Red
10.0
King Crimson had a mightily prolific career during their first five years, but on Red is where the magic really happened. Yes, this is the apex of King Crimson’s career and, by induction, the pinnacle of progressive metal. Let’s dive into one of the most excellent, unfuckwithable, timeless, and influential metal albums of all time.
