I've never understood why Beat is so maligned among King Crimson fans. I think it's a phenomenal New Wave/Prog record, with great and varied tunes, backed by amazing musical craftsmanship.
What is so bad about it? I just don't get the hate.
The songs all feel weaker than Discipline. All of the fun aspects of that album are missing here.

It sucks when compared to their other records.

Come on, how is Sartori In Tangier not fun?

I think it's on par with ToaPP, and a worthy entry in the 80s new wave trilogy.

Weakest of the Discipline lineup, still great but not on the level of Discipline or Three of a Perfect Pair

Go listen to Exposure and you'll thank me later. That's what Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair should've been. All I'm going to give away is - Here Comes the Flood.
