Red is the fourth studio album by English progressive rock band King Crimson, released on October 5, 1974, by Island Records. It was the band's first album to feature the lineup of David Cross (guitar), Robert Fripp (guitar), John Wetton (bass and vocals), and Bill Bruford (drums).
The album is a departure from the band's previous work, incorporating elements of jazz, funk, and classical music. It is also notable for its complex arrangements, Fripp's dissonant guitar playing, and Wetton's powerful vocals.
Red was a critical and commercial success, reaching number one in the UK Albums Chart and number 45 on the Billboard 200 chart. It is considered to be one of King Crimson's best albums, and is often cited as an influence by other progressive rock bands.
The notable tracks on the album include "Red", "Fallen Angel", "Starless", and "One More Red Nightmare".
Red is a must-listen for any fan of progressive rock music. It is a complex and challenging album, but it is also incredibly rewarding.
