I’ve listened to this album several times. Beyond 21st Century Schizoid, I couldn’t tell you anything about it.

A record with two all-time great bookend tracks. What's in between ain't bad either.

I bought this from a cheap Amazon deal having never heard anything from it. I probably listened to it one because it was a lot weirder than I though it was going to be. I'm working form home today so I'm digging out the vinyl and giving it another shot.
Edit: I'm actually enjoying this quite a bit.

This isn't my favorite King Crimson album, but it's up there. They had one of the best runs of albums for a few years there when this came out and Fripp's guitar playing still puzzles some of the best to ever do it. Reading about Vai trying to learn how to play some of these songs for the tour this year and he had to give up on a few because he couldn't get it down, and Vai was practically born with a guitar.

Good album. Also overrated. "Moonchild" brings this down one full point.
Owned this album on the basis that it was "necessary for your collection" then PIFed it away last year. No regrets.
Rating: 3/5 [Good]

No my favourite KC album, that would be Red, but I still enjoy it.

That’s the one I own.

This is nice. It’s enjoyable when I listen to it, but fleeting. Nothing draws me to put this on. I think it is probably something I should spend some more time with though.

Necessary is relative to your own tastes though, right?
I could see if you were big into prog how this could be a necessary album, but if you’re not, probably not as much.
It’s just a lot of noodling having a picnic in the English coast kind of thing.

I think this is all that really needs to be said about it.

But I was a victim to those claims. It's why I no longer take statements of "you must have this" or "your collection isn't complete UNLESS..." seriously any longer. The worst kinds of statements and claims.
In general, no longer.

I find it hard to believe that around 90% of us here need to pay attention to those kinds of lists.

I have listened to this but never really dedicated any time to it or spent much time with it at all. I know it is pretty revered.

Well shit, four songs in… I should have spent a lot more time with this album.

I prefer Solange over her older sister 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Beautiful black expression. Production slaps. Varied song structures. Pretty, glistening vocals. Excellent feature choices + performances.
I'll reevaluate how I feel two years later when the 10 year anniversary of this album comes around. But for now...
Rating: 4.5/5 [Outstanding]

I feel like this is an album cover I've seen so many times but never listened to it. A few songs in and I'm liking it so far. The only thing I've really heard from her before was her feature on an Of Montreal album.

That's right. I couldn't remember if it was that or "Enemy Gene" which has Janelle Monae. He really hit some pop stars ahead of the curve on that album.
