OPERATION: LIVECRIME

1 I Remember Now intro cinematic to PLASMATICS with the attack of the worms, I remember now 2 Anarchy-X and the 2nd entry with the characteristic sound of QUEENSRYCHE, voice in portaphone, parlophone, short in megaphone, syncopated drums lit, a guitar solo in instrumental, everything is there for the show! The battery rings the bell, the death knell, it announces 3 Revolution Calling and its warming intro, which repeats the same tune, yes but here we are in the revolution Geoff with his typical voice, his inimitable phrasing begins to set fire; it hits the drums, it screams, ah the break ... metal-prog yes you got it, the one that makes you prick up your ears, that makes you fantasize in front of this sound from elsewhere, like what you shouldn't big thing 4 Operation: Mindcrime tumbles, what an intro that lasts, a riff that takes you to the guts, but what is this group, not normal especially Chris who uses his guitar to progress in a future fusion that will do good to prog dying, ah Dying that makes you thirsty too!! 5 Speak continues, the sound, the story of this drug addict who will serve for unacknowledged political ends, in short 6 Spreading The Disease now with an observation... it's almost the same... the titles at the rhythmic level but there is a little thing that changes; there is a, dare I... progressive evolution in the continuation of these titles; the guitar solo that unrolls, the tribal percussions that follow, the high notes in stereo and it starts again with a cry from geoff, what a beautiful voice he had, the guy... I translate for the girls: what was he well done in his pants moldburnes!!!! 7 The Mission cinematic intro back when we didn't know what it meant; a languorous voice that overwhelms, it goes up like a 'Kashmir', bam little explosion, a riff, synths that brighten up the ear, a similar title that changes, that makes the album evolve, almost an hour all the same it's ain't nothing! 8 Suite Sister Mary ... I remember... with Pamela Moore for the voice of the prostitute, yes a not funny diatribe on a title, the title which allowed metal to make a place for itself in the progressive world; the intro on an opera aria, the climb, it's all there... yes I'm going to make myself agonize again oh but he sees prog everywhere... but prog is the atmosphere not just the dinos otherwise where would we be now? Well I don't talk much about THIS title, 5mn and the scrolling solo, ah a break, a musical redemption to launch a missile at us, an OMNI excuse me also well calibrated; ah the opera choirs on a possible end of the world, in short, you're listening to it again, it's okay I did my job. 8 minutes and it's liberation, the air has bewitched you, you stamp your feet, the storm is coming, come back. 9 The Needle Lies always a quick voice-over intro, always a memory of 'The Maggots' by PLASMATICS that's how it is; faster, the riff more nervous too, hard 10 Electric Requiem by the way there is someone, yes we think of 'The Wall', super nice, the orchestral interlude that makes you swoon, yes I dreamed of it they did it, the slap, the atmosphere , you put it back in loop 4, 5 times before the following title so it's beautiful, the organ, the guitar, the drums, short but good, enjoyable! 11 Breaking The Silence for the consensual title, let me explain it's good but we're getting into the hard and the progs will say ah you see it's not prog, end of explanation; a catchy rhythm which squirts everywhere but that's already it. 12 I Don't Believe In Love continues... same dynamic, yes an OMNI also needs fuel and only has a nuclear battery that needs to be recharged from time to time, and considering the price it's not obvious, you're waiting for the right price and you don't go any further, in short the solo still has that little bit more heavy that makes you stagnate if you don't take off... it goes down slowly, introducing 13 Waiting For 22 for a dance step, uh an aerial solo, just like that so that 14 My Empty Room with its alarm clock puts you on the lookout again; fast, latent, wait-and-see, with a nirvanesque explosion oh damn they weren't there on the ground, in short too bad we throw ourselves on 15 Eyes Of A Stranger final wallien, yes the PINK FLOYD had to pass in their register; sinister, aerial, spatial, the final title which reconciles the hard with the prog spirit.... and don't tell me yet that the abandonment of the verse, chorus, verse is missing... I don't know but there there is still a break that I also feel with MANFRED MANN, in short, we are on melodic hard from progressive, from haunting, from hypnotizing, a proto metal prog that I am writing to you.... and this finale right after the end... I remember now, sang prog! (5 of course)
