Belew's vocals on this album are maybe the best he's done for King Crimson. In particular his performance on "Dinosaur" is terrific. He has to do a little bit of everything on that one and there's no question he nails it. I've heard that there's a "THRAKBox" in the works (a package similar to Larks' Tongues in Aspic: The Complete Recordings, The Road to Red and Starless), which I'm already salivating over. This lineup was incredible.

I agree! It's a shame when so many people write off such great works without giving them a chance.

This one seems to be a bit divisive. Not to the extent that, say, Lizard or Islands is, but it seems to be one of the least popular Crimson albums. Unfortunate because the double trio was a terrific lineup that really opened up a lot of possibilities and made for some great interplay between the two guitarists, two bassists and two drummers. It's a bit reductive to say something like this but I'll say it anyway: To me THRAK sounds kind of like Red filtered through the sensibilities of the Discipline era band. The double trio was one of the best live lineups Crimson had, too. The live album B'Boom fucking kills.

Every King Crimson album is nothing short of amazing. This album certainly doesn't disappoint.

Perhaps Adrian Belew's finest vocal performances. And oh yeah... this album fucking rocks.

I heard 'In The Court..' & thought that was amazing then heard this! Even better! The Vroom sequence is excellent.
