4 stars A huge Queensryche fan up to Empire(their "jump the shark" album for me), I was a bit skeptical that they were still capable of pulling this off. That being said, I was wrong. I absolutely love this album start to finish. In todays world of dressed down, detuned, and frankly lethargic hard rock, this album especailly shines. Tates voice may not be what it used to but PLEASE! He is still awesome. The guitar work is stellar. The songs are dynamic and diverse. Production and arrangements are superb. "Hands" is a standout for me as is "Speed of Light" and "Im American" As was the case with Mindcrime 1, it requires several listens to really sink in. I was pleasantly surprised to hear Ronnie James Dio as well. I am shocked that any pre- Empire Queensryche fan would knock this. A must have.
