OPERATION: MINDCRIME

By far the best Queensryche album. Not progressive in a odd time signature, instrumental show off way of Dream Theater, but the story, the songs...it's just all perfect. Stand out singles "I Don't Believe in Love" and "Eyes of a Stranger" have great lyrics and are as catchy as anything out there. Heavy metal songs like "Revolution Calling" and the title track show they can still rock out with good riffs and solos. Tate's voice is incredible and he has a great theatrical performance throughout. "Suite Sister Mary" is the epic and it has very cool gothic choirs. "The Mission" is also a good underrated track which the album is full of. Too bad the band stinks now. Get it and enjoy their only masterpiece. I'd recommend it to all fans of hard rock. prog, and metal.
