Great review btw. Doing the album a lot of justice and made me relistening to it wuith a stronger focus on the interplay between lyrics and music. Wow, even enhances the experience...
One thing about the review: you wrote that this album is more jazzy than it's predecessors. I don't actually think that it is more jazzy than Lizard. I would deem that as their most jazzy album ever...

I'm very glad that my review made you change your opinion.
Maybe your right. Both are 2 jazzy albums. Still, I think "Lizard" is a very strange and difficult album to listen to, the most strange and difficult of all their albums. I think it has also many other influences too. So, in some moments of the album I can't see clearly the main infuence on it. "Islands" is more direct and the main influence is clearly jazz, in a more traditional way. So, this is why I feel that.

Precisely this is the reason why people call this their jazz album. Lizard is more out there and experimental in a way, and there a lots of humorous or tongue in cheek moments on Lizard which you barely find on any of their other records, especially in their 70's era

Title song is still so beautiful, they kind of lost that somewhat dreamlike beauty in later records i feel

Yeah that pretty much did get lost in the later releases, but it came back in A Scarcity of Miracles imo. That’d be my favorite Fripp project, where he was mainly involved in the songwriting/recording with or without King Crimson, of anything since Discipline. That or The Equatorial Stars.

I just listened to that track (A Scarcity of Miracle, not Miracles though, is that something different?) - you're right! Was it released just on live records, or is it from some EP?

It’s a full-length album that the new Crimson singer, Jakko, did with Fripp and saxophonist Mel Collins. Tony Levin and Gavin Harrison added parts to it as well, so I just think of it as essentially the newest King Crimson album. It came out in 2011, and on tours since then they’ve debuted a few more new songs live as King Crimson.

I only have a few KC live albums, so my collection consists mainly of the studio albums

Yeah, e21!!! KC live albums are so much a world of their own!!!
Try Live in Chicago from their latest incarnation, also available on spotify. Also Cirkus is amazing (even thou it's a live compilation, recordings from many eras..).

Live in Chicago and Radical Action... are both excellent recent live albums that have a couple new songs not heard anywhere else. I saw them on the tour with 3 drummers including Gavin Harrison where they recorded Live in Chicago on my 23rd birthday, and it was amazing.
