatches of enjoyable melodies in between too many minutes of noise
An album that is telling the story of the Crimson King. I enjoyed the first track, but then it delves into a bit too much of the storytelling and experimental pieces. Skills are definitely on display at times, but overall a slog to get through. High 2
I can appreciate the skill and the experimentalism, it's just not my cup of tea.
Ziemlicher Garbage die meiste Zeit aber Lied 2 und 3 war ganz cool
Generally enjoyable, with the exception of Moonchild, which is 12+ minutes of random plinking. Parts of it sound like a Western or Sci-Fi movie soundtrack. Another album where I can appreciate where it's coming from and its influence but it isn't something I'll listen to again.
1st track not really my thing 2nd track is nice. calming 3rd track is cool. cinematic vibes 4th track is calming. long 5th track is giving western movie 6th track same as first. not my thing 7th track same as the second track 8th track has cool guitar and gives 1960s jazz vibes overall rating 4/10 not something i would usually listen to.
I did not care for this album found it hard to get through.
This album has: (1) an iconic cover image; (2) an absolute banger of an opening track; and (3) a really cool title track that has sub parts, one of which involves a “fire witch.” That isn’t nothing, but I’m not sure it makes up for the rest of the album being generic prog noodling.
Nice bass instrumentation and drums. Not a fan of the vocals. Overall, meh.
Cool but I dislike rock
Rock I talk to the wind Sokan szeretik, nekem nem jon be annyira. Kicsit chilles, elgondolkodtató.
Didn't think it was great.
Not bad, good instrumental mix. Songs were a bit long felt a bit dragged out but I only had the Expanded & Remastered version of the album so that would explain it.
Interesting...
meh. pass.
Can hear late Beatles influence, or vice versa. But most songs not my thing
Too prog rock for me
Poor man's Russell Brand
Too far out man
This is the music some of the artists I love grew up listening to. However, they have taken the ideas and made them much better.
This always bears repeating: if you have ugly or off putting album artwork I will not buy your album. And I will judge your music much more harshly because of it. This is shitty psych/prog noodling that nobody wanted. There’s a reason they aren’t part of the pantheon of all-time great classic rock acts. Their shit doesn’t resonate so it has become obscure instead of fondly reminiscent of a different time. Begone! Back to the bottom of the value bin stack with you, King Crimson!
Sounds 70s, not gonna listen to all of it
This reminds me of Jethro Tull, so it gets the same rating.
54 years have now passed and this record is still totally fucking shite replete with lofty fatuous gibberish lyrics, interminable meandering repetitious song structure, insulting childlike musical waste "improvisation", and (heaven fucking forfend), worst of all of these things, the flute, this record still tops the lists of many people who have far too much time on their hands to discuss such juvenile and perverted matters online and on print (how embarrassing! how uncouth! how unbecoming!) however the question still arises - does the opening track save this record from a lousy miserable one out of five? well, perhaps; but if i wanted to extract anything valuable from this silly little album i would have simply picked up kanyes version instead p.s. my arm hurts and its all my fault dont drink and cycle lol
There are elements that are good. Then there are times when everything is unstructured and everyone was just playkng random shit. Every song is way too long. It was to the point when only one note was playing and the question is why? It adds nothing. Also enough with the bonus tracks. Just have it go to the next song. I will round up
Some good parts some bad parts but overall fun and interesting
Didn’t dig it. Another album that seems influential. I can hear its sounds elsewhere soon after this came out. But it’s not pleasant to listen to the whole things in album format. Meh
mid af
Not terrible!
No thanks
I like prog, just not this album. The second tune was cool, and the musicianship was on point, especially the drums. I dig that something this adventurous is and has been popular. It blows my mind that prog bands used to sell out stadiums. But this one just lacks that certain something that I dig in such bands as Yes and Genesis.
Enige dat ik hiermee ben opgeschoten is dat ik nu weet dat dat eerste nummer gesampled is door Kanye West...
Doe niet zo moeilijk jongens, is mijn mening.
Really just felt like a lot of noise.
11th May 2023 Listened half on Thursday half Friday while packing for camping with Adna, Joe, Meg and Jenny. Don’t. Get. Prog. Rock.
Progressive rock? O progressive jazz rock, mejor dicho. Un poco rollo.
This cover is iconic 21st Century Schizoid Man rolls The rest of this mostly stressed me out
2.5
-21st Century Schizoid Man- Bryant: Starting off strong here. Lots of early 70s vibes. Iron Man feel. Now we're off on a journey to funky town! I definitely didn't get enough sleep last night. Nap time? Feels more PsyRock than ProgRock. I don't hate it, but it wouldn't make it onto a playlist of mine. Erica: I could have done without the rambling middle, but it fits with the schizoid theme. The drummer is pretty excellent. -I Talk to the WInd- Bryant: This is different. I like it when they do the muffled mics on the drums to give them a softer sound. This feels Paul and Art vs Beach Boys. Erica: I was missing the flute from yesterday, glad we got that back. It's a pretty song though. I need to stop staring at that uvula. -Epitaph- Bryant: Dramatic intro. I wish the vocals were more forward. I like this one. --9Erica: I like the beginning, it's melancholy and broody. I like it, I'd listen to a radio cut. Reminds me of a Flight of the Conchords song. -Moonchild- Bryant: Very Bond-theme-esque. Half-way through and I think this one could end now. Yeah, that was a song. Erica: I feel like if you're to have a rock band, your lead singer shouldn't sound like he's quietly singing hymns. If you look at the contemporary bands in prog-rock, this is less cohesive and doesn't stand-out. -The Court of the Crimson King- Bryant: This is more like it. That's the best on the album so far. Erica: That one was probably maybe my favorite. But like... the radio cut. End notes: This one is another one I don't understand why it made the list. I guess if it's 1001 albums there's gonna be some questionable stuff. An album with one pretty good song that is about 6 minutes too long.
Manic Schizo didn’t sound like 1969 but the rest sounded like knock off moody blues
Disclaimer: didn’t fully listen so will have to come back to this Enjoy it?: Not really, I can understand why people would though Favourite song: didn’t have one
This album was like if you took the weirdest Pink Floyd stuff and made it weirder and worse. A couple songs I jammed to but otherwise this was chaotic.
Red Screamy Man is such a meme in the vinyl community that I was stoked to see this because I've never actually heard it. To me this suffers from the same issues as other prog bands like Yes or ELP which are they have a few (or one) super cool song and then like 3 songs with just like, bird sounds and noise. New prog > OG Prog. 2.
A combination of weird music you listen to when high, saxophone sex, and decent musical ideas.
For an album praised for it's drumming, 20th Century Schizoid Man found the absolute fartiest drum tone. King Crimson says yes to every musical idea. This is not a good thing, as we're left with bad genre explorations (now it's free jazz, now it's classical, now it's hard rock) which don't fit together, forcing me to listen to lyrics that sound like they were ripped from some guy on a sci-fi fanfiction site's "brilliant novel that can't get published because it's just so out there, man." This record is what it sounds like if a Renaissance Faire got stoned.
Prog all the way here. Impressive musicianship combined with musical tripe doesn't win me over. It just sounds contrived to show off how well they can play. And yes - they really do nail the jazz work but it seems to go nowhere.
60s cliche
Long, tedious, indulgent, faux-deep. At least 21st Century Man sounded good when it was sampled by Kanye.
I knew the album cover and had heard this was an epic album, so I was excited. Turned out it wasn’t much more than background music for me which only rarely caught my attention. Nothing really special here to me, prog rock has gotten better over time. Perfectly mid 2.5/5 but I give it a 2 because I was slightly disappointed.
Other than “The Court of the Crimson King,” pretty uninteresting; one gets the impression they were just throwing anything against the studio wall to see what would stick.
Progressive rock? O progressive jazz rock, mejor dicho. Un poco rollo.
Progressief. Het is toch niet iets wat ik thuis graag luister. Onlangs naar mijn eerste concert van een progressieve rockband geweest en dat was wel leuk, maar echt gaan zitten luisteren is niet aan mij besteed. Ik kijk de bijbehorende film wel ;-).
Any time I find out where a hip hop sample came from in the first track (listen: "POWER" by Kanye West), it's a good chance it's gonna be a pretty good album. But then I listened to the rest and wasn't impressed. Meh.
Mature serious Moody Blues style singing if then utter primary school music lesson nonsense. Not clever. Emperor’s New Clothes to the musos.
Rock experimental. Coñazo
The prog motherlode. All a lot of huffing and puffing in search of something they don't quite find. Apart from the last track which really does pull it all together very well.
Beetje raar
I'm never going to be into prog. No matter how hard I try, it's just never going to happen. I've resigned myself to this fact. So, I guess take this review with a grain of salt. There's WAY too much jazz in this rock for anyone's good. It's so self-indulgent as to be downright masturbatory. I'm not interested in hearing you strangle a saxophone either metaphorically or literally. And don't get me started on the freaking flutes. What the actual hell. That's a no for me, dawg. Hard pass. The ONLY reason this doesn't fail utterly is because you can easily tell that these guys have chops. They're legitimately great musicians. Too bad they spent their energy in this wack-off of an album instead of creating something actually enjoyable. What a waste.
I once considered this a great album, but perhaps this album belongs to yesterday...
I enjoyed I Talk To The Wind. I listened to that one twice. The flute is pretty. The lyrics are not exactly uplifting but the general feel of the song is pleasant. I had a hard time getting into the rest of the album. It's music for existentialists.
I've always liked the title track, but to be honest, the rest of it verges on unlistenable
not for me, but what a magically trippy journey.
Didn’t realize how well i knew this album, or how many times I’d heard it before. Not surprised by my powers of disengagement or not always knowing who or what I’m listening to when I’m not the person pressing Play. It’s fine. Fully aware i rate harshly.
Not sure on this one. Syd Barrett wild spin offs...or a bit weird. 🤔
Pioneering a genre is bound to result in kinks that require ironing out. Lots of good ideas held down by an abundance of sections that droned on for too long. "Moonchild" really drags my overall rating down. I absolutely hated it. Fave track: The Court of the Crimson King Cool flute solo, probably more enjoyable because it came on after Moonchild. 2.5/5
These confectioners might think our palates will enjoy the initial burst of sugar (track 1 was great), but in the end it stunk
eh... it was ok
Meh. I’m not really into prog rock. It was just ok.
fav track: 21st century schizoid man
Aldrei hlustad áður. Somes ekki merkilegt en samt ljuft og rann í gegn.
Too prog, not enough rock. Found myself growing bored.
I enjoyed a few moments but struggled to rate this album as high as I did.
I know this is early prog rock, but it's hard to sell prog rock to me sometimes.
bit too muso for me but pleasant enough
Considéré comme un classique, mais pas si bien
👎 2/5 pour moi.
2/5 nope!
Was kind of interested for a bit but it got pretty boring. The extended in noodling in Moonchild really lost me but I stuck it out. At least it wasn't a very long album. Never had much interest in prog rock and it turns out that was probably legit.
On varmaan ollut maailman päräyttävintä shittiä vuonna -69, mut meh. Kakofonista sekoilua mielestäni.
This was not for me. It kept slipping into the background and there it stayed.
Pretty rubbish. Too much prog is basically jazz guys pretending to be rock guys. But the jazz wankery spoils everything it touches
Didn’t need to listen to it
I really don’t like this at all
sounds too self aggrandizing 24 century schizoid man
Previously unknown. Not as bad as I expected.
No thanks. Minus another star for the terrible album art.
Maximal amount of self-importance paired with minimal amount of musical quality.
Disco extraño, parece como canciones sacada de una película de terror, para escuchar en un dia normal no es recomendado
Album cover giving me cex album giving me shit
Not for me
Didn’t like it…
21st Century Schizoid Man: no es mi vibra, para nadisima. toda la cancion es bastante parecida, sakvo el solo de instrumentos que es epico, pero aun asi no me copo. I Talk to the Wind: esta me gusto mas, probablemente porque es mas chill, me gusto el beat, estan buenos, pero tampoco digo wow. Epitaph: los mismo que la anterior en cuanto opinion Moonchild: no me gusto The Court of the Crimson King: meh A Man a City: es normal En conclusion, no me gusta ete tipo de musica. reconozco qu eme gustaron mucho las instrumentales, pero no es para mi
мені потрібна музика а не шось на 10 хв бля
Fucking annoying. Zero stars.
Lesson of the day…opinions on what makes an album appear on this list are ✨subjective ✨
i dont like it...it insist upon itselft like 12mins on a track for what..so yh noy my style
No mi estilo para nada, pero fue interesante conocer una nueva banda.
Not a fan of Prog rock. These all just seemed to drone on forever and I ended up skipping the last half of almost every song.
Sehr psychedelisch.
No pude escuchar ni un minuto del primer tema. Fue un horror
Not my vibe
I could hear Black Sabbath style vocals but really could not get on with this. Not for me I’m afraid!
doamne fereste
What the hell? This album already came up! And I still hate it!
Every song starts out pretty interesting, then just devolves into noise. Best song: The Court Of The Crimson King
I can only assume this album cover is supposed to be a mirror showing the face of someone forced to listen to this more than once. What an unpleasant experience.
not really my thing
Waste of time
Conal is wrong
A cheestastic wank fest. This brings to mind Sean Connery as Zardoz, only this is the soundtrack to an even worse 70s B-movie. This album has been heralded by some musicians I know. I'll try not to hold it against them.
Not my cup of tea
Pretentious. Sounds like spinal tap.
Not my vibe honestly some tracks sound funky but its nothing i would listen to on a regular basis
This album is 3 years younger than me. In my teens some friends liked stuff like this - maybe this. Hated it then. Hate it now. Would give it no stars if I could
Awful. Despite the cover.
I'm trying to get past the "Schizoid Man" lyrics and just appreciate the instrumentals of the first song because the big band feeling is impressive, but as the album kept going the more I didnt like it.
idk man. i will probably not listen to this ever again for me it’s too much experimental
Too weird for me to listen to
pompous. smug. clever-clever.
Couple of songs were good otherwise it sounded like a pro jazz band tuning up
Waffle. I used to own this and never listened and my opinion has not changed.
Sucked!
Not for me
I could not get into this at all.
This is lame
Ahhhhh bore and a snore
I couldn't take enough drugs to make this good.
My god this us long winded. Save for the time i spent trying to work out what had sampled the opening track there is nothing remotely positive of the first track. I talk to the wind is just dull. Epitaph is the usual overlong prog guff. Moonchild features that other albums like this, a tune that at times sounds like the engineer has just recorded the instruments being set up and tested possibly by toddlers. The Court of King Crimson brings down the curtain in a suitably overblown fashion and hopefully signals the end of my listening to their work
The review is solely based on the original tracklisting, not the expanded version on Amazon Music. 21st Century Schizoid Man (Including "Mirrors") I liked the beginning of, hated the middle of, and was indifferent to the end of. Trimming that down, well chopping it in half, would have made a song I'd enjoy. I Talk To The Wind I just found long and fairly uninteresting. Epitaph (including March for No Reason and Tomorrow and Tomorrow) had the vocals so low, both in general and in the mix, at times that I had to turn up the overall volume to try and hear him. I was surprised to read Brett Gurewitz's Epitaph Records label (home of most of my favourite bands from the 90s, and one of my current favourites, Roe Kapara) and was named after this track. It was ok, but too long. Moonchild (including The Dream and The Illusion) is over 12 minutes long and makes me want to scream with frustration. Not sure if that was what they were going for. IT IS SO LONG AND MEANDERING! Even they don't seem to see the point in it, as they first played it live 48 years after releasing it. I cannot imagine how boring a live experience this song would be. The Court of the Crimson King was marginally shorter, so at least there's that. There's actually some small parts I like in this track, but not enough to make me enjoy the whole. There are parts of this album that I didn't hate, but I disliked Moonchild so much, it's sullied the whole LP for me. Once again, I do not understand the attraction in 95% of Prog Rock. 1/5 (it would have got 2 had Moonchild been banished)
Didn't enjoy at all
> In 2015, the album was ranked number 2 on Rolling Stone's list of the "50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time" Seriously?
The album cover art creeps me out, so docked for that. Let’s see about to music now!! Update: Not a fan….
Overblown, self indulgent. Not my thing
prog rock. this is not for me.
Utter waste of time. I'm sure there's some talent in the band but did they have to play the same song over and over again?
Progressive rock seems to be the antithesis of fun. Definitely understand why so many people joined and then promptly left this band.
I think this band served as an inspiration for Spinal Tap.
Well, this was terrible.
Simplemente, no conecté con el disco
n
Dirge
I want wipe all late 60s music from existence to get rid of this album.
Just terrible shit. I don’t care if they heavily influenced an entire genre when they bands they influenced are a million times better
Flute on the second song yasss I like epitaph Not musically inclined enough to appreciate 12 min of sounds
Idk I was bored
Weird but interesting I guess. Worst Song: Epitaph - Including "March for No Reason" and "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" Best Song: 21st Century Schizoid Man - Including "Mirrors" Added to Liked Songs:
no se si el tren llamaquique - aviles lo esta haciendo horrible pero asi se siente.
Bastante basura la verdad. Menos mal que hay otros álbumes de ruido porque si no iba para el último de cabeza
I struggled with this. Prog is not my thing at all and I didn't really particularly enjoy anything here.
I do not care for prog rock. Like, it's pretty annoying to me. Pretentious theater kids acting like their better that everyone and just telling critics that they don't "get it." That means you aren't conveying anything in a meaningful way; you're just self-grandeurizing.
Like Alice Cooper but exponentially worse.
One good song
Crimson Crap.
This album was undoubtedly made for either someone more musically cultured than me and into progressive rock. For me a lot of it just sounded like the weird background music on retro kids cartoons (think Tom and Jerry). Sometimes I felt great the song has finished, just for an extra five minutes of random instrumental. A song should never be nine minutes, well unless it’s good, and then it’s ok
Tedious and indulgent. Not to be confused with The Court of King Caractacus.
Not my thing
I bet some boring fucker liked this. Well not this boring fucker. This was fucking boring.
O shit it's that album cover i can never name in quizzes. Oh ffs its fucking prog. .... -_- I hate this sorry I'm trying to get it but i don't im bored shitless Like there just isn't a song in the world that would be better if it was 12 minutes long Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up I respect the art of just banging shit together but not for 8 bastard minutes at a time do something else!!!!!! I don't care if it's some musical groundbreaker either. broke ground for what? More prog? Put that shovel down. Okay four minutes into the title track i was like 'oh maybe this one's alright' and then it started doing Prog Shit. Off ye fuck. Oh my god it's still going. This was torture but I guess I got my first one star out of it. So that's something.
I’m just not that in to prog…I know this is a highly rated album but it dragged on for me and I’ve tried multiple times to get in to it.
Not my thing.
No. This is noise. Not good.
2/10…psychadelic / progr.rock
Not really my thing. Sounds like a weird cross between alternative, low-fi, and really early rock. I had previously heard 21st Century Schitzo Man before listening to this album.
I've been pleasantly surprised by the other prog-rock albums that have shown up on this list. Entries from Rush, ELP and the likes have been getting a healthy bump above my initial expectations. Unfortunately King Crimson didn't follow this trend. I wanted to like this album it but really couldn't get into it at all. It's a mess of long bland songs and honestly a little annoying. I will be filing this one away for good. 1.22 stars
Heavily instrumental… lots of jamming. Not my taste all around but catchy hook on 21st century Schizoid Man
I've been listening to this album all day and I'm only now starting song 5? Also, this fantasy-type music that should be in a movie with fairies and nymphs has never been my thing.and I guess it still isn't.
Never want to listen to Prog-rock again
It’s a 1 because it was way too long and ended up being very pointless. It was not good at all.
This was weird. It started off sounding like it would be quite an interesting listen but it really trailed off and it eventually just sounded like they were in demo mode and taking the piss with who could make a sound next.
Not for me didn't do it
I don't get it. Was cool to hear where that one Kanye sample came from, but otherwise this is NOT for me. Moonchild is 12 minutes of straight up nothing.
I've tried, but this just doesn't seem to agree with me. I know that its rated a classic by many, but too difficult for me to get into. I do like some of Fripp's later solo work, and definitely his work with Bowie and The Roches.
No, just no
It was too wankery for me. Too many notes, not enough substance.
The greatest what? It sounds like putting ketchup on fish. Or champagne after brushing. It's just wrong. As is the instrumentation and mixing rock and pastoral styles. I don't hear the genius. Aborted half way through. At least now the iconic expression in the cover makes sense to me.
Nope.
A bit too progressive...
Oy. Are we really pretending this is nice to listen to? This is music for sociopaths. Grinding my teeth halfway through the first song. This is atrocious. Fuck everyone who says this is good. There’s something wrong with you. This is intensely pretentious and overrated. If this was a physical record, I would smash it. 1/5
Did not enjoy it one bit.
god this generator keeps throwing Dad Rock at me and not even the kind i like
The first minute of this album is good. Then they go off on pointless noodling. But it gets worse. How about the vastly wimpy I Talk To The Wind? But things can still get worse. Moonshine is 12 minutes (seemed like 12 decades) of guitar/vibraphone (or glockenspiel) pointlessness. The title track is stupidly self-indulgent. If you want to listen to prog, find Queen II. They do stretch out to 6 minutes for a song, but those songs are full of dense ideas and power. If you played King Crimson to impress girls you would remain a virgin. I was going 2 stars because they play well. But insipid shit like this should be dumped.
nicht so meins.
Not my jam.
Not sure how to categorize. Sort of rock, sort of improv jazz.
DNF. Fand den ersten Song anstrengend. Ist glaube ich nicht so meine Musik
Prog rock was, I suppose, *necessary* for rock to evolve and avoid the trap that US country music now finds itself — self-referential anaemic reverence of tropes so worn out you they’re like muslin in the sun. But did it have to be so outright dull? There are two ideas, maximum, on each of these tracks. And then there’s buggering about on a keyboard, committed to tape, and regarded as some sort of innovation. No. This says nothing, means nothing, evokes nothing. Dirge.
Not my cup of tea
Didnt like it at all prog sucks ass
Could not finish. Didn't like. 1/5
Not my cup of tea.
psychodeliczny jazzorock. Gdybym palil trawe to pewnie bym tego sluchal. Ciekawe ale na raz.
no
Only last half way...
Couldn't get through the first song.
Yuck
to jazzy
Not for me
Meine Fresse, was ein scheiß Gedudel. Sollen Jazz spielen gehen.
only becouse there is no zero stars
nicht mein Ding
This is not my type of music… I did not attempt to listen to the whole thing. The album cover also freaks me out, I don’t want to look at it. Lol
I simply did not get it. Not my kind of music.
Did not like anything about this album. Very strange. Poor quality recording and depressing sound.
No
Listened to this album with a friend many years (admittedly several decades) ago. The songs and their eclectic sound struck me in the same way jazz does. Meaning that their music just falls short of the bar I have set for enjoyment and doesn't warrant any purchase for further listening. While by no means is it repulsive and I do respect their artistry, it's not for me.
Only listened to the first track, didn’t like it.
Überhaupt nicht mein Geschmack
Not my kind of cup of tea, very long winded and with some strange interceptions.
Not my kind of music
Not a single good thing. Maybe flutes l.
All these songs are too long for my little brain. The first 3 minutes of most of the songs are fine but then they get too jam band-y.
Regular readers will know of my absolute disdain for Prog Rock, so my hatred of this album, which seems to have started the whole thing, is immeasurable.
Art is subjective, and some people love this stuff. Me? Not so much. The first two songs make sense to me. The others sound like they are the soundtrack to a western or kung fu movie. The last 6 minutes of moonchild sounds like they forgot to hit stop on the recorder and the band is just noodling on their instruments. This is art that I don’t get, but I’m fine with other people liking it… not around me. 🤣
Not a fan, long Melodies. Jazzy.
Psychedelic rock of late 60s that hippies would listen to while tripping on acid or shrooms, not a fan
Not my thing
Myönnän, että eka biisi alkaa melkein vakuuttavasti - Kanye West on osoittanut, että siinä saattaa piillä pieni koukkukin. Tämä on parasta, mitä levystä voi sanoa.
This was difficult to find something to like. I tried every track, and nothing kept my interest. 1/5.
Doesn’t move the needle for me.
еле дослушал ужасно скучно, неинтересно, затянуто; только трек I Talk To The Wind выделился своей флейтой пока самый тяжелый для прослушивания альбом
Как же я заебался. Точно не худший альбом, ибо мелодика есть какая-то и в отрыве с перерывом в неделю может и норм, но ЭТО УЖАСНО НУДНО, СОЛО НЕ ОПРАВДЫВАЮТ ВЛОЖЕНИЯ И ВЫЕБОНОВ ОСОБО НЕТ!!!
I knew I wouldn't like this when I saw 8 songs in 67 minutes and I was correct. Flute and triangle solos? WTF?? I'm not even sure what genre of music you consider this shit......... Just terrible. Just like the Alabama Crimson Tide. They got a got a guy responsible for a woman's death still playing b-ball. But that's Alabama for you. Win at all cost, even if you kill someone. And make sure you marry family member....the Alabama way.....good God, they should just firebomb that state and hit Florida too. Maybe just the area the orange dude and his family live. A big no for me 0 0
Nah
I didn't hate it as much as the last time I listened. The cover is an approximation of the face I'd make when someone suggests I listen again. Annoying flute, sax, and guitar noodling; nightmarish.
Not at all my style of music
Not my thing. Also the album cover freaks me out.
There is no "rock" in any description of this band's music. It's jazz!
Not for me. Open was ok, flutes throughout less so.
Not for me
Nope
Pretty over-rated and self-indulgent 'cut and paste' rock
I understand why this album was so influential, but it didn't do a damn thing for me.
