Ep. 20: Discipline - King Crimson

Discipline, the "comeback album" for King Crimson, and the architects of progressive rock. After seven barren years without any new King Crimson material, music fans were ready for this 1981 release to shower them with fresh new prog-rock tunes. And while the album is certainly innovative, it initially received mixed reviews from both fans and critics alike. The addition of two new members, Adrian Belew (vocals, guitars) and Tony Levin (bass, Chapman stick), combined with a multitude of different sound technologies and instruments contributed to this album being viewed as part of the "new wave" movement. Join Destin and Drew as they analyze each track of one of their favorite records and explain why this new King Crimson lineup was surely a force to be reckoned with.
