Probably my favourite album of all times. Music just didn't sound like that in 1969. Hell, it still doesn't.

The chaotic terror of 21st Century Schizoid Man is immediately and brilliantly followed by a complete change of mood in I Talk to the Wind. The contrast between the chaos and the flute that follows it gets me every time.

Possibly the craziest song on an album with nothing but crazy songs on it. Majestic as fuck.

i really gotta thank guitar hero 5 for having 21st century schizoid man on it. i loved it and i loved how insanely difficult it was to play. i also remember playing gh5 with my friends on my birthday and everybody freaked out because thats how they all learned where the sample from "power" came from (this was back in 2011 when kanye was not as......problematic 😂)

Cool! Robert Fripp is not the least complex guitar player on the planet, so it checks out.

it was drums that was the most demanding. i couldnt get past the middle section for the longest time
