This album was given to me by an older friend who said, "You have to have a copy of this album." I liked Adrian Belew's contributions to Talking Heads, and Bowie albums so of course I took it. Who am I kidding, I rarely turn down vinyl. Usually when an artist described as a guitar wizard, and connected with a band like King Crimson releases an album I find it tedious and over worked. However, that's not the case here. This album is quirky and fun with darkly satirical lyrics. The guitar trickery is mainly used as atmosphere, which I always dig. This album also has a funny surreal cover that I love, and in a rare case, it perfectly fits the music contained in the grooves. If you've never heard this record the tracks to look up are The Lone Rhinoceros, and Big Electric Cat. Those two will tell you all you need to know about this album.
