King Crimson - Beat (30th. Anniversary Edition 2006)
Many People may concsider this to be the worst King Crimson album. Many People who even like the other two 80's dance Crimson albums ('Disciplin,' and '3 of a Perfect Pair,') which I feel is totally unfair. The production on beat is good for an 80's album, the lyrics may be a little poncy but thousands of people complain about the lyrics on the Crimson albums that they do like, so it shouldn't matter here either. The songs 'Heartbeat,' 'Requiem,'and the very rockin yet beautiful 'Neal, Jack and Me,' are all fantastic. The rest of the album is similar to the talking heads at the disco thingmore… the band had adopted on the previous album. The Pulsating and rhythmic 'Waiting Man,' deseves a mention aswell, with its bouncy interwinding drumming and great building music. Adrian Belew has a great voice and attitude, that shines out on this record more so than the previous or subsequent one. Beat may not be the best Crimson album but it doesn't deserve to be dismissed in the manner that it is... and I feel its much better than the other two 80's albums... much less convuluted and superiorly crafted. A great album to go to sleep or journey on public transport listening to.
