From my point of view a great Classic Power Metal debut. But definitely not Prog (For me Queensryche are Prog from "Operation").

I think Queensryche´s first Prog song was "Roads to madness" off the album "The Warning"
The first Queensryche album is a great metal album with some excellent drumming and of course the great voice of Geof Tate. I would also give it 4 stars.

Bough it on a whim in january.
Gave it a spin, turned it off. Never touched it again until this summer, when i gave it another spin.
That shows how much i like it, doesn't it?

100% agreed. The EP is an excellent example of classic metal in the Judas Priest vein, but there is nothing prog about it. "Roads to Madness", on the other hand, is definitely a great prog-metal track, and "Rage for Order", though not a concept album, is probably on the same level as "Operation: Mindcrime" as regards prog quotient. |

I feel the same way, Warning was the definition of prog-metal. |

This thread caught my attention, but I have nothing to add to what WaywardSon and Ghost Rider said, unfortunately. A great power metal EP, one of the first things I bought after I got a CD player in the mid 80's, but with Road to Madness and OM the queens reached their prog metal highlights (and sadly, never returned to them since).
They did pave part of the way to the future though, even if Prog Metal is not my favourite prog subgenre these days. Edited by Angelo - October 07 2007 at 04:53 |

Also for me PM isn't my preferred genre. But Jazz Prog Metal and Symphonic Prog Metal are great sub sub genres!!!
And yes... The 17 mins of "Queensryche" are all Labyrinth's "Return To Heaven Denied", for example or, always to do an examples, all Stratovarious' "Episode" or 90% of Italian Revival Classic Metal Edited by Mandrakeroot - October 07 2007 at 05:02 |
