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.
ah fy faen - 1
