Review: King Crimson would like you to think that they're strange, but they're not. What they are is a semi-eclectic British band with a penchant for fantasy and self-indulgence whose banally imagistic lyrics are only matched by the programmatic imagery of their music. They work with myth, mystification and mellotrons to take you, if your imagination is short and your attention span long, on one of those ... ]]> Album Review : In The Court Of The Crimson King http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/kingcrimson/albums/album/215038/review/6067524/in_the_court_of_the_crimson_king http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/kingcrimson/albums/album/215038/review/6067524/in_the_court_of_the_crimson_king?source=kingcrimson_rssfeed Tue, 25 May 2004 12:12:33 PDT Photo Artist: King Crimson
Album: In The Court Of The Crimson King
Review: There are certain problems to be encountered by any band that is consciously avant-garde. In attempting to sound "farout" the musicians inevitably impose on themselves restrictions as real as if they were trying to stay in a Top-40 groove. There's usually a tendency to regard weirdness as an end in itself, and excesses often ruin good ideas. Happily, King Crimson avoids these obstacles most of the... ]]> Album Review : Thrak http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/kingcrimson/albums/album/199433/review/6067417/thrak http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/kingcrimson/albums/album/199433/review/6067417/thrak?source=kingcrimson_rssfeed Tue, 25 May 2004 12:12:31 PDT Photo Artist: King Crimson
Album: Thrak
Review: The last incarnation of art-rock pioneers King Crimson made for a rare union of power and precision, crafting three early-'80s albums – Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair – that were Promethean feats in a dreary time. With Thrak, King Crimson have re-emerged from the interregnum with their passionate virtuosity grayed but not gone.

The new-model King Crimson assume an expanded...

Review: This is where things are really getting interesting – out on the far margins, where risk, spontaneity and contempt for easy definition count for a lot more than chops, tunes and the is-it-or-isn't-it-alternative argument. These three records are rock mostly by association: There are guitars aplenty, and there is some serious riffing going on, especially on the Crimson disc. But on Millions... ]]> Album Review : Starless and Bible Black http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/kingcrimson/albums/album/174583/review/5946322/starless_and_bible_black http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/kingcrimson/albums/album/174583/review/5946322/starless_and_bible_black?source=kingcrimson_rssfeed Mon, 03 May 2004 06:36:22 PDT Photo Artist: King Crimson

Review: Just as they were about to be classed among the living relics, Robert Fripp and friends have returned from a lengthy creative hiatus with an inventive new album. They've taken the disjointed pieces of Larks' Tongues in Aspic, infused them with some life, and woven them into a package as stunningly powerful as In the Court of the Crimson King, the LP that launched "mellotron rock."

Album: Discipline [Caroline Bonus Track]
Review: Having completed his "drive to 1981" with both a "Frippertronics" LP, Let the Power Fall, and a "Discotronics" disc, The League of Gentlemen, Robert Fripp has launched a new three-year plan he calls the "incline to 1984." "The next step is discipline," he concluded on Let the Power Fall, and, fittingly, the debut album by Fripp's "new" band, the reconstructed King Crimson, is called... ]]>
