That last Lizards album was fabulous. It would be a shame to leave that great group - even for Masterplan. Maybe a bit bigger name but a complete 180 in direction away from the 70's funk/soul tinged rock of the Lizards. I hope DiMeo can stay with them as well and its not the end for them as well.

Judging from all of Lande's past work it is hard to believe that the directions he & Masterplan were after were that far apart. That still does not compute. If that were truely the case I find it hard to believe that DiMeo would be the solution (that is not a knock on DiMeo).
