@ableturner you know as much as i love queensryche, tehy dont have enough shoot the moon songs. tehy have quite a few, but maiden has 5 or 6 times the number queensryche had.
@thatkidseth i don't think so.They have plenty of these songs,different the one from another,which shows also diversity,never found in the same extent in maiden's catalogue
Guys and Gals, there is still GREAT progressive metal being made! No one contends with Queensryche's greatness, but Prog Metal will never die. Just google prog metal band list. You're sure to find something you'll love.
Queensryche downfall was due to a decline in the progressive metal scene the rise of grunge and most importantly the over theatrical antics of Tate which put many fans off. The loss of degarmo was the final straw. Such a shame as queensryche are one of the finest bands about back then. Sorry if I offend anyone!!
THE EMPIRE IS DEATH....THE PROMISE LAND IS ...AT THE END RESULT OF THE MAN... IN THE RYCHE....DREAM ARE DOWN IN THE CD...IT'S A DEEP AND ARTISTIC PICTURES INSIDE ...OF WHAT WE CAN FEEL WHEN WE LOOK THE DAMAGE OF A MAN MADE IN THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD WE LIVE. YES ! THE LAST, FANTASTIC ALBUM OF QUEENSRYCHE. THERE ANYBODY LISTENING? Hope is!
The highest rated comment here with 33 thumbs up (34 now with mine) says 3 important things in one line. First, this is the best song on the disc. Second and most important, BUY this disc. Dont steal it from the internet. And third, this disc is VERY underrated.
My last comment addressed how magical Geoff's sax playing is, but 4 days later, after having several heavy listens, I'm adding to it to say: this entire fucking song is magical. *_*
The Ryche is the most thought provoking and unique music. DeGarmos' guitar work / songwriting stand alone. People have no idea how intelligent and musically talented these dudes are. Tate sings with such passion and emotion.
This is one of the few songs everyone in the band has credit for writing (thanks Wiki!). It's like a sad goodbye letter for the fans. The band would never be the same.
Tates' vocals and DeGarmos' understanding of symphonic orchestral music stand alone. Operation Mindcrime was the first operatic metal. Tate sings with such passion and emotion. Nothing Pink Floyd, Rush or Dream Theater did can compare to Rage For Order or Operation Mindcrime! Queensryche crushed everyone!

They say if you write Queensryche on a snowman it'll come to life, punch you in the face, and fly away singing "I don't believe in love". And that's how my nose broke.
this album obviously doesn't hold a candle to the geatness of Mindcrime...but for what it was, it was still a damn fine record..and this tracks is definitely a stand-out track on the album
@Hellucinogen79 I can't argue against you because it's true that even though Mindcrime is much like their candle that had been held up for all other Queensryche albums, Queensryche was therefore able to make this album such a hot single.
I was driving by germans highway, listening this staff.. skin started cold and sweat.. .. i imagined, devils army coming down from sky.. it appeared so scary... i was obliged to stop my car till that song will finished.. real art of music..! greatest infuence on us.. simple peaple on the land..
This song is trippy, dark, introspective...kind of a weird feeling, like being in your lonely, somber and suffocating bedroom..in a cheap downtown apartment...with a drink in your hand,thinking of what you've done in the recent past..like "was the right decision?"...so drink is over and you go outside in the rain to the closest bar, finally, you can't figure out right all the questions
Them hitchhikers turned out to be charly and his mate johnny walker so we ignored the deflecting traffic towards the paradise behind the dark horizon.... have to start the journey again. next time don't forget to put this cd in the car-audio as a guide.
Oh YEAH! Got to hear this live last night! Wasn't even expecting them to play this and they KILLED IT, like they always do at all their concerts. RYCHE ON!
I just don't get the criticism of this album at all. For sheer musicality, this album rocked! It is refined and they clearly spent a lot of time harnessing the right sound. Comparing sb to the late, great Dio is always gonna do the compared a disservice. However, he doesn't disappoint here!
Love love love this album! sooooooo intense. like to listen to it with noone around interrupting or distracting me. one of the best bands ever period. empire, op mindcrime, promised land the best. thanks seattle
Holy crap! I was about to make Empire my first Queensryche album, but this song has completely changed my mind. Promised Land is the album for me. Empire can come second.
This album is a bit more experimental than the previous others. Having said that, I think it's very well made.
