We say

An often underrated jewel in the Crimson crown, Lizard saw Robert Fripp heading further into his own unique sonic world. The title track alone is prog nirvana

 

You say (Ian Beabout)

I've always strongly identified with this dark horse of an album. It's wild, it's crazy, and every bit as colourful as the jacket art. To me, that's what makes it special. One of the things I love about this album is how, at just about any given moment, it sounds like the band might just fly off the rails. Wonderful!

 

Lady Of The Dancing Water, Prince Rupert Awakes 등의 2개의 고급스러운 발라드가 있는 앨범이다. 그 외에 다른 곡들도 연주가 좋다.
