This KC offering is actually a good one. Lizard is the best, followed by Court of the Crimson King, Larks Tongue, this, and then Starless. Red is simply horrible with no merit whatsoever. This album is fun to listen to. But in typical Fripp fashion, he wears out 5 notes repeating them over & over, but those 5 notes are in some pretty good songs here. Worth 3 dollars.

But this is one of those albums. You know how it goes. You have the vinyl version, then the tape version for your car. Then the CD version because now you are older and want to hear it on your great stereo...., And NOW, you have your iPhone and want to hear it on that. So here we are.

One of the best prog albums ever recorded. Curious why it isn't available on Apple Music?

Had this in original release, bought it on vinyl, later recorded on a cassette which eventually melted in my car. Saw them live in NYC, small venue The Savoy 1982ish. Got to chat with my favorite drummer of all time Bill Buford who said it was unusual to have “lady fans”. Downloaded this, danced to those awesome beats once again, love the bonus tracks!!!

Drove cross country (US) with a friend when this album first came out and this album was a defining soundtrack for the journey. Still, decades later the album remains as cinematically beautiful as it was then.

Wow... beside the astounding fact that this progressive rock masterpiece is now available in this format with bonus tracks, listen to the massive influence modern- futurists Tool derived from this record. I'm positive Danny Carey would concur!!

I certainly hope the inclusion into itunes helps these wonderful players that I grew up with now and into retirement, I going to buy a "T" shirt ! Love to all and Yours Mr Fripp. Dave Klatt, Escondido Ca.

From Elephant Talk all the way to Discipline, a beautiful and complex album. 10/10

I originally wrote a lukewarm review here on this album but I've now realized how much I really love it. Robert Fripp is a genius, bringing King Crimson to a new wave sound but keeping that classic prog rock element to make this album what was a solid, pristine return to the musical scene for the group. "Matte Kudasai" is perhaps King Crimson's most beautiful song, and "Elephant Talk", "Indiscipline" and "Discipline" (the concept of this song is especially fascinating) are fantastic. If you liked In the Court, Red, or Larks' Tongues, get this album.

This album was a significant detour for KC as the Belew influence gave some tracks (Elephant Talk, Thela Hun Ginjeet) a frat party friendly sound that no previous lineup brought. More in league with the Talking Heads or the Police than their more expansive and improvisational offerings of the ’70’s. Not better or worse, in my opinion, just different. This album greatly adds to the lore of the band, and paves the way for the other greatest offering of the Belew-based lineup - Thrak ! I’d expect fans of Bowie, Yes, Genesis, Rush,…to LOVE this album ! Difficult to recommend one or two tracks, as this is an album with a theme that unfolds, culminating in the title track. Undoubtedly Fripp would also want you to experience the album as one event, start to finish, and that’s truly my suggestion !
