utterly devoid of power, dynamics, clarity. I was worried there was something wrong with one of my audio components. "How bad could it be? Surely, the 60 minute playing time would be compensated for by the 180g pressing." but with my current Operation: Mindcrime obsession, I threw caution to the wind and made the purchase. "180g audiophile pressing" I knew better. a 'new' copy released by Capitol Records a few years back. Stopped in one of my local stores on Saturday and finally saw it. I've never seen a copy of Operation: Mindcrime in any store since I started collecting vinyl a few years ago. My QR vinyl collection stops at Rage For Order, however. Album DescriptionSo I've been in a deep Queensryche mood over the past couple weeks. See More Your browser does not support the audio element. But despite the occasional flaws, it's surprising how well Operation: Mindcrime does work, and it's a testament to Queensrÿche's creativity and talent that they can pull off a project of this magnitude. Those experiments don't tend to work as well as the tighter, more melodic prog metal songs, which are frequently gems, especially the singles "Eyes of a Stranger" and "I Don't Believe in Love." Granted, the lyrics and political observations can sometimes be too serious and intellectual for their own good (few bands, metal or otherwise, can make lines like "There's no raison d'être" work).
For such a detailed story line (there is also a tragic romance thrown in), the band keeps its focus remarkably well, and the music is just as ambitious, featuring a ten-minute track with orchestrations by Michael Kamen. Queensrÿche scored their breakthrough success with the ambitious concept album Operation: Mindcrime, which tells the story of a fortune hunter whose disillusionment with Reagan-era American society leads him to join a shadowy plot to assassinate corrupt leaders. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
