two progressive heavy rock/metal albums that came in the late 80s early 90s with sort of generation related concepts, and mental stuff i guess

Mindcrime os more hailed as one of the great metal concepts while Generation 13 is a bit forgotten album from Saga whih i urge every who is interested in loud, guitar drivven, heavy prog, with great vocals, good guitar leads and theatric rock,

you know Procol Harum created their own nieche in prog in the 70s like theyr own symph prog sound which they molded to their own IMO, quote Aginor

I love generation 13, I rated it with five stars. Saga's best album by far.

I got Mindcrime shortly after it was released and Generation 13 only many years later. Mindcrime has been a recording that definitely stood the test of time with me. Generation  13 is a good album but somehow hasn´t moved me asmuch as Mindcrime.

Saga for me. Probably their best record along with World's Apart.
Operation Mindcrime is the only album by Queensryche I've heard, but I'm really not a fan.

Mindcrime is the stronger offering overall...   Gen 13 has some great highpoints though.
