- Review #11 -

In 1988, Queensryche released their third album, Operation: Mindcrime. To this day, this album is not only Queensryche's crowning achievement, it's one of progressive metal's many masterpieces. Featuring strong influence from Pink Floyd (The Wall, to be more specific), Operation: Mindcrime is a fifteen track concept album that lasts for an hour.

It contains very tight playing from each member of the band and musicality is on point. One of the most notable fact about this album is how well it flows and is structured in general, the ending of a track is the beginning of the next one and so on, however most tracks stand very well on their own.

If you're a progressive metal fan, this is essential. It sets a high-point for the genre, and the concept itself is brilliant. Five stars.
