Our Take

King Crimson's latest release, "Beatin'," is a wild ride through the ins and outs of prog rock with a touch of pure eccentricity. From the opening track, "In The Court Of The Crimson Queen," to the closing epic, "21st Century Schizoid Man (Reimagined)," this album is a journey through time and space that will leave you questioning your own sanity in the best way possible.

Robert Fripp's masterful guitar work shines brightly throughout the album, weaving intricate melodies that twist and turn like a psychedelic rollercoaster. The rhythm section, featuring Tony Levin on bass and Pat Mastelotto on drums, provides a solid foundation for the mind-bending musical landscapes that King Crimson is known for.

Tracks like "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part Four" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend heavy rock riffs with delicate acoustic passages, creating a sound that is at once chaotic and beautiful. On the other hand, "Easy Money" brings a funky groove that will have you tapping your foot and nodding your head in no time.

Overall, "Beatin'" is a testament to King Crimson's enduring creativity and musical prowess. It's a must-listen for fans of the band and newcomers alike. So buckle up, dear readers, because King Crimson is back and ready to take you on a wild, prog rock ride like no other. And it's a ride you won't soon forget. So grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and let King Crimson blow your mind.

About the artist

King Crimson

King Crimson, the enigmatic British progressive rock band, is a veritable chameleon in the music industry. With a career spanning over five decades, the group has continuously pushed the boundaries of rock music, blending elements of jazz, classical, and avant-garde to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Led by the visionary Robert Fripp, King Crimson has seen a revolving door of talent over the years, with each iteration bringing its own distinct flavour to the band's sound. From the haunting melodies of "In the Court of the Crimson King" to the experimental sonics of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," their discography is a testament to their commitment to innovation and evolution. But what truly sets King Crimson apart is their live performances. Renowned for their improvisational skills and fearless musical exploration, the band's shows are a sonic spectacle like no other. With intricate arrangements, complex time signatures, and mind-bending solos, King Crimson never fails to captivate audiences and leave them in a state of awe. Despite their cult following and critical acclaim, King Crimson remains a somewhat elusive figure in the music industry. With a mystique that is as captivating as their music, the band continues to defy categorisation and challenge the status quo. Love them or hate them, one thing is for certain – King Crimson will always be a force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive rock.
