I'm lucky enough to have a friend with a great music taste who showed me this incredible album and I'm just curious about the music taste of the HS community. Will this thread be able to reach 10 view? I actually don't know. Let's find out!
For me it was stunning. I'm a big Pink Floyd fan and a lot of ways I felt the same energy in this album like in the Dark Side of the Moon. And of course Moonchild... Oh my God!
If you're frustrated because of something (like HS :D) just listen to this masterpiece.
If thats the King Crimson Album... Hell yeah! King Crimson are amazing. I'm a huge Prog Fan so anyone that knows about this stuff gets a massive +1 from me 🤘
I am also a huge Pink Floyd fan, and i absolutely like the King Crimson, but not as much.
Imo, the Court is a good album, but not as mind-blowing as Ummagumma, or Animals or the Echoes track.
Surely Moonchild gets very close to that.
If you like King Crimson and The Floyd you'll love Camel, Wishbone Ash, Jade Warrior and even some Opeth (check out The Drapery Falls, cracking tune).
Then there's Emerson Lake and Palmer, Eloy, Yes....so much good stuff out there. And there's some modern, slightly heavier Prog as well such as Black Peaks and even some stuff by Architects...

You sir have strange tastes in music. I think most people (including the bands themselves, though clearly not yourself) would agree that Ummagumma is Floyd's worst album and Moonchild is the worst song on Court of the Crimson King.
Anyway, this was one of the first albums to take the blues out of rock and replace it with Jazz and classical (the birth of progressive rock). Crimson has several very different iterations, and I often go back and forth as to what I like best, but I love them all! I would check out also Larks Tongues in Aspic (mid-70s, more experimental), Red (a little heavier), Discipline (80s reboot with a new-wave tinge, but still heavy) and their most "recent" The Power Believe (Acid Jazz Metal)
Also if you can find them, concert bootlegs from the late 60s are amazing. The do a bit of jamming, they even released an tire album of different live jams from the middle section of 21st century schizoid man. And hearing them play the classical tune Mars, while destroying their drums, guitars and mellotron is something else entirely.
EDIT: Here's a 60s concert. Mars is the last tune (at 36 min)

Rejoice, for even in death, you have become children of Thanos.

Great album. Great cover art - quality
*and Confusion will be my epitaph!
One of the best progressive rock album of the 70s.
Memories :)
