One of the best mangas of all time, second only to Urasawa's Monster, for its psychological tension. As for the rest, well, it's a timeless masterpiece, an immense Odyssey of the protagonists towards their goals, whether right or wrong.

King Crimson: Larks' Tongues in Aspic

Bill Bruford immediately realizes that Yes have reached their peak with "Close To The Edge" and decides to pursue a career with King Crimson... he remains monstrous and this album remains an absurd masterpiece...

    Along with the debut, "Red," and the CRIMINALLY underrated "Lizard," this is my favorite of the Crimson King.

    Let’s also mention "Starless and Bible Black" and "In the Wake of Poseidon". Now that we’ve named all the studio albums from the '70s, we can move on to talking positively about the ones that followed :D

Around, I hear people giving this album a 4/10. "Discipline" remains unattainable, but that doesn't mean that the second new wave work of King Crimson is of low quality. It’s just a step away from being considered a masterpiece.

    Alright, let's leave it be. You too, come on, let go of this obsession with categorizing and thinking of everything as a grade. Now I can only tolerate the deb’s balls as grades. I used to be like you, so listen to the wise one and forget about the eight and a halfs unless it's Fellini’s :-) Of course, the album is magnificent.
  • tonysoprano

    I only need them to see which album is better than others... even though I should actually give up on cataloging.

    "I only need them to see which album is better than others." I used to say that too. But I realized I could choose my favorites even without putting a number on them. In fact, with certain people I simply stopped choosing. Anyway, oh I'm just joking, do as you please, it's all nonsense, right? :-)
  • tonysoprano
    26 jul 16
    Anyway, King Crimson in this new wave vein are immense... but what kind of band are they????
  • tonysoprano
    26 jul 16
    Certainly, with talents like Neil Young and Tom Waits, it's hard to choose just one album... there are too many masterpieces that are equal among themselves...

    The answers 4 and 8 from Mr. @[hjhhjij] practically summarize all my thoughts regarding grades and related matters. Anyway, a huge shoutout to dusco, even though with the KC this statement becomes pleonastic.

    @[tonysoprano], then listen to the Metal-Industrial-Cremisi of the King's albums from recent years... You'll realize that Bob Fripp's compositional vein hasn’t run dry in almost 50 years :D

    4 is honestly unthinkable. I would place it around 7 1/2 - 8, with some peaks higher and some points dropping to 6. But damn, it's King Crimson!

In the transition between "Larks Tongues In Aspic" and "Red," our beloved power trio records a highly crafted album... Lament is one of their absolute best tracks.

If a band manages to blend progressive and new wave without sounding commercial, creating a masterpiece, they either have luck, or they are fucking geniuses... considering we are talking about King Crimson, the second option is more likely...

The pinnacle of the third phase of King Crimson, the Fripp-Bruford-Wetton triumvirate, in peak form, create what is the band's masterpiece, where the group's greatest influences coalesce, filtered down to showcase a sound that is both fluid and cohesive. "Starless" undoubtedly ranks among the top 5 songs of all time.
  • madcat
    28 aug 16
    Why "third phase"? I had always seen it as the first phase In the Court/Island, second phase Larks/Red, third phase Discipline and beyond. As for it being the group's masterpiece, as you know, I agree, it's a perfect and splendid "synthesis" of everything they had done up to that point.
  • tonysoprano
    28 aug 16
    I'll explain: I mentally divide King Crimson up until 1974 into three phases: the In The Court phase, the "experimental trilogy" of In the Wake, Lizard, and Islands, and the third corresponds to the phase from Larks' Tongues in Aspic to Red.
  • hjhhjij
    28 aug 16
    Bizarre... usually, "In the Wake of Poseidon" would be held in the first phase, and yet, maybe it's due to Tippett's presence on piano, I would also associate it more with "Lizard" and "Island." @[madcat] "Lizard" already represents a significant turning point compared to the previous two. To be honest, "Island" is also quite different and very "self-contained" compared to "Lizard."
  • hjhhjij
    28 aug 16
    And nothing, In the Wake remains the Fantozzi album by King Crimson.
  • tonysoprano
    28 aug 16

    #ildiscofantozzi here we need a nice tag :D
  • madcat
    28 aug 16
    It's true that my beloved Lizard is already a turning point compared to the first two, and Island is another step beyond Lizard: for this reason, for the sake of "simplicity," I tend to identify the "total" turning point in Larks, hence for me the two periods.
  • tonysoprano
    28 aug 16
    Lizard is a great album, even though it was slightly difficult for me at first.
  • tonysoprano
    28 aug 16
    The suite needs no adjectives.
  • madcat
    28 aug 16
    I was immediately struck by that record; it became clear to me right away that it would be one of my favorites from them.
  • hjhhjij
    28 aug 16
    For me, it was tough. Blame the Giass, I suppose. Tippett. The suite is one of the most perfect things ever crafted by the King. Oh, it took me 4 years to digest the skylark languages, eh? Did you know that, eons ago, I gave it three little balls here on the debasio? XD
  • tonysoprano
    28 aug 16
    I still prefer Islands just a little.
  • tonysoprano
    28 aug 16
    Anyway, Lizard is underrated (besides the obvious on debaser).
  • hjhhjij
    28 aug 16
    True. In fact, even though the #discofantozzi wins, the previous "Lizard" is in the running. "Three of a Perfect Pair" is also a contender, though.
  • tonysoprano
    28 aug 16
    What does disco fantozzi XD mean?
  • hjhhjij
    28 aug 16
    The unlucky album, underrated, overlooked, that doesn’t get the appreciation it deserves, perhaps struggling to find its place in the career periods of a band or, maybe unfairly, deemed inferior. More Fantozzi than this.
  • bonny99
    28 aug 16
    Regarding what I wrote, I find "in the wake" almost more challenging, especially the final piece than the lizard, which I actually consider an excellent album. Am I perhaps crazy?
  • hjhhjij
    28 aug 16
    Fortunately, we all consider "Lizard" excellent here :-) And surely "The Devil's Triangle" is more challenging than any track on the lizard.

The best album of the "second phase" of King Crimson, experimental and sweetly melodic. The title track is one of the most moving songs my ears have ever heard. Magnificent.
