5 stars An album that has many people baffled but remains maybe the finest they ever released. If for nothing else listen to this album for the first song, Cirkus. Some people don't get the song at first. That's okay, keep listening. The song is a modern masterpiece and remains as fresh and strange and mind-boggling and soul fulfilling as ever! Upon repeat listens the song never gets old or boring. It continues to amaze me and perplex me. The way the mellotron complements Fripp's speedy fingerpicking and Goldon Haskell's thick, salty voice over the top of it never ceases to amaze. Michael Giles replacement on drums Andy McCullough is no slouch either. He improvises in the same unique way as Giles but gives it his own personal touch. The rest of the songs on the album are good. Lizard the final song is one to listen to several times and then pick out the parts you like best. Jon Anderson does great vocals on it too.

Allow yourself to listen and be amazed!
