King Crimson ~ Thrak

4 Stars - Excellent - "...THRAK expands the quartet's inventiveness with jazz-scented rock structures, characterised by noisy, angular, exquisite (gizmo-drenched) guitar interplay over an athletic, ever-inventive rhythm section.", 3 Stars - Good - "...With THRAK, King Crimson have re-emerged from the interregnum with their passionate virtuosity grayed but not gone...", 4 Stars Out of 5-"...A Swaggeringly Triumphant Testament...", "...brainiac rock for those with strange urgings at other points in the body....THRAK is full of prickly textures, clench-fisted chords delivered with Glenn Branca-esque intensity, and tough attitudes more than prissy prog-rock notions...", "...The sonic results are perfect; one gets a historic feel for the genre, yet it never sounds nostalgic or merely eclectic..."
