Maybe. But KC know when less is more. They could write a gorgeous ballad, a straight up rocker or a simple pop song when they needed to. Fripp and the gang also know the importance of build ups and repetition, and when staying silent is appropriate.
Prog isn't just a big orgy of scales and time signatures, even though that's what Dream Theater seem to believe.
