274. Larks' Tongues in Aspic

Larks' Tongues in Aspic
King Crimson
1973












Tracks
1. Lark's Tongues In Aspic 
2. Book Of Saturday 
3. Exiles 
4. Easy Money 
5. Talking Drum
6. Lark's Tongues In Aspic 


This album was just a hot mess but in a really charming way.  I was used to the kind of progressive rock like Yes, where it is mostly an embarrassing failure.  However, this managed to be experimental and fun.

It seems that every instrument under the sun was used in this album but for some reason it blends remarkably well.  Most of the songs were instrumental but "Book Of Saturday" wasn't and it was beautiful and sweet.  Definitely not like anything you have ever listened to before.

RATING: 4/5
