Operation: Mindcrime

Product Information

Spreading the Disease" gives us our first look at Sister Mary, Nikki's love interest in the album. She went from being a whore, to being "saved" by a church. But what really makes this album stand out is the fact that the band still hasn’t lost sight of the songwriting process. Despite having a pretty lofty concept to handle and the interludes to spar with, no segment goes on for too long and each song is an absolute classic that is just as enjoyable on its own as is in context with the others. I Remember You" opens the album up with samples and spoken words while "Anarchy-X" is like the short intro song to the

I Remember Now - We open with a scene setter “I Remember Now.” Here we hear a half dazed patient confused as the nurse puts him to sleep. His words are haunting and this is incredibly atmospheric and is a perfect to set the mood. The Mission” opens with the words of a preacher and then slides into Nikki’s assassination of the priest. This is another strong song, and again Tate is strong vocally. This involves a great guitar solo too. It conveys Nikki’s confusion and develops the love story that every good story needs perfectly. It shows the way Nikki’s head has been manipulated. Nikki lands himself in trouble with the law once again. During his trial, his pleas for mercy and leniency are lost on a judge and jury still remembering his past crimes. This only deepens his disdain for the world around him, with Nikki mulling over the government, the legal system, and Dr. X as he blames all three for all of his problems. After Nikki escapes and finds himself yet again on the run, his own need for revenge coupled by a vision of Mary's ghost (it is initially unclear if this spectre actually exists or is merely a product of Nikki's mind breaking with reality) turns his thoughts toward killing Dr. X.

But The Hawk is digressing unforgivably. What if the Classic Heavy Metal question burning you up wasn’t featured in a magazine, and none of your friends knew anything? Then what were you supposed to do? So yes, just googling the answer like we all do these days might not have quite the same air of romance, but at least you get to know what you want.

The eerie tune works wonders. “My empty Room” is another short song, that once again contains speech and a vocal display by Tate, both of these link us to the last song and work wonders building up the ending!

The production is likely one of the main reasons behind this album's monstrous popularity. Everything sounds very loud, very clear, and absolutely drenched in that echo/reverb effect that was so common in the 80's. There's cutting vocal lines, bombastic drums and a very audible bass tone, which is coupled with lots of catchy hooks to create an album that will stay in your head for a long time. Despite this, the production actually puts the vocals slightly above everything else, which would be a good thing with such a great vocalist, but it's really... not. NB: Let’s get this out of way up front. The Hawk’s keyboard does not feature a ‘y’ with an umlaut over the top, and he can’t be bothered to look for one. Therefore all articles about Queensryche on here will feature only the regular ‘y’ instead. The umlaut feels a bit stupid anyway – there, I’ve said it.) The second album in the trilogy, Resurrection, was released on September 23, 2016, and features guest appearances by Blaze Bayley and Tim "Ripper" Owens, among others. Anyone who's interested in metal concept albums already knows what this is. This is "Operation: Mindcrime" - Queensryche's third studio album that made them one of the big names in heavy metal and likely helped popularize the very notion of concept albums in the metal community. Many hail it as an ungodly masterpiece for the ages, and one of the greatest metal albums there is. I, however, merely consider it a great album - one with noticeable flaws that manages to sell itself on the sheer quality of the musicianship here. Ha-ha. That’s a great story!” Tate laughs. “I’d like to think it was true, but I really can’t remember. I wish I could.”On the one hand the story and characters are full of archetypes, maybe even clichés. On the other hand, the singer Geoff Tate more than sells these. His voice bleeds emotion, and when guest vocalist Pamela Moore participates on one song as Mary, she is his match every step of the way. As important is perhaps the fact that, while ultimately quite focused on these characters, the album is also obviously a form of strong social commentary. In the first half of the album, while Nikki is getting involved in the conspiracy, the messages are political and social and explicitly delivered, with commentary on fighting the drug war, corrupt priests, corrupt politics in D.C., etc. In the second half, while Nikki's life has essentially gone to shit in a circle of drugs and violence, the commentary is more subtle and character-based but still has things to say about the way we treat the dregs of society.
