Why do people like this boring shit? Is this a meme?
cos yeezy sampled it
>>62535502
It's not a meme ITAOTS, Death Grips, AnCo and all those other bands aren't like Jason Aldean and DALE. Loads of people enjoy the above albums, people only like Aldean and DALE ironically.
>>62535502
>maybe the most influential progressive rock album ever released
>meme
fucking 4chan
>>62535502
you are the meme
You know what OP, I don't really like it either. But everyone else claims its inspirational and really good so why don't you just shut up, move on, and not spend your life trying get people pissy on the internet
>>62535832
Why don't you like it?
>inb4 contrarian
>>62535552
This.
It's a nice album and obviously important, or whatever, but the only reason /mu/ likes it is because of POWER.
Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit.
>>62535901
>Being this much of a retard
>>62535901
i dont like kanye but i like this album
>>62535901
I listened to this ages before I cared about Kanye and I loved it.
Stop using shitty strawmen arguments to justify your contrarian opinion
This /thread is a bait.
>>62536014
No, i genuinely don't get what's good about this album.
>>62535901
Who the fuck hadn't heard 21st Century Schizoid Man a long time before Power was released? It's one of the most popular prog rock songs ever. I refuse to believe people here are that young, though you are probably right.
>>62536069
You don't like progressive. You don't understand progressive. Progressive isn't made for you.
>>62535502
Afree, this album is way better
>>62536306
>>62536306
Not helpful.
>>62535901
But I liked the album before /mu/ even existed
>>62535901
I listen to KC occasional and certainly dislike all ape music.
Except PR & CLS, they get a pass.
>>62535502
King Crimson more like King CUMSON

Probably the same reasons they like this garbage
>>62535502
You've got an enormous and powerful opener with insane instrumental passages followed by extremely beautiful and melodic numbers with amazing production for the time. Not to mention quality musicianship (fucking mellotron!) and the enormous amount of influence it has had. One of the earliest Progressive Rock albums.
It's not like it's that difficult to grasp OP.
>>62535901
is this the post-1994 syndrome?
>>62535901
I don't get the point of your post. Are you just saying that the only reason it's considered /mu/core is because it has a song that kanye sampled?
Or are you saying that anyone on /mu/ who says they like the album (other than you of course) is full of shit?
Either way your post is stupid.
Every /mu/core album is a meme. Except the ones I actually like.
i just like the album cause the album cover is pretty aesthetic desu
How i into progrock?

That's the best fucking musical composition ever if we dont consider classical music.
Seeing the word "meme" next to that album make me cringe
Fuck you
Which other King Crimson Albums are worth a listen?
>>62540700
How so? Because of le schizoid man and le cool cover art?
>>62540793
Red, Larks' Tounges and Starless
>>62540793
80's crimson is best crimson imo
>>62535901
What is 'power'?
>>62540841
Niggert
>>62541023
Great response anon, really made me think
Just kill yourself please
>>62540841
Because every single song is a masterpiece and all the songs together have an extraordinary cohesion and give to the album a perfect balance
>>62541053
Fucking retard
I need to read The Last of the Mohicans why am I doing this shit.
>>62541110

How sophisticated
Go put your fedora on, newfag

I disagree.

I really can't get into this album past the first song
>>62536751

>>62540939
A crap song by Kanye West.
>>62541409
Only the part that isn't green
But I do have to read it for my high school English class, god high school is the worst D:
>>62540890
Friendly reminder that 'Absent Lovers' is mandatory '80s' KC listening. And it has two songs from the '70s too.
>>62541512
You're in high school? kek
>>62541508
That's a BIG niggert
>>62541506
Also friendly reminder that King Crimson literally sampled 'In the Court' on its very follow-up. Listen to 'The Devil's Triangle'.

>Lark's Tounges in Aspic
I know plural genitives are hard, but for fuck's, you're recommending the album whose name you're misspelling.
>>62542085
>>62542033
(I almost agree BTW, 'LTiA' is the best album of the '70s three and it has the maturity and cleanliness that the debut hasn't.)
>>62542085
>/mu/ grammar nazis
i mean, ya'll know what I'm talking about though :)
>>62542147
that percussion...
>>62542085
okay your right, i guess i should be able to spell 'tongues' properly.
>>62535901
>is full of shit

>>62536459
same here, i got into it at 16 and I'm 30
>>62542221
Indeed. I used to consider the percussion passage in Part 1 (superior to Part 2 BTW) the standard for... I don't even know that. But this kind of instrumental spaghetti is very satisfying. I can only think of a comparably entrancing sequence in 'Silently Falling' by Chris Squire (featuring Patrick Moraz!).

*what
>>62542441
Oh, and it has Bruford on drums as well. Didn't even remember. Figures.
>>62542587
yeah, his style is most detectable on LTiA pt 2.
and is it bad if i think discipline is too "80's"? I never got into it as much. still pretty good, but not the best
>>62540297
>the wind cannot hear
:'(
>>62542696
Best song on the album tbqhwy
>>62535901
I heard the Rorschach version first.

Is 'the power to believe' any good?
>>62542695
>his style is most detectable on LTiA pt 2.
No, I meant he played on 'Fish out of Water'.
>is it bad if i think discipline is too "80's"
I don't know to be honest, to me music had ended in the '70s [spoiler]and was revived in the late '90 [spoiler]only to die again sometime before the '10s[/spoiler][/spoiler]. But I think 'The Sheltering Sky' for instance, my favourite(which says something considering how relatively slow it is), pretty much defies decades. (I vaguely remember liking the following version more BTW.)
https://youtube.com/watch?v=7c2H5TkR5Vk
Also I wouldn't know because frankly I hardly listened to the originals, but again let me say that 'Absent Lovers' has been almost universally claimed to give life to 'Beat' and 'ToaPP' numbers. It's on YouTube.

>implying
>>62535502
Are you a meme? Your life is meme. King Crimson is fucking great.
>>62540793
All of them. Fripp is a one in a generation tier genius.
>>62535502
Because they feel like they're supposed to. In truth, it's one of the least interesting King Crimson albums now that the dust has settled. Its real value is more to do with its context and the movement it inspired rather than the actual music.
>>62540793
>only listening to albums /mu/ tells you to listen to
If you were actually curious and aren't listening to music just so you can join in on the dank memes, you'd listen to them all.
>>62546075
King Crimson is just patrician dadrock
>>62542836
okay...maybe experimental music died in the 80's, but i wouldn't know. I haven't listened to every experimental rock album of that time period.
but music died until the late 90's?? dude: pixies, black flag, the stone roses..
and then hip hop
wu tang, tribe, beastie boys (post license to ill), nas, pharcyde
i mean, if those aren't your thing, thats fine. Music was dead to you, but theres some pretty good stuff that came out.
>>62546303
no, its actually pretty good. i like contemporary music, but i loved King Crimson when i was like 12
>>62546561
its pretty mediocre tbqh
>>62535901
yeah that's why 21st century was on fucking guitar hero before power came out. fuck off dindu
Because it managed to outdo the post-Barrett Pink Floyd before they even started.
>>62541506
literally his best song not because of that sample though
