Fripp might've been a genius, but he was so wrong when he said Lizard was unlistenable. Yes, while the three songs in the middle of the album are not quite remarkable (even though they're still pretty good), the opener and the closer definitely make up for it. Cirkus is a very fun yet haunting tune that showcases how Crimson took on a new, darker yet jazzier sound. The title track was Kc's only attempt at a side long epic, yet it was successful. Prince Rupert Awakens was a great haunting intro with Jon Anderson on vocals and Battle of the Glass Tears is the amazing and intense climax of this song. I will always consider this album one of Kc's masterpieces.
