I love Islands, but I can certainly understand not everyone being able to appreciate it.

Sorry, couldn't resist the Firesign opportunity.
I like Islands. Mabe #6 or #7 overall on the Crimometer |
Wow same for me, it's 6 or 7 when it comes to their studio albums. Love it, and if you do too check out the live Ladies Of The Road taken from the Islands lineup.

Oh yeah, I have that Ladies of the Road set. It's hot!

Definitely a Treasure. One of their best. And the title track is a thing of magic.

I see it as a bit of a mixed bag. Mostly a treasure, though there are certain moments I think it could do without.

Not as poor as In the Wake of Poseidon but still very patchy in my book. Take out the trash.

As I once said on another Crimson thread......all Crimson is good, some are just better than others.
