OPERATION: MINDCRIME

Operation:Mindcrime simply put is the greatest concept album of all time. I know there are those out there that for some reason hate it. They call it cheesy hair metal? That doesn't even make sense. "Their sell-out alnum" these guys got to be smoking some hard shit. It's an epic that really can never be duplicated by anyone. As we say Queensryche and Green Day attempting to do. Yeah that's right Green Day's American Idiot is inspired by Operation:Mindcrime. On to the songs, every single song on this album is superb. Even the short transition songs serve to better understand the plot. This intense plot leaves you hanging on te edge of your seat the whole time. It's so involved and powerful. The music and lyrics are mystifying. Never have I heard such indepth lyics by a metal band. It really shows off their progressiveness in this album. The music is just breathe taking. It's impossible to pick a favourite song because there are so many amazing ones. Anyone who thinks Silent Lucidity is Queensryche's best song shouldn't be listening to prog in the first place. If that's all you like that's great, glue your face to the t.v. and watch Mtv all day and eat bon-bons.
