3 stars ...And here it comes, the worst Wigwam song first on this single. But have to say this very cheerful stadiumrock piece doesnīt sound as bad anymore, when listening it in my almost five decades age. I can admit I have become more serene when becoming older and like also this kind of entertaining music. But whatīs most interesting in this single band seemed not to believe anymore they can trade fridgeīs to polar bears, because they added "The Lost Lizard King" into this. Itīs all the way really different and so much greater than the first piece. I think they should understand in the first place after their comebacks the only way to achieve success is to make their own music, not some "Wigwam-americana". In vinyl edition of "Titans Wheel" Rekku tells that lyrics of this Lizard King as also lyrics in the albums title song tells about Osama Bin Laden. It was only half years from WTC attacks when band recorded this album and those have shocked lyrics maker Jim Pembroke.

When Wigwam recorded their final album "Some Several Moons" they have understood they will never become internationally succeeded, so they didnīt release any single from that. This was the final single from the band in itīs active years. I am glad they add "Lizard King" into this, so it rise this single into three stars.
