Introduced and punctuated by a series of a cappella treated vocal pieces that highlighted the instrumental and song-writing skills of the surrounding material, the band was rarely so well served in the studio. ## Images ![POWER TO BELIEVE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oJeXZGOdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Mojo Returns - The "Red" of the Belew Years *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2017* No doubt the best post-Red Crimson album. For now anyway. Who knows what the current 3 drummer beast has in store for the future. Discipline is great, classic, but this is just a whole other level, folks. I loved it the first time I heard it. It delivers the promise of all the Thrak and onward versions of KC. Thrak was kind of... dumb. It's okay I suppose. What they started trying to do there is finally realized here. TCoL was pretty weak, mostly due to poor lyrics and even poorer production choices (a rarity for KC). TCoL sounds aseptic - harsh digital, sanitized... I don't know how to describe it. It really rubs me the wrong way. It's kind of a disaster in my opinion. All of that changes with Power to Believe though. This album is much more organic than TCoL. Much more open, many more acoustic drums in and amongst the ever-present e-drums. Or if what I'm mistaking for acoustic is actually digital, the tech finally caught up with the ear. Or maybe my ear finally is worn the hell out haha. Anyway...It's kind of silly for me to try to describe this music. Equal parts beautiful, virtuosic, and brutal. There are still lingering oversteps by Pat and some of the e-drum sonic choices, but these are minor disturbances for me. Many classics on this one - Level 5 (basically Larks part 5), Eyes Wide Open, Elektrik (the way this song builds is just incredible), Facts of Life (here and there you get KC cutting loose on pure funky riff rock - albeit short lived of course!), Dangerous Curves (I'll never forget seeing them play this live a few years before this came out on the Level Five tour - chills). It goes on and on. Jus a fantastic album.Make no mistake though, this is some pretty dense stuff. Not for your average listener. Probably not even for your average KC listener. This ain't In the Court, it ain't Discipline, it ain't Larks. It's like the sonic evolution of Red + Discipline, all dialed up to 11. Maybe wait for some time when the wife / girlfriend / kids are away, put it on a good system, and really crank it up. Monumental, and highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm Afraid of Americans *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019* I gave this line-up a miss for many years. How could an American King Crimson be any good? I had been a fan since '72. I had seen a stop ( the ill-fated "Fripp's a prima donna" stop in Denver with ZZ Top headlining) on the '74 "Road to Red" tour. I enjoyed the '81 to '84 line up but really didn't move me the way the earlier Crimson had. I got a bit curious after seeing the Chicago stop on the 2019 tour. I also had RADICAL ACTION, CHICAGO 2017, and MELTDOWN IN MEXICO. The LEVEL FIVE tune was fascinating. I had an appetite for more King Crimson so I purchased Elektrik. Boy was I wrong wrong wrong. Someone here on Amazon regarded THE POWER TO BELIEVE as good as LARKS TONGUES IN ASPIC. Well I concur, this is an EXCELLENT King Crimson release! So happy I purchased it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top of the Line Crimson *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2014* This may be the best Crimson album since the remarkable "Red" of the mid-70's. KC has formed, and disbanded so many times, but always under the leadership and direction of guitarist Robert Fripp, who gives the band its intellectual, progressive vision. They often are trying out new ideas, new instruments, and such is the case here again, with "Power to Believe". One never knows quite what to expect from Crimso, and I guess occasionally fans have been disappointed, what with all the changes, but I do not believe one can deny that this is a remarkable album! I found it heady, intense, exciting all along, and of course unusual; it fits beautifully into the King Crimson pantheon. The only change I would have made would have been to reverse the outside (cover) art with the inside work, for the latter gives us reason to hope, but the former, despair. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/23672376-power-to-believe](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/23672376-power-to-believe) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
