Excellente!!   Yeah, I definitley Love the first two parts of this song, and I definitley hate the last two parts of it. That's your own fault and not the song. Try again and again until you love all parts of it. 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. 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.

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.

Epic (or excellent)

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. Quite a lot.

One of my favorite epics, maybe even (probably) even in my top 3.
