This disc is certainly the hardest rocking album the Ryche have come out with in a while, it is their strongest at least since Empire, but I would hazard to say since Operation Mindcrime. That is not to say that this CD is in the vein of that one, it certainly isn't.
Queensrÿche - Live Evolution Review by Gary Hill Queensryche has been around for quite some time, but this is their first full live album. When the Operation Livecrime box set was originally released it included a CD of a live performance of the Operation Mindcrime album, but this is more of a real live album. More
Queensrÿche - Operation Mindcrime Review by Gary Hill This album is a definite masterpiece, and certainly (thus far) the peak of Queensryche`s career artistically. Although definitely a heavy metal album, in many ways Operation Mindcrime is so much more than that. More
Queensrÿche - Rage For Order Review by Gary Hill Rage for Order, the album directly preceding Operation Mindcrime, certainly shows the potential and directions in which Queensryche was ready to move. Although showing elements of other bands and styles, this album is a very unique and innovative work that foreshadows the stylistic directions that the band were getting ready to undertake. More
This remastered and expanded edition includes four bonus tracks. There is one of those that I think was kind of a mistake, but the other three are cool.
It is hard to believe that it has been six years since Todd La Torre’s first release fronting Queensrÿche. I have been a fan since the EP back in 1983, and when they replaced Geoff Tate, I thought that it was all over for them.
