'O: M' is good, but 'rage for order' remains their best though.

It's the only album I got from them, not too bad but a bit too hair-metal for my taste too, had it been released in 1980 it could have impressed me more but by the time it came out it felt like that kind of stuff was already over for me.

I will always love this album. Make sure to give Operation LIVEcrime a try. Has fantastic production and is performed flawlessly. Also pick up the DVD version!

I dude I used to work with was massively in to Queensryche. He lent me a stack of their CD's to listen to, Operation Mindcrime being one of them. I didn't really get into them - they reminded me of 'hair-metal' albeit with considerable chops......... |

Yup. You got it. You know what's happening for sure. ;) it's such a great story and it's so politically charged. You can really feel what's going on in the music story wise. Very few concept albums out there really make you feel as engaged of what's happening in a story in relation to the music. I can only think of a few others that do. 1) THE HUMAN EQUATION 2) SCENES OF A MEMORY. 3) SAVIOUR MACHINE's LEGEND PT1-3 Those are true concept albums, but MINDCRIME really takes the crown for me as being #1. Also. The video's are great too! Oh and FYI those eye brows of dr. X's are real!! Lol |

I've "changed my mind". I listened to it the other day and it really is quite a wonderful album. A bit long, but that's about the only bad thing that can be said.
(Even inspired me to change my sig.) |

Great thread. Yeah, MINDCRIME is still to this day my favourite conceptual album. It's absolutely brilliant and I love how Geoff Tate got the inspiration at an old church In MONTRČAL to write the lyrics and come up with story itself. I was in Montrčal last weekend and I thought of that. :)

I think that he killed the priest. In Mindcrime at the Moore, it seems as though Dr. X forced Mary into killing herself because she thought that Dr. X would kill Nikki otherwise. I haven't caught that part listening to the album, so I am not sure if that is how it sounds or that was an update they did live. I'll have to relisten to that part of the album a little closer.

Great album!
I never did figure out if he killed priest/Mary, or if someone else did, etc. I just never delved into it too deeply. My favorite track on it has to be 'I Don't Believe In Love', I just think the chord progression sounds cool

I second this opinion!
Their tour with Dream Theater was excellent ... and that rendition of Who Are You, was tops ... and one of the few renditions of The Who, that are worth hearing.
PS: I honestly do not like the label "progressive metal" ... why? ... if you listen to Gong's You, on side 2, you have the same thing ... loud rock music ... just missing the compression and the lousy drumming, of course! And there is a lot of Hawkwind that would/could/should be considered "progressive metal" as well ... but suggesting that Mindcrime's lyrics are more important than Hawkwind's ... is scary ... they are all good in their own way ... specially when it is at least 25 years apart!

Crimson Glory is also a must for Queensryche fans.

There's nothing to talk about, really.
Except that it is a groundbreaking, timeless and one of the best progressive metal albums EVER. |

Not bad. Kind of had an early Iron Maiden sound too.
