I guess it's a bit pointless to keep on arguing, however for the time being I just won't change my opinion about this song, and I'll keep on enjoying the first half and (most of the times) not listening to the second. I do love King Crimson, but there are aspects of the band I don't like so much. As for Dream Theater (I guess you checked what I have reviewed), it was sort of by chance that I have rated mainly their albums, and still I don't think there's anything to be ashamed about that. They are indeed among my favourite bands, but I decided to start rating them because I wanted a band that I could review both in PA and Metal Music Archives, because that site needed the ratings more than PA. However, I wanted to listen to the albums again before rating them, and I've been listening to many other albums, and I've been lazy to finish with my DT ratings. |

I know I sound unsympathetic, snobby, elitiest or whatever but unfortunately that's how I come across at times when I'm completely honest. I think we're responsible for our tastes and that it shouldn't be a static thing but something that should be challenged and that always expands.
When someone's who's rated nothing but Dream Theater albums starts to hate a song he loves until it morphs into something slightly challenging I can't help thinking that the greatness atleast 24 of us hear throughout, is for you yet to discover. |

Almost thought we were talking about the whole album there. I better read more carefully.
I must admit, I've only fully listened to the whole song only about 3 times, so I'm not familiar with it as most people. I really like it, but I prefer Cirkus for the best track on the album. |

No, it's not my FAULT, it's my TASTE. And I think I've heard the song enough times to be sure I just won't like the last two parts of it... though who knows, perhaps some 10 or 20 years from now I'll put it again and it will click. |

That's your own fault and not the song. Try again and again until you love all parts of it.

Should've been reading the question. Still, my answer stands. I like it ... a lot ... well, ... parts of it, 'cause "The Battle - The Last Skirmish" is a bit ... difficult. Still, the whole thing is a hell of a hoot.

It's definitely a song that you either love or hate. After a while, I LOVE IT. Much like every KC album.
Regarding the rest of the songs on this album, they're all incredibly solid. Not one weak song. Excellente!! |

Now, this one I can't quiet feel as an epic, but a collection of 4 different songs. The first 2 ones I like very very much indeed, they are on par with the best King Crimson ever released, but the other 2 songs, well, I just don't like them very much, so I guess I must vote "I like it".

Excellent. I can understand why some people might be put off by this album. However it's precisely it's quirkiness that makes this album so endearing

We're just talking about the title-track.
I think "Lizard" excellent. |

I like it, even if tracks 2 and 3 are too Gentle-Gianty.

I have to say it's been a real grower! These days it's probably my track of extended length.
