Rated 6/10
I liked some of this a lot. And I disliked some of this quite a bit too.
Rated 8/10
Very prog, and very good. Even the bonus tracks (including a wee interview) add something. Falls just short of full marks for me, but a solid nomination
Rated 10/10
Obvious Talking Heads comparisons incoming, but to call it a rip-off would be a heavy disservice to this amazing album. So much blood and sweat goes into almost every inch of this record, and the David Byrne esque vocal style only accents the amazing guitar work and demented funk that this album exudes. Listen to that vile anger on Indiscipline, or the sweet melodic guitar work on Matte kudasai. The new wave helped this album stand on its own, but to just call this "King Crimson goes new wave" does such a disservice to this album that I truly wish everyone could listen to this with a fresh pair of ears and hear all the nuances allowing this album to be light years ahead and all its own. Even if Adrian Belew does do a sick David Byrne impression.

Never realised King Crimson had an 80’s era. This is good and reminds me of talking heads, but I do prefer their earlier stuff.
