Well, nice start anyways.
Lizard is indeed fairly overlooked, especially considering how close it is in timing to their debut and ITWOP.

I don't think THRAK is so much overlooked as underrated - I think it's quite a high quality album and maybe doesn't get as much credit as it should. I think the Power to Believe is quite overlooked because so many KC fans (i.e. loyalists to their earlier albums) would have abandoned them by this point, after all their different changes in sound.
