Replace the studio version of schizoid man with the radio edit and its a 10

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.
