In The Court Of The Crimson King (1969)
I think the title tune’s really weird and kinda creepy, but it’s also got real song structure, decent rhymes, and some interesting music. A few vocal and musical hooks, actually.
The rest is sh1t.
Upped a notch for better color choice.
Grade: D+
Red (1974)
The instrumental lead-off, “Red”, gave me some hope that perhaps this purchase, guided by glowing album reviews, was FINALLY going to be the one that paid off for me.
The rest, however, is alternately boring and annoying. Never again. And this time, I MEAN it.
