replace the studio version of schizoid man with the radio edit and its a 10
Replace the studio version of schizoid man with the radio edit and its a 10
its still a 10
the only song that needs a radio edit is moonchild
a good edit for moonchild would be cutting it entirely
Plebs. Moonchild is great.
No, 3/4 of Moonchild is useless garbage.
Providence is the same idea but actually good
>Deletes Every track but the Bif Hit
now that's an AOTD
have sex and then try and type that with a straight face
If you guys are only into music for the pop hooks, then maybe you should just listen to the radio instead.
>listen to crimson king again
>each song is only like 2 minutes long with 4+ minutes of aimless droning instrumentals appended because king crimson thinks this is artful
its time Yea Forums finally admits that this album is a piece of hacked together shit
remix every track to include a Kanye West rap section and it's 100/10
great idea, the rap verses could all fit perfectly in the spaces where nothing is happening but weaksauce guitar riffs and poorly mastered trumpet
you accidentally put a 10 in front of that 0/10, user
>combines ITCOTCK, Lizard and Red in one album
Not that's a masterpiece.
ngl I've been trying to get into it and this is exactly my problem with it.
These songs have awesome parts, and what appears to be a looping improvised jamming session in between. Maybe it just hasn't aged that well.
>radio edit
where can i hear this
fripp is a fuck its not on spotify or that giant torrent of all his shit
yes it is
>again
Don't lie.
oh shit your right
would i lie to you user?
Modern radio pop doesn't even have hooks anymore.
Would you?
twenty first century improvised jamming right in the middle of the fucking track man
the nazis were bad enough, now newfags say the 'whole album' when referring solely to moonchild.
moonchild is the only worthwhile track on the whole fucking thing, what are you talking about?
Damn wtf, first Peter Gabriel and now this?
i'm saying the guy is an idiot, not that moonchild is bad.
the post quoted was 'it's all 2 minute tracks with aimless instrumentals appended' and that is pretty much a newfag description of moonchild
thats an accurate, if slightly exaggerated, description of the whole album. you get like a 2 minute chunk where the vocalist is actually performing and a slight regard is paid to the rules of song composition, and then a 5 minute lull where nothing happens but the same stale fucking guitar riff repeated ad nauseum and the trumpet goes EPIC FUCKING SICKO MODE while you wait for the next song to come on. this cycle repeats a few times and then the album ends and the listener realizes they've been duped into listening to an overly long jam sesh by a group without the musical skill to justify it.
Do you think any instrumental solo is a "lull where nothing happens"?
I'm sorry you are tonedeaf.
i can tell a good solo from a bad solo and i can tell a decent album from an album that was released half-finished. if i had paid for crimson king id have been immensely dissappointed and i would have asked for a refund.
I don't count rote repetition of a single phrase with little to no melodic content as a hook.
>little to no melodic content
You are full of shit. Prove a pop song with no melodic content exists.
>trumpet
if you're talking about schizoid man, that's a sax. but i can tell you're fucking around anyway, nobody has ever seriously contended that fripp is talentless
you sound like a 12 year old
i never said talentless, i said lacking in musical skill. crimson king is good but not good enough to justify an album that's 2/3rds jam sesh, we reserve that kind of respect for groups like the Grateful Dead. i will concede on the sax/trumpet bit though.
not an argument dude
there's nothing jammy about it though. there's free improvisation on one song, otherwise the solos are very much written out. if you were talking about, say, Starless and Bible Black, i would maybe concede the point of 2/3rds jam sesh, but even still, that album is far more interesting than anything the dead ever did.
jojo
dont say that about the dead man
listen to the live shit
listen to unbroken chain
i have, and fuck that noise, it's only impressive to people who don't actually play music. "LMAO IT'S DIFFERENT EVERY TIME! IT'S LIKE A TOTALLY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE!"
i can get down with american beauty and aoxomoxoa and that's about it.
this guy hates america
nah, i love it to death. and because of this, i can use my first amendment rights to declare loudly that jerry garcia is overrated as fuck
most people these days only like the dead cause one or both of their parents were deadheads
I just started listening to this because of [spoiler]JoJo[/spoiler] and at first I thought it sounded like garbage but then on the second loop it sounded amazing
This isn't the only album that did that for me either, happens all the time. How can the second listen sound SO much better than the first?
first listens usually come with some kind of expectation, or maybe you don't pick up on every detail the first time through. further listening usually makes different shit stand out. most albums i love nowadays are things that took me a while to come around to
Delete every song but leave Moonchild and extend it by 30 minutes.
Now it's a perfect album.
this guy gets it
I would enjoy this sort of ambient jazz, does it exist?
look up cibbo matto and thank me later ;)
