Um, yeah. It's one of my favorite albums. I'm pretty sure I would know who the artist was that made it.

I remember it being very good, though difficult to go through at times. The closer is absolutely stunning, but Providence is about as good as Moonchild, i.e. completely pointless. I much prefer their debut.

I think his point was that music at its best is certainly not a King Crimson album. 
It has been a long time since I've heard this.

I'm basically with Goodsir on this one. It's stunning. It's wild and dark and crazy and it just sounds more heavy and harsh than their debut. I also like it a lot more than Crimson king. It's epic and complex without coming across as trying to show off or some such thing. And, damn, "One more Red Nightmare" is, well, kind of nightmarish.
A beautiful album.

Absolutely.
#2 on my overall, and I think it's going to remain there.
