This album is actually genius. It’s like taking an auditory edible… you don’t feel it at first and then it kicks in. Easily one of the most unique and best-executed listening experiences from the 80s.
IM READY TO LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAVE
>>130310477This is actually pure trash, boring, derivative wankery, awful garbage to torture people you don't like with.
Model Man is fucking crazy, I think Beat is overhated too
>>130310634Agreed. Sartori in Tangier and Waiting Man are some of the best 80s Crim songs.
>>130310477Hot take, SOPHIE's later stuff like Heaven Suspended and the Cum remix (perhaps nu-Autechre too) is the modern-day equivalent of this sort of proggy technical autistic AMAB music, just in different clothing

>>130310634the 80s albums are great but they aren't for casuals
>>130310634Beat is cool. It was a constant as pre-set music at major concerts in the 80's and 90's. >Neal and Jack and Me
>>130312960I am not lying when I say NJM changed my fucking lifethat outro is out of this world. Im so happy I got to see Beat last year, they sounded amazing.
>>130310784Bill's setup is insane. You can tell Muir really rubbed off on him.
>>130310527Dig meBut don'tBury me
>>130310477The album is genius as a troll. It's such a fucking abomination. Every few years I'll give it another shot, and every time I am reminded it's irredeemable trash. I have no idea how the band behind Larks' Tongues, Red, Lizard, Discipline, etc could do this.>>130310689> Sartori in Tangier and Waiting Man are some of the best 80s Crim songs.low bar but okayWaiting Man is kino though, especially the Absent Lovers version.
>>130316226>low barWhat? Sleepless, three of a perfect pair, model man, elephant talk, mate kudassai are some of the best songs of their career and from.the 80w in general
Can't stand 2/3 of KC's 80s material. As much as I worship Discipline the other two are just unbearable to me. Belew and crew are currently on this tour promoting KCs 80s material and frankly I don't get it: Three and Beat have so little to do with Discipline I don't understand why they'd ever be bundled together.
>>130310477Apparently while making this album, the members of King Crimson were listening to industrial music. I want to know what exactly they were listening to. I can't imagine them sitting down and listening to Throbbing Gristle.
>>130310477This is a great example of an excellent A side and a horrendous B side. TOAPP, Model Man, Sleepless are all elite but after like, man with an open heart it just becomes lousy
Ive only ever heard ItCotCK. How does this one compare to it?
>>130321530Very very different sound. Good in its own right, but very different.
