COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Their masterpiece....... submitted by kencza on July 11, 2022, 10:52pm King Crimson put out a large amount of good music over the years including recent live material from more recent shows. This is was their first and still the best and I have listened to all of them numerous times. The Title song, Epitaph, and 21st Century Schizoid Man are epic and I Talk to the Wind and Moonchild are not far behind. The music and lyrics paint a picture of wonder, hope and at times mayhem. Highly recommended!
