I can agree with this...while it's a tossup between this and Red for my favorite King Crimson album, they definitely nailed it on the first go here. No other album has as much variety while simultaneously staying very cohesive. Red's one flaw is that the songs might be too cohesive. It starts to drag after repeated listens as a result.

Yeah, while I think that all of Red's ongs are awesome (aside from Providence, I honestly can't ge tinto that one), it does seem like they really were going for a more consistent style, and while some may say it's good, you can't deny that the surprise factor and variation of their debut is what makes it such a wondeful album and such a great band.

If "Wu Tang Forever" was a person it would look like this....

Decent trollin'

Dude, that's anything but trollin.. its called a joke... we're having a convo about an album and that is my response. It's funny, laugh, it won't kill you.

Don't be a prick just because you have no one to talk to :(

In fact, what you just did was the ultimate way of trollin'. Sticking your electronic schnoze in the middle of a convo that had nothing to do with you. Now put on your big boy knickers and grow up.

Wire-pink flag

:clap: totally agree :)

Yes.

Neu! is right up there for me, as is The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators.

the first two that popped in my head :)

16 Horsepower - Sackcloth 'n' Ashes

what a perfect beginning to an amazing band....this is such a strange and wonderful album....mixing amazing Americana and folk with a for of dark almost goth aesthetic.....there are as many songs about murder as there are about jesus.....and i think nobody can deny the absolute power of David Eugene's lyrics and ghostly voice....i celebrated their entire discography but none of the other albums even come close to the genius of this one....although Folklore is very close.....seriously if you have not heard this band.....get on it....they seem to be one of those rare bands that attract everybody

best track by far

Heroine Sheiks - Rape....On The Installment Plan

i always love to make the joke "this is what happens when Swans and Cows mate"....and it works......after the demise of Cows and well after Swans died this amazing band released its debut album on reptilian records.....and it was perfect....seriously not a bad track on here.....and although i love their later releases none of them come close to how good this is.....i mean any album that opens with the line "all rise! I've arrived" and ends with "today is another day...a day god made....to that i say FUCK!".....whats really great is this sounds nothing like Cows or Swans but has both feelings of said bands.....their only album that is 100% beginning to end
end.....

Um, sorry to burst your triumphant bubble but posting a picture of Jimmy from South Park is hardly stimulating good conversation. It also isn't very funny.

You should have posted a picture of a cat doing something hilarious. Then it would have been funny.
