Review title: Burn your brain!
Product review: Fripp claimed at the time that he wanted to make a Beatles like album. That is, just as you can listen to a Beatles album and get something out of it on the twenty-fourth listen, he wanted to achieve the same with Lizard. The problem is a Beatles album is accessible on the first listen too, while Lizard certainly is not. And further, if you listen to this album twenty-four times, you WILL burn out your brain. It's too complex and clever for it's own good.However, the album does work on many levels. "Happy Family", a song about the Beatles, is very catchy. "Lady of the Dancing Water" is very mellow and quite beautiful. "Cirkus", one of my all time favorite Crimso songs, has a disturbing quality akin to the songs on 21st Century Schizoid Man. And finally, Jon Anderson's contribution to "Prince Rupert Awakes" is gorgeous, comparable in beauty to "Soon" in the "Gates of Delirium" (on Relayer).Be adventurous! Get this! You will be rewarded.
