Lizard vs. Islands (King Crimson)

Me and my friend are in a discussion now on which King Crimson album is better, Lizard or Islands. I say Islands, he says Lizard. I want to know what you guys think.

Lizard is the best.(Though that is subjective) This is my favorite Crim album & one of my favorite albums of all time.

Lizard.
I like Islands too but Lizard is, i think, the most striking thing they did in this transitional period of the band.

I happen to be that friend and I would just like to thank those who have so far agreed with me regarding the musical superiority of Lizard over Islands.

I seem to have missed this thread...Lizard devours Islands...no thought required...Islands is definitely the weakest 2nd-stage Crimson album...I don't even think I own it anymore, honestly...Lizard, however, is one of my favorites, it's very unique within their diverse catalogue.

I disagree with all y'all. Islands is my favourite out of the two. I really dont think its as weak as people say.

I'm glad you've formed your own opinion, MC Cool -- Islands is among a handful of near-universally loathed KC albums. I don't hate it as much as did at one point, but it's definitely a weak point in their catalogue, for me.

I know, but I've really understood why. Sure it doesnt rock as hard as the other ones, but its still makes a good listen I find.
