In the Wake of Poseidon

[shivering corpse]

Ok, I got King Crimson-In the Wake of Poseidon, and I think it's really great. This has to be a highly underrated album. I never hear anything about it. Sure, it's similar to the debut, but there are they also made some improvements. Cadence and Cascade and the title track are two of the best songs I've heard. They put their hands up my asshole and rip shit out.

 

[bang]

my favourite king crimson album.

 

[sicfakr]

it's good, I like In the Court... and Red the most

 

[Demonspell]

This album is underrated, even if part of it mirrors the debut (Pictures Of A City is a great Schizoid Man clone though)...Cat food again! The only song from this album performed live by the 73-74 incarnation...

 

[shivering corpse]

yeah pictures of a city is indeed a schizoid man clone

Many parts of it blatantly rip off In The Court, such as In Teh Wake...

However, In The Wake of Poiseidon (the song) is still AWESOME despite its clone nature, very emotional and epic with a cool tune. Pictures of a City is similar to Schizoid Man, but also friendlier, nicer and pretty good. Cat Food is one of the coolest and most enjoyble chillout tracks of all time.

Its definately a great album but also definately a case of a band worshipping at its own altar.

 

[Demonspell]

It still isn't as self-referential as Construkction...but that's hardly a problem when you consider how much arse Frakctured and Larks Tongues IV kick.

I find this album very good, I really like it, though not as much as I like Red and In the court.
and I believe Lizard is their most underrated album, and i really can't understand why.

and Happy With What You Have To Be sux.

That's my favourite kind of KC style.. the In The Court and In The Wake albums... that's how I like them sounding.. secondly comes Red..

btw.. anything else that follows the same? I can't really listen that much to crazy shit like Discipline and such...

 

[Autumn Falls]

But Eirik! Discipline is paramount!
