I've listened to that too but I don't like the overstuffed sound to it, there's too much going on; listening to the versions off of The Great Deceiver sound like that was the way it was meant to be heard

>contains reworked LTiA and Red material, in addition to proto-Discipline material
>is better than a fair share of the KC discography

lol that's my favorite album of them, proto 90s.

>>74088381
Prefer Red to lTiA desu

It's one of their more structurally complex records. You won't find a single track on that record that's as simple as stuff on ITCOTKC or the track Larks' Tongues In Aspic Pt. 2

Their most overrated is their debut by far considering that it's just pop music with some extended instrumentals that are very simplistic compared to their later stuff.

I think its a rather understated album. Its definitely not my favorite, but it fits in perfectly mid way through my other favorite Crimson records.

I'd rather go for Crimson King, Discipline, and Lark's Tongue. But Red is a perfect fit in there.

Their first is the most overrated actually

>conveniently forgets 80s material

you seem to forget that structural complexity =/= quality

LTiA > *

they made the complexity completely accessible on red though

Discipline is far more complex than Red could ever dream to be yet it's second only to Beat in terms of accessibility

Their 80s stuff is very rhythmically complex, but is simpler in other ways compared to Red.

In this case yes it does.
1. Your own personal opinion isn't worth shit in a discussion like this.
2. The more depth there is in a particular work of music, the more the listener is capable of engaging with it, and the more replay value it has
3. Sure the above can have exceptions, but it mainly comes in the form of the music being visceral or atmospheric. ITCOTKC and Larks are neither as heavy as Red nor as upbeat as their 80s stuff. They also lack the kind of timbre to really create ambient soundscapes unlike quite a few of their peers.
