Lark the Starless
4 stars Powerful album by King Crimson, especially with the last song, "Lizard", which is just a monster, to say the least. Very jazzy album, probably the one with the most jazz elements out of the 70s, rivaling "Larks'..." Some cooky songs here as well, including "Happy Family", but overall, very enjoyable. It sure takes a while to fully get into completely, so be wary. Robert Fripp is clearly ahead of the pack with just surreal guitar work, never fully replicated. Indeed a must for KC fans and fans of jazz rock/fusion as well.

1. "Cirkus" - 8.5/10

2. "Indoor Games" - 8.5/10

3. "Happy Family" - 8.5/10

4. "Lady of the Dancing Water" - 9/10

5. "Lizard" - 10/10

44.5/5 = 89%, not quite a masterpiece in my book but an especially excellent addition.

Lark the Starless | 4/5 |
