4 out of 5 stars Oooh, me likey.......2007-07-13

Not as kick-@$$ as "Discipline", but a darn good album nonetheless.

As you probably know by now, this album consists of one part quirky new-wave prog and one part weird industrial soundscapes, plus (on this particular edition) some bonus tracks. The accessible stuff is pretty well done. "Three of A Perfect Pair", "Model Man", "Sleepless", "Man With an Open Heart", all good.

Then, "Nuages", etc., a pretty boring instrumental. Now onto the good stuff.

"Industry", while cool, is too long for a song that just sort of sits there and makes noise. The drums (with all apologies to the god-like Mr. Bruford) are boring and overall the rhythm section plods along to dull soundscapes. "Dig Me" is much better. Cacophonous, nearly free-jazzish music accompanies lyrics about a junked car during the verses and then there is a catchy chorus stuck in between. "No Warning" is like "Dig Me" but without lyrics or a chorus, just cacophonous craziness. "Larks Tongues In Aspic Part III" sounded to me sort of like they blended ideas from the first two parts together and then blended those ideas with their new approach to music to make something quite good, but not as good as the first two installments (you know how sequels are).

Bonus tracks: "The King Crimson Barber Shop" is a funny novelty, "Industrial Zone A" and "B" were probably outtakes from the industrial side and are decent, the "Sleepless" remixes are pretty good.

Overall, a worthwhile purchase. Not as good as "Discipline", same quality as "Beat" (yeah, I liked "Beat" too! Ha-ha!).

2 out of 5 stars Not enough music and too much noise !.......2007-05-12

Just like "Beat", this cd starts strong with the first three tracks but they are followed by experimental sounds goin' nowhere. A big dissapointement. When I buy a cd, I want to hear music, if I want to hear noise, I put a microphone in the dishwasher !

5 out of 5 stars they have their cross to share, three of a perfect pair.......2006-12-21

After the somewhat uneveness of Beat, the band bounced back into top form with this album which is one of the band's best. I find this album to be a perfect mix of songs. From classics like Sleepless and the title track to less known songs like Model Man(another classic by the way). The instrumental tunes like Larks, Tongues In Aspic Part Three are some of the most interesting tunes recorded. I feel that this album has never quite gotten the respect it deserves. The new cd version also has some cool bonus songs. If your getting started or if you have others by the band DON'T MISS THIS.

5 out of 5 stars Wake Up, World!!! This Is Perfect Rock!!!.......2006-06-11

I bemoan a world where rock critics and so-called purists still routinely pass off everything that came after John Wetton in the history of King Crimson. As if the majority of people know the first thing about King Crimson outside of perhaps hearing "21st Century Schizoid Man" and a few other noteworthy tracks from _Court of the Crimson King_, a great moment almost four decades removed and certainly remotely connected to the mastery, emotion, and experimentalism exhibited on _Three of a Perfect Pair_.

I've never really understood why people dismiss Crimson after Belew came in the band. The reason that Belew has led the band twice as long as all its other singers combined is because THIS IS THE BEST LINE-UP!!! _Three of a Perfect Pair_ is a better album than their most famous release, _Crimson King_, and its only rival for best KC release ever is the Belew-led _Discipline_. Don't get me wrong, KC had many a moment before Belew, especially _Islands_, _Lizard_, and a handful of classics from the otherwise bloated _Crimson King_. What they finally got with Belew is a match for Fripp in all the most important departments: songwriting, guitar-playing, and bold spirit. And perhaps their first totally coherent release with _Discipline_. Add the fact that Belew creates harmonies worthy of Yes and writes existentially intriguing lyrics (and doesn't sound like a feathered college boy like John Wetton), and you've got albums that works on more fronts than most anyone else can dream of creating.

_Perfect Pair_ starts in pop nirvana with a quartet of songs that, yes, seem to put the new wave in Crimso (spec. Talking Heads), but have an infectiousness, musical dexterity, and poetic scope that mark them as being all their own. The album nimbly and uncannily switches gears on the second side (yeah, we're going back to LP days, kids), which doesn't contain any lyrics until its third song, "Dig Me," that rare paean to a junked automobile's emotions that despite all odds is able to attain choral transcendence after the pre-NIN industrial grindscape of the verse. An unforgettable rock moment, that, alas, far too few of my compeers can claim to have encountered even in passing. What kind of world do I live in?

One where I alone amongst my friends can know the subtly jagged instrumental interplay between Bruford, Levin, Fripp, and Belew. One where I have yet to hear a song by one of the top ten rock bands ever played on classic rock radio (that band is Crimson). A lonely world made so much more tolerable by the enduring genius displayed on _Three of a Perfect Pair_.


5 out of 5 stars Underrated!.......2006-06-05

The general consensus was that the 80s lineup of King Crimson released one progressive masterpiece (DISCIPLINE), one above average pop album (BEAT) and one album that's half filler (THREE OF A PERFECT PAIR). I'm here to refute that notion and claim that the last chapter of the so-called 80s trilogy is very worthy of praise.

The first half of the album continues the direction that the band took on BEAT... sublime 80s art-pop that's influenced by collaborations by each of the members outside of the group. What I mean is that you can hear the influence of Bowie's SCARY MONSTERS in Fripp's guitar playing, some Peter Gabriel in Levin's rhythm work, and of course the Talking Heads sound in Belew's vocals and guitars. As for Bruford, what else can be said... he had been with the band since way back on LARKS' TONGUES IN ASPIC and he is perhaps the greatest drummer in prog rock.

The second half of the album takes a turn into weirdness, and that's where the appeal lies. BEAT is a fine record, but you could sense the band going through the motions. One of the most attractive things about King Crimson is Fripp's willingess to keep reinventing his sound and trying new things (particularly in the 90s, when the band would fully embrace bold improv experimentation instead of merely flirting with it). Side Two of THREE OF A PERFECT PAIR is the precursor to Krimson's 90s improvisation, and perhaps a successor to Fripp's 70s Eno collaborations. The intriguing soundscapes benefit greatly from Belew's mastery of the guitar (most underrated guitarist ever?) and, of course, Fripp's signature style of playing. "Larks Tongues in Aspic Part III" is a worthy successor to 70s versions.

The CD releases features a third side of music, referred to on the back of the CD case as "The Other Side." The opening piece is an amusing barber shop acappella skit ("We Don't Play 21st Century Schizoid Man!!!"), some instrumental exerpiments, and three remixes of the hit song "Sleepless." Of the three, Tony Levin's version is the best.

I urge fans to revisit this album. It may not quite scale the heights of DISCIPLINE, but it is a vital and underrated entry in King Crimson's vast storied discography.

4 out of 5 stars good album.......2007-07-10

i been a fan of king crimson since the early eighties,they dont get much airplay on the radio.its good to listen to this album

3 out of 5 stars "it's alright to feel a little fear".......2007-07-08

Luis Mejia (son) - The last of three albums in the 80's for King Crimson, turned out to be a little more commercial but quite unfocused. King Crimson had always shown dark and serious works, some with their soft inclinations, and this is truly NOT a prog and pop album, is just a prog album with pop melodies. It is mainly characterized by the 2 sides on the LP; one with all sang songs and the other side with the instrumentals.

KC two past albums, Beat and Discipline, wich are excellent, still contained a lot of complex aspects and moods, but in this one they seemed to fall for pop inclinations instead of noticing that the complexity and sweet rythms of the previous two albums were what made them so special.

It can be noticed that the lyrics of each track are written carefully and in an intelligent way, certainly the best aspect of the album, apart of the incredible melodies shown in the first four songs. This was my first KC album, and I wasn't surprised because of the melodies, I was surprised because of how different they played music, but I'm sure I would be more impressed if I would have heard Discipline instead.

Within the tracks, the first four songs are melodiclly awesome, pleasure for the tired ears, and very comprehensible for the ones who don't know about King Crimson music because it isn't so difficult and complex for understanding, but that's the same wrong aspect of the album; people who spect complexity and stunning musical performances won't be very impressed.

The other four songs are all instrumentals, and they're musically difficult to comprehend but not so complex as other instrumentals, they can become even boring, and these instrumentals are so different from the first tracks that the two halfs of the cd seem to be different cds; another excellent aspect for the waitting fan was the largely dessired continue of Lark's Tongues In Aspic, but not as stunning like those in the cd Lark's Tongues In Aspic.

This album also stays a little apart of the past two albums because instead of being an album dominated by the (excellent) Levin's Chapman Stick it's dominated in Fripp's guitar, which he plays in a humorous and more simple way not seen before; the neurotic voice of Belew is another excellent feature that gives to the songs a nice touch.

In conclussion the cd is much more comprehensible than other works but still is not their classic mood played as always, the mood that we all know and love, I can even regard it as their second worst albums, following The ConstrucKtion Of Light.

A lonely world made so much more tolerable by the enduring genius displayed on _Three of a Perfect Pair_.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best King Crimson recordings.......2005-11-12

I think along with Starless and Bible Black and the first album, this is one of the best KC recordings. I can't say too much because I still have to get Red and Discipline. But I think a lot of this album.

I think it is notable because of Tony Levin's synth work. There are many swirling colours on this one, and the instrumental tracks are really inventive. The vocal tracks are really catchy and really fun, my favourite being 'A man with an open heart'. Although Sleepless was the single, I can't help feeling the most likely hit would have been the title track, but then I wasn't alive in 1984 so I won't argue with Fripp and co.

Except for the ethereal beauty of Nuages (the cloud reference is very appropriate), the instrumentals have a sleazy - down a back alley - feeling to them and a menace that is enhanced by the tension building drumming of Bill Bruford. This is probably the most experimental they ever got with texture's and tones, that said, I haven't heard Discipline so can't compare the two.
A really interesting track is 'Dig me', the sad story of an abondoned automobile. I think it works so well because it has elements of late 50's rock n roll, which is when they were always singing about how much thay loved their car. The drumming gives the air of destruction. It's all very skewed sounding. The guitar tone is really interesting throughout the album.

Well, you've heard my rant and rave, I think it's a masterpiece that is one of the greatest albums ever, but you should form your own opinion. The remaster comes with bonus tracks. The King Crimson barber shop features Tony Levin quadrupling up as King Crimson, and the industry Zone songs are pretty cool. Then there's remixes of 'Sleepless'.

5 out of 5 stars Crimson King's.......2005-04-07

This is possibly the greatest band ever assembled and so it goes without saying that this is the greatest King Crimson incarnation. Tony Levin is simply the greatest bass player on the planet and Bill Bruford rivals Neil Peart and Mike Portnoy as the greatest drummer on the planet. You'll notice I've used the word "greatest" a lot, but it can't be helped. There's no other to word to describe this phenomenal band. Okay, I guess you could use the word "phenomenal." Sleepless is possibly my favorite Crimson song of all time and there's four versions of this masterpiece on the remastered CD (the original recording and three bonus remixes). I could go on and on boring everyone with my synopsis of this album, but I'll just say that if you like artsy, adventurous, and innovative music performed by unbelievably talented musicians, you will absolutely love this album and their two prior efforts Discipline and Beat.

5 out of 5 stars Another King Crimson Masterpiece........2005-01-18

This album can be considered as one of the masterpieces of 1980's King Crimson. Along with "Discipline" and "Beat", "Three of a Perfect Pair" re-defined the sound of the new King Crimson after its 70's era of psychodelic melodies and excentric passages. Adrian Belew(guitars), Tony Levin (bass, stick) and Robert Bruford (drums) who also was part of King Crimson during the 70's, answered the call of guitar virtouso Robert Fripp to mold a new image and sound for the band. The new King Crimson offered a combination of mellow sounds and melodies with hard and heavy rock riffs, whitout leaving out the excentricity and the constant search for new sounds that defined King Crimson. In this album, one can find different pop-related pieces, such as "Man With an Open Heart", or more psychodelic songs like "Dig Me". The virtousity of bassist Tony Levin can be appriciated in songs like "Sleepless". As in all progressive music, complicated time signatures are also present in this album. Each and every sound of this album is so unique and succesful that one almost dare to say that "Three of a Perfect Pair" is to King Crimson what "Sgt. Pepper's" is to the Beatles.

4 out of 5 stars Almost 'Perfect' King Crimson.......2003-02-02

"Three of a Perfect Pair" finds King Crimson mixing their unique musical stylings together with an unbridled lyrical sensibility - this time from a more bluesy perspective than with earlier efforts. Gone are the "avant"-jazz type arpeggiations and psychological/"schizophrenic" observational type lyrics that were trademarks in previous efforts. But, that makes "ToaPP" a more enjoyable work filled with the unexpected. Then again, King Crimson has always been about experimenting with sensationally new ideas - bringing a fresh and unique approach to each and every recording. Different lineup changes through the years also confirms this fact. Lead singer Adrian Belew's long-pause a cappella of 'She-e-e-e' from the opening title track leads the way into Robert Fripp's bluesy guitar augmentations, then the rest of the band joins in for a somewhat loose and tight-knit musical coda simultaneously. Most of the selections here combine lyrical strength from Belew's lyrics with musical muscle, courtesy of the strong, homogenous rhythm section of Fripp, Tony Levin and Bill Bruford (w/the latter two on bass/stick synthesizer and drums, respectively). This rhythm section brings forth such awe-inspiring wonder in the instrumentals "Nuages (That Which Passes, Passes Like Clouds)" and on the rather elastic "Industry", which features some very fine bass/guitar/synthesizer/percussion mesmerizations. "Dig Me" displays a very loose, frenetic style, and finds itself switching directions for no apparent reason. "Man With An Open Heart" has radio-friendly vibes written all over it, but, it still has that Crimson-esque touch etched into it as well. "Sleepless" contains a remarkable Talking Heads-type semblance, complete with a David Byrne sound-alike vocalization from Adrian Belew - and with a country flavor too, something else that's new from Crimson. "No Warning" goes off on its own noteworthy tangent, while "Larks' Tongues In Aspic, Part 3" contains some flashy, brilliant moments, only to be outdone by their "Part One" and "Part Two" predecessors from the classic "Larks' Tongues In Aspic" album from 1973 itself. Sadly, "ToaPP" would close another musical chapter in the Crimson library, and is their last excursion of the 1980's. Yet more lineup changes would ensue for the 1990's and into the 2000's, although Fripp and Belew would remain on board during that time frame. Although both above immediate time periods would find KC exploring darker musical/lyrical alleys, "Three of a Perfect Pair" is Crimson playing good "progressive" blues, and with a tremendous feeling at that.
