Hey man,
I bought Lizard about a month ago, and instantly liked it the first
time I listened to it. I listened to it every day for about three
weeks, it's defenitely my favorite KC release. It's one of their
jazziest albums and some argue that it's harder to get into than other
KC albums. I honestly think it's one of their smoothest efforts,
every song on the album transitions into each other very easily, and
there's pretty much something fun to listen to in every part of the
album, it doesn't stray into really ambient parts and it's doesn't
stray into really hard rocking parts. It's very well
balanced. It also has the unique vocals of Gordon Haskell, whom
you won't hear on any other KC album (or any prog album) other than
"Cadence and Cascade" from In the Wake of Poseidon.
Hope this helps :^)
cheers
