Oh yes. They even did some 'MYTH' material when they were Myth. :) I like The Prophesy. |

Operation:LIVEcrime was recorded before the Empire tour, but you're still right. They were an incredible live act in '91. I saw them twice in Long Beach and those were two of the best shows I've seen by any band. They peaked early in their career, but it was one helluva peak! Have you seen the pre-Warning Tokyo concert from '84? That's amazing, too! |

Absolutely spectacular performance, you simply watch through amazed at the passion and delivery. Especially in Suite Sister Mary there are no words to describe... |

On paper: a classic. In reality: Great concept, but musically not everything seems to work.

I've created an atmosphere where I'm friend first, boss second. Probably entertainer third.

I got Operation Mindcrime about 3 years ago as I was collecting the top prog albums on this site (I think it was sitting around 100 at the time--and still is). I'm not much of a hair metal fan, so I didn't like it at first, but a few more listens changed my mind. Super concept album! So far though, can't really get into any of their other music.

Lets talk Operation LIVEcrime.
Anybody have either the DVD or the album?? I think it's their best live performance of all time, especially for this album. 1991 was a great touring year for the Ryche. :) |

That sounds like a better idea than starting a charter school and calling it Operation: Mindcrime.

Rage For Order is absolutely unbelievable. Hey. Did you that David Ogilvie produced that album? He is responsible for helping a lot of my other favourites like Skinny Puppy, Frontline assembly and NIN find their sound. Brilliant album. I could talk about it till I'm blue in the face. |

Rage for order was one of the fundamental albums of my teenage years. I still think that no band has ever made an album similar to that one (including Queensryche, of course). When Mindcrime came out, I loved it , but in a way is more of a conventional heavy metal record But better produced than former albums

Mmm... I hadn't actually thought about getting into those guys. I was thinking about getting something from Queensryche, Fates Warning, Devin Townsend, Tool, and perhaps Animals as Leaders. As well as getting some more from Pain of Salvation, Riverside, Haken, and Ayreon. And as far as box-sets go, I was thinking about getting Black Sabbath's Dio years one (I got Rainbow's Rising and really liked Dio's singing a lot, so...). |

Awesome story. Glad the album hit you like a ton of bricks. Too bad about that Butcher shop take over...we don't need more meat...we need more music outlets!! Lol |

This was actually one of the very first records I bought, around 1999 or so when I first got into metal (I was about 15 years old)... I had been listening to Iron Maiden and Metallica, and went into the record store and started browsing... I'd never heard of Queensryche, but I loved the cover. Really awesome local music store (which has since turned into a butchers shop )
I asked the owner if I could put it on, listened to the first few tracks and was like "I need this album in my life!!" I still give it the occasional play now, some of the tracks are definitely stronger than others... The song which always gives me goosebumps is the last one, Eyes Of A Stranger... Just a fantastic song. I didn't really consider it 'prog metal' at the time, just a really cool metal album. Looking back on my early music choices from my teenage years I always gravitated towards the more proggy stuff without even realizing it!... Sub-consious at work perhaps? Great album, and a really good 'gateway' album for progressive material... |

No, I haven't heard them. Though I have heard about them... not much really, but I did know about their existence. I guess I'll check them out, though first I check out Queensryche, then Fates Warning, and then Kings X. |

I couldn't agree with you more about Queensr˙che not doing anything wonderful or even listenable for the last 19 years. But, there is one little glimmer of hope now. Have you heard X2 minus Tate? I was shocked when I listen to it because it's not that bad, but it isn't great either. My point is that it is listenable and I haven't been able to go through an entire Ryche album in years! It's the best album Queensr˙che have done in 19 years. I'd give it a 3/5. Check out the songs Open road, spore and Where Dreams Go to Die. I'd love to know what you think I mean because Queensr˙che really played it safe and strongly reverted back to their old sound. 39min album too! |

Let's not forget that Queensryche ended in 1994 - any discussion beyond that year will be considered heretic
By the way, to reply to the OP, I think it is the pristine performance of the band and the passion that Tate sings that make this album so unique - his connection to the concept is obvious |
