Robert Christgau says that In the Court of the Crimson King
"In the Court of the Crimson King [Atlantic, 1969]
The plus is because Peter Townshend likes it. This can also be said of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Beware the forthcoming hype--this is ersatz shit. D+
In the Wake of Poseidon [Atlantic, 1970]"

Christgau is hilarious. He has a lot of great one liners.

Christgau thinks that Captain Beefheart: Trout Mask Replica is the best album of all time

"Trout Mask Replica [Straight, 1969]
I find it impossible to give this record an A because it is just too weird. But I'd like to. Very great played at high volume when you're feeling shitty, because you'll never feel as shitty as this record. B+"

>Christgau can actually argue for his case
No, not really. He just likes making unhelpful one-liners about albums, which can be pretty funny sometimes I admit. But at a time when it wasn't easy to just check out whatever music you want for yourself, you would expect someone to y'know actually talk about the music and be helpful to music fans.
Is Christgau the worst thing to happen to """"music journalism"""" ??
