Your In The Court review was pretty good but your In The Wake of Poseidon score is incredibly generous for what was really a lackluster performance by KC trying to hard to replicate In The Court. Which has led to In The Wake not aging very well at all and suffering tremendously because of it. Also song by song reviews normally don't work at all (Especially for progressive rock) but you've managed quite well.
I consider ITWOP to be more consistent than their debut but not as good. I don't doubt that the album formats are similar, but I guess I'm fairly forgiving with this because of how drastically they would progress in the future between albums. There wasn't much progression from their debut to ITWOP by KC standards, but I guess on the scale of things (compared to other bands), it's forgivable.

I'm especially looking forward to reviewing Red.
