OPERATION : MINDCRIME II

Wow!! This is an awesome release from Queensryche. I'm a Ryche fan and the first OMC is my favorite album. The more I listen to OMC II the more I love it. Yes, it's different than the original, but why do we want to hear the same thing over and over again? Geoff Tate's vocals are chilling as always, the guitar work and drum beats are harder and heavier than I've heard from Queensryche in a long time. Ronnie James Dio as Dr. X on "The Chase" is brilliant. Pamela Moore's beautiful voice as Sister Mary is another treat. "The Hands, Hostage, Re-Arrange You, A Murderer?, Signs Say Go, All The Promises and The Chase are my favorites.... that's practically the entire album! Those who are disappointed I would suggest listening to it a few more times. The more I hear it the more I love it. I was so excited to have Nikki's story continue and I couldn';t be happier with where Queensryche took it. Get yourself a copy and then go see them live!! You will love it all. OMC I & II in their entirety??? Come on!!
