 "Lizard is a synthesis of the entire record, an authentic crucible where all the different moments of the constantly evolving Frippian/Crimsonian inspiration merge."

 "Fripp himself enlightens us on what the Crimson style is: 'I suppose Crimson is a way of life.'"

King Crimson's 'Lizard' is a distinctive, though sometimes underrated, album in their discography, marked by its intricate jazz-rock textures and poetic lyrics. Despite lineup changes and lower commercial success, the album demonstrates Fripp's continuous musical evolution and experimental spirit. The suite 'Lizard' encapsulates the album's complex, contrapuntal style with innovative transitions and thematic depth. This work deserves recognition beyond its 'lesser' label, offering cohesion, personality, and memorable moments. Dive into King Crimson's 'Lizard' and experience a unique chapter of progressive rock innovation and poetic depth.
