Description:

Spin (01/04, p.48) – “…Prog was always heady, but Crimson made it heavy. And this is the heaviest Crimson of all….If you’re wondering where Tool came from, start here…” Q (7/01, p.87) – Included in Q’s “50 Heaviest Albums of All Time”. Q (11/00, p.129) – 3 stars out of 5 – “…With rockers that rock and a lilting English melancholy that tugs at the heartstrings…[It] envinces a lofty…ambition which they rarely, if ever, matched again.” The Wire (10/00, p.77) – “…The real gravy. Now down to the brutal trio of Fripp, bassist Wetton and drummer Bill Bruford, RED is 40 minutes of cathartic noise…” Pitchfork (Website) – “RED stands as one of classic rock’s heaviest, most meticulous albums. With its dark, meditative sheen, it laid the groundwork for Robert Fripp’s more atmospheric work to come.”
