LIZARD

GOD DAMN! THE best Crimson album ever. personally, I also think it's the best album I've ever heard... It's certainly a masterpiece to be added to any normal proglover's collection. It has the combination of deep (and a bit scary) instumental jazz and classic, with the touch of the common prog rock characteristics and it's special unusualness.

Tracks 2-3, Indoor Games and Happy Family, are very good. You just gotta to love them... jazzy and a bit freaky but all the same make you dance like youv'e never danced before (even if your'e not a dancer). Track 4 is a bit problematic. Some might say its simplicity is touching but I find it the weak spot of the album. 3 minuets of a nice flute, but no more to it than that. Cirkus, the first track, shows the perfect technic and harmony of Crimson. It's one of my all time favourite track. Just amazing. But it's almost as good as.......... Yes, Lizard itself! My favourite song ever! A song that concludes every good thing a song should have. This song makes the album one of the best albums ever, and with tracks 1-3 it recieves the 5 stars grade (it deserves) from me...

As said before (one or two reviews before my own), a Crimson gem.
