Jon Anderson of YES Vocals on "Prince Rupert Awakes"
The first side of Lizard is not what I would call the best Crimson, don't get me wrong, it's very good, but compared to what KC can do, it falls a bit short. First off, I'm not a big fan of Gordon Haskells voice and Robert's guitar isn't that great either.
The second side is a completely different story. The song Lizard is beautifuly orchestrated, Jon Anderson's vocals On "Prince Rupert Awakes" is breath taking. Even Haskell's vocals are beautiful on "Prince Rupert's Lament".
I also really like the cover art, if you look you can see that the images are taken from the songs I think it's a very good concept for a cover.
