King Crimson: Larks' Tongues in Aspic

What the fuck am I defining them for
King Crimson: Discipline
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Among the best albums of the creamy king. An incredible prog-new wave masterpiece.
King Crimson: Starless And Bible Black
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Yet another masterpiece from the English group.
King Crimson: In The Wake Of Poseidon

I also find it inferior to the debut, but I believe it is underrated. The title track, Cadence And Cascade, and The Devil's Triangle are, in my opinion, successful episodes in the KC discography.

    Come on, not underrated. I've always seen it being given a full 4, if not a 5, so it's definitely something of notable value anyway.

    I instead give 5 to everyone from KC from '69 to Discipline (but also Beat if you want).

    Better to give up the 5 for this and at least give it to Thrak :) (A Beat for sure, for me).

    I don’t know Thrak, I admit it’s a flaw of mine. I’ll make up for it, one day.

    Not at the first level, but I enjoy listening to it very much. There's a piece (I can't remember the title right now, pardon) that kills me...

    With the KC, you have a loose sleeve.

    Yeah, well, let's just say you've got it tight, because if you're not loose with these guys, I don't see who else you could be with :)

    But come on, let's give all their albums a 5 because if we’re not generous with these...
    Questionable reasoning. Their debut is ok, but this one definitely doesn’t deserve a 5, come on, let's leave it alone.

    If for you it's a 3 when you de-collect them, you will give a 3 ;)

    If you find it inferior to the debut, and there's no denying that the first album is better than this one, then why give this one a 5? I don't understand the logic. That's all.
  • hjhhjij

    No, in fact this is not a 5 (for me), but many others are. And, above all, "Discipline" is not a 3, and this is not being lenient; it means having common sense, since it's one of their best. Then, if we want to stop at the big smile, that's fine, everyone is free.

    We need to be objective. Here, 5 is a bit generous. That’s what I said in my first intervention. After the big face, they made some good stuff. I don’t just stop at the big face; I have all of their work, even if nowadays my tastes have changed. I listened to this stuff ages ago.

    I'm a fan of King Crimson but you can't give 5 stars to this album. If there were 6 stars at stake instead of 5, I could understand you, but if you give 5 to this record (for me it's a 4), how do you differentiate it from stuff like In the Court of the Crimson King, Red, Island, Larks' Tongues in Aspic, and Lizard?
Progressive wonder. Fascinating fresco of the court of the cremesi king.

    The "Faccione" can be easily identified with "prog" itself. An example to be sent to the farthest reaches of space, as a testament to the "ideal human kingdom" for other forms of civilization, of course!

As soon as I stripped off the plastic covering around the CD packaging, it literally disintegrated in my hands, leaving me with just the disc, the booklet, and countless sharp plastic shards. Putting this annoying inconvenience aside, the disc is an absolutely fantastic experience, both in its more "pop" first part and in the damn avant-garde second part.

Starless is among the 5 most beautiful songs in history. Is that enough?
King Crimson: Islands

Formentera Lady, a gem of rare beauty, is a captivating title track. A great album.

    Come on, I don't think it's the case to be stingy, not with such an expressive peak :)

    Yes, it really deserves top marks. But I don't focus on them much anymore, especially since I should actually change many of them.
