Rollersnake posted:Red's a good album, but with the wealth of live Crimson material that's now available, it seems a little weak by comparison. Although they're pretty often maligned and with good reason, if you feel like trying out the horribly self-indulgent prog wankery aspect of King Crimson, the early albums Islands and Lizard are a good bet. There are a couple good songs on Islands but most of both albums are everything that gets complained about with prog rock but I'll be damned if they don't make for a good guilty pleasure on occasion. In the Wake of Poseidon is a legitimately solid early album as well, even if a good chunk of it is just a mediocre take off on Gustav Holst.

BigFactory posted:I don't think it's as good as Vapor Trails, either, but it's definitely better than Snakes and Arrows. It's a grower, though. There are a couple of crappy songs, most egregiously The Wreckers which sounds like a song that got left off of My Favorite Headache, but Lifeson just rules the whole way through. Great effort by him. Maybe I just thought the last few albums were terrible, but Clockwork Angels seems better than anything they've done in at least twenty years (again, not a big feat when you look at it).
