Album Notes & Community Reviews
Operating effectively as a Robert Fripp studio project with a heavily rotating cast of jazz musicians, 'Lizard' is King Crimson's most intensely eclectic, deeply eccentric offering. The album is wonderfully playful and fiercely complex, weaving highly progressive, brilliantly cryptic medieval fantasy into beautifully orchestrated, remarkably psychedelic symphonic jazz-rock.
