Kurt Cobain called this the best album he had ever heard.

i was 17 when i first heard it all the way through but i'd listened to other king crimson albums before
one of their best, but all of the john wetton albums are so astounding that it's kinda overrated (only by a little though)

> Holy fucking shit, this is the best album I've ever heard in my whole life. WHY IS THIS NOT POPULAR?

I've tried to listen to other King Crimson albums, but none of them can even compare to this masterpiece. In The Court Of The Crimson King is magical.

Forgot my thoughts, I thought it was pretty good. Nothing amazing, but still good.

It's not on the Rolling Stones list of 100 best albums of all time.

Kurt said it was the one of the influences for the heaviness of his band's sound. It's a really good album.

>Hated it but cocaine was destroying my attention-span at the time so I just wrote it off as wank.

Came back to it only recently. It's great, I get the appeal, but it's not quite comfy enough for me. I prefer Caravan and Yes.

That's because Rolling Stone are cultural Marxist boomers who think anything with more than 3 chords is 'pretentious'.

>At age 15
>Fantastic, I enjoy Larks a little more but this album is still a wonderful experience for me and a notable inspiration for my own music
