About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Queensr˙che 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. 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. 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'ętre" work). But despite the occasional flaws, it's surprising how well Operation: Mindcrime does work, and it's a testament to Queensr˙che's creativity and talent that they can pull off a project of this magnitude.

March 11, 2003: Really fantastic album! There is no weak tracks! Vocals and guitars are perfect! I have to listen this again and again. Standout tracks: "Suite Sister Mary", "I Don't Believe in Love", "Eyes of a Stranger" and "Revolution Calling". These are really beautiful metal tracks!

June 18, 2002: operation mindcrime is an endless masterpiece that gives me something new to think of everytime i hear it. the genius of this album is very under-rated. this is a must if you have the mind for music and you like rock n roll. there is absolutly NO bad songs on this cd.
