Our Take

Prepare to have your musical senses tantalized and your preconceptions shattered, as legendary rock outfit King Crimson unleashes their enigmatic and electrifying album, "Lizard."

From the moment the haunting soundscape of the title track envelops you in its ethereal embrace, you know you're in for a wild and unpredictable ride. Vocalist Gordon Haskell's mesmerizing croon guides you through a sonic landscape that is as dark and twisted as it is strangely beautiful.

Tracks like "Cirkus" and "Indoor Games" showcase the band's unparalleled musicianship, with intricate guitar riffs and complex time signatures that will leave your head spinning in the best possible way. And just when you think you've got a handle on things, the band throws a curveball with the avant-garde jazz fusion of "Happy Family."

But perhaps the real star of the show is the album's sprawling epic, "Lizard," a 23-minute journey that defies categorization and demands repeated listens to fully appreciate its intricacies.

Overall, "Lizard" is a bold and daring statement from a band that refuses to be pigeonholed. It's a musical odyssey that will challenge and reward you in equal measure, leaving you questioning everything you thought you knew about rock music. So strap in, open your mind, and let King Crimson take you on a journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist

King Crimson

King Crimson, the enigmatic British progressive rock band, is a veritable chameleon in the music industry. With a career spanning over five decades, the group has continuously pushed the boundaries of rock music, blending elements of jazz, classical, and avant-garde to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Led by the visionary Robert Fripp, King Crimson has seen a revolving door of talent over the years, with each iteration bringing its own distinct flavour to the band's sound. From the haunting melodies of "In the Court of the Crimson King" to the experimental sonics of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," their discography is a testament to their commitment to innovation and evolution. But what truly sets King Crimson apart is their live performances. Renowned for their improvisational skills and fearless musical exploration, the band's shows are a sonic spectacle like no other. With intricate arrangements, complex time signatures, and mind-bending solos, King Crimson never fails to captivate audiences and leave them in a state of awe. Despite their cult following and critical acclaim, King Crimson remains a somewhat elusive figure in the music industry. With a mystique that is as captivating as their music, the band continues to defy categorisation and challenge the status quo. Love them or hate them, one thing is for certain – King Crimson will always be a force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive rock.
