As a not-big prog rock fan, this is such a great album. Holds up and gets its flowers!

The album that truly births prog and for me encapsulates the best and worst tendencies of the genre.

Reds my go to Crimson, but this is a good introduction

This. Like a lot of the best prog I end up laughing at the ridiculousness of it one moment then I’m genuinely impressed the next one.

As basically a prog-denier, I will admit that everyone should at least check out those two Crimson albums.

A landmark album, but still no higher than 4th in my KC catalog. I think this one gets an extra boost from many because of one song.
