Episode 220: King Crimson (Pt. 2)

This week we're discussing every remaining album by legendary prog rock band King Crimson. This episode tackles 1981 - 2003, where KC mainstays Adrian Belew and Tony Levin first join the group. Despite some moments that are a bit dated (specifically in the production), Robert Fripp and company continue to surprise us with their sheer audacity in their songwriting. Maybe these albums aren't perfect, but they sure are impressive.
