Oh ok, I thought it was like a very recent discovery.

If you want something completely different from those two albums then try Discipline. And if you really like that one also try Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair.

My personal preference ranking is like so

Court > Red > Discipline > Lizard > THRAK > Larks > Power to Believe > Starless > Three of a Perfect Pair > Wake of Poseidon > Islands > Beat > ConstrucKtion of Light

But COL is the only one I'd consider mediocre let alone bad. Overall their discography is probably the most consistant I've heard from a band with that many albums. And just because you hate the two albums I (and many KC fans) rank the highest doesn't mean you won't like the ones ranked below them because most of these albums have their own unique sound and feel.
I liked em both a lot, ITCOTCK just a tiny bit more (except Moonchild, yawnnnnnn)

I'll stick with the familiar King Crimson first and when I've exhausted that move onto stuff like Discipline. I'll get Poseidon next I guess. I do remember you telling me that I might hate Lizard because it's got a jazz feel to it
