Crimson Rocks
This is quite simply a perfect King Crimson album from the opener, Neal & Jack & Me which propels the listener along with a funky undercurrent but it is also the contrasts between the noise of urban chaos in Nerotica that is placed next to the erotic beauty of Two Hands and Requiem as the last track is a bit scary.
Unbeatable

Underrated
Many People may consider this to be the worst King Crimson album. Many People who even like the other two 80's dance Crimson albums ('Discipline,' and '3 of a Perfect Pair,') which I feel is totally unfair.
The production on beat is good for an 80's album, the lyrics may be a little poncy but thousands of people complain about the lyrics on the Crimson albums that they do like, so it shouldn't matter here either.
The songs 'Heartbeat,' 'Requiem,'and the very rockin yet beautiful 'Neal, Jack and Me,' are all fantastic.
The rest of the album is similar to the talking heads at the disco thing the band had adopted on the previous album.
The Pulsating and rhythmic 'Waiting Man,' deserves a mention as well, with its bouncy inter winding drumming and great building music.
Adrian Belew has a great voice and attitude, that shines out on this record more so than the previous or subsequent one.
Beat may not be the best Crimson album but it doesn't deserve to be dismissed in the manner that it is... and I feel its much better than the other two 80's albums... much less convoluted and superiorly crafted.
A great album to go to sleep or journey on public transport listening to
