King Crimson

Lizard

King Crimson's Best album, nevermind what the critics say.

Review Score:

(10/10)
From the naif cover to the music structure it's imho King Crimson's best album, I like this one most out of the other seven first ones ( I mean from the "Court" to "Red"-which are great on their own right) because its sounds hellish heavenly. The addition of horns gives the rock a melt of jazzy classicism. The second side suite "Lizard" is a masterpiece, that blends Anderson's singing and the woodwinds and brass, mostly the trombone plus the drumbeats and Fripp's strumming surrounded by the piano is unforgetable. There's an indescribable mood that transports you to a timeless sense of music thrilling. This second side largely pays the record price. I wonder if lofty Robert is aware of this masterpiece. However, not reccomended for easy-listeners.
