Am I the only one who likes what King Crimson did until the 70s, and does not understand the direction they went with Discipline? I have tried listening to it and later albums, but I never got it. Anyone here can help me better appreciate King Crimson's music from the 80s on?
There's plenty of music I "ought" to like based on my general music interest but don't really care all that much for, or even dislike. I don't really know what makes me really like or dislike a particular piece of music, but it's pretty common for things to just not resonate with me.
For what it's worth, I never really appreciated King Crimson beyond the 70s either. Don't ask me why; in any objective sense they're a fantastic band and I can definitely appreciate their music to that degree, but for one reason or the other it just doesn't truly resonate with me shrug
I don't think there's a frame of mind or rationalization that can make you appreciate an album more. Personally I think Discipline is alright but I prefer other albums, even THRAK which came later.
