Negative Positive
Title: The magic is gone
Review: This latest incarnation of King Crimson is basically a variation on the Adrian Belew era ensemble that produced three masterful albums: Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair. Unfortunately, the songwriting on Thrak sounds rehashed and uninspired. I'm glad Adrian Belew has been rescued from doing Budweiser commercials, but I'm afraid it's too late. If you don't have the aforementioned three albums, I strongly recommend you pick those up. They all merit 5 stars.
