5 stars Lizard is maybe the most difficult album in history of music. I never heard such strange, complex and eclectic music like on this album. But because of this, this album is very interesting and in my eyes the best "King Crimson"-album.

In all songs you will hear so many instruments which are all plaiying different fancy melodies at the same time - but it works perfect and sounds wonderfull. Just the song "Lady of the Dancing Water" is very calmly and I think it would be better placed on "Islands" (maybe King Crimson should shift it with "Ladies of the Road" ;-) ).

If you listen to "Lizard" don't do anything else or you will not figure it out. Just listen and concentrate on this bunch of music. Then you will hear a magic-box of prog.

So, I just can give 5 stars. "Lizard" is definitively a masterpiece but only for prog-pros.
