OPERATION: MINDCRIME

3.5: The third album of Queensryche, the most acclaimed by the community of prog archives. I liked it, although is only a good collection of metal songs with some proggresive elements. Lyrically is really very good, it maintained you entertained, it tells the history of a drug addict that is recruited in a sect to attack some political targets with the justification of a better future. I considered it a good album, but as a prog listener I think it is missing from more prog rhythms, and a more elaborated music to fulfill my expectations of a prog band. I considered it a good album, recommended to any who is looking for an metal sound with some prog elements and a very good lyrics, but not essential at all.
