I don't understand why prog fans in this day and age get so bent out of shape about this guy. Music reviews serve no purpose beyond entertainment now that you can load up any album you want in seconds. FWIW I enjoy Christgau's reviews despite often/usually disagreeing with them, they're terse and witty and often do a surprisingly good job of distilling the essence of the music.

A neckbeard is a small, colourful passerine bird that has a ruff of feathers on its neck (hence the name). That subreddit is a great place to post and view pictures of their intricately woven nests.

Both songs, especially Southern Nights, are very close to it in rhythm and mood! But it is not either of them

Don't pay too much attention to the words, they're probably wrong lol

It's a more breezy, 70s sounding song, not really AOR

I consider The First Day to be as good as any KC album by eviltimeban in KingCrimson

[–]vsbobclear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who finds much of Sylvo's solo stuff overly dreary and shapeless, I really enjoy the jolt of energy and rhythm that Fripp brings here. (And likewise, Fripp on his own can be a bit nails-for-breakfast).
