Despite what you may think, this is the absolute worst record of all time. No songs about rock n roll, sex or drugs, and my biggest complaint is the display of talent, flawless combination, juxtaposition and integration of jazz and classical into sporadic 'rock' music. Integrate? Taking ideas from another genre, placing them perfectly into a diverse set of rock songs and making an album that rides on it's composition, elegance and quirkiness rather than on pop hooks and lyrics about doing drugs? Lol, hard. Pretentious drivel. Ersatz shit. Why would somebody torture themselves with supposed 'rock' music that doesn't even rock hard? Oh, please. Talent? Why display that in music? Why show off Fripp, why? Sure your compositions on this album were dense, artistically genius, varied, new, and light years ahead of their time but so what? Where are the fucking pop hooks and short songs? And what about the manipulation of the main melody in the closer track "Court of the Cocksucking King"? You think you're smart for placing a slower ambient section of a reworked version of the same fucking melody you used for the entire song as a bridge to a huge, loud, and epic conclusion. Haha. Nonsense. Is it rock n roll? Nope. It's talent. Who the fuck wants that? Ersatz shit to the highest degree.

>Christgau readily admits to having prejudices and generally disliking genres such as heavy metal,[1] art rock, progressive rock, bluegrass, gospel, Irish folk, and jazz fusion.[36] "I admire metal's integrity, brutality, and obsessiveness", Christgau wrote in 1986, "but I can't stand its delusions of grandeur, the way it apes and misapprehends reactionary notions of nobility".[37]

He really doesn't like prog rock, I ignore his take on it personally
