Queensrÿche Operation: Mindcrime review Heavy Metal. Things that surprised me... It’s short, heavy and gets you going. But even then, bands like Vanden Plas and Symphony X have far surpassed the master in this case. But this is just the limit. Being a band that just no longer has the quality they used to have; this task is very risky, and possibly very unwise. Despite the occasional flaws, it's surprising how well "Operation: Mindcrime" does work, and it's a testament to Queensryche's creativity and talent that they can pull off a project of this magnitude. Geoff Tate's vocals are amazingly lead with Scott's drums. It seems the best is yet to come. Sleep beckons. "The blind leading the blind through the darkest night" In the end, Operation: Mindcrime II is one of those albums that I should hate on pure principle but isn’t totally devoid of value. The riffs suck throughout, juvenile note progressions you'd hear from any rehearsal room anywhere in America where some axeslinger is just fucking around (not even planning to use them). It's no throwback to the glory days, but it's his best modern output. We'll get some TV spots, and merchandise rolling pronto...lighters, headbands, and maybe even Dr. X tees. With a sound and a riff that seems born from the Damaged Universal Mind (let's see whom of you is a real fan to spot the connection here! Operation: Mindcrime II is the ninth studio album by the American progressive metal band Queensrÿche.It is a concept album and the sequel to the group's 1988 release, Operation: Mindcrime, which had achieved both critical and commercial success. We so far saw them pay a tribute to 70s and 80s music. But with all this bitching to consider, the album’s first half actually manages to be pretty decent. The Chase – 5/10 We begin with Freiheit Overture, a very impressive and extremely technical progressive metal intro, infused with amazing guitar work a fantastic orchestra, that it all sets for a grand opening. Other music on here sticks out quite well yet reaches back further to Queensryche’s roots in the 80s. Really, Mindcrime II seems to have no precise idea of what it wants to be. The Robin 2 , being one of the best venues in the UK, was an obvious choice when it came to catching Geoff Tate and his ‘Operation Mindcrime 30th Anniversary’ Tour. "Hostage" is fairly strong, and "The Hands" even hearkens back to that glorious melody from "Eyes of a Stranger." And once more I have no clue what's going on here with this conceptual album. ]. *the band laughs, the management smirks* Well, then, Operation: Mindcrime, the rest of the members agreed in unison. or "I Remember Now". I would have to shamelessly admit that it is calculated nostalgia. Well, I have, and now I understand. - The songwriting. Geoff utilized a four-forty writing style to create an authentic 80's vibe in the melodies. It will satisfy your desire for closure to an Orwellian masterpiece, but it doesn’t quite capture the initial magic. It just sucks. Similarly, this album is only “Operation Mindcrime 2” by name when all it’s just the 40% improved version of the new Queensryche doing their take on the original “Mindcrime”. This is evidenced by some of the most professional soloing since DeGarmo's exodus. These songs plod along at a stagnat pace with riffs that aren't as catchy or powerful as you'd like them to be. But Tribe was better than this. Geoff Tate just can’t seem to stay out of his own way. Guys, pay attention here, for the master has once again decided to show his real skills. I loved "Empire" and even most of "Promised Land", so I am not one of those purists who hate everything post-"Warning". The album is so disconnected, uninvolved, and uninteresting, I can barely even do a song by song for reference. One Foot In Hell 05. However, Tate and Co. have created songs which sound similiar in style to the original, while fusing a bit of their modern sound in as well. When he stood up to his demon and destroyed him, his life and purpose was lost without the source of his initial revelation. Unquestionably the best record this band has delivered in over a decade, Queensryche has finally broken off the musical restlessness that started long ago with Promised Land, and gotten back to true metal. Read and write album reviews for Operation: Mindcrime - Queensrÿche on AllMusic I'm also not going to discuss the story at all, since A) I don't have the lyrics, and B) that would completely spoil it for anyone who does care. “I’m American” merges some aspects of the original Mindcrime with the speed and aggression of the original 1983 EP. Barely a year after their debut record The Key, Geoff Tate’s Operation: Mindcrime project is back with Resurrection, part two of what threatens to be a trilogy of concept albums. With song structures that will (FINALLY!) Ah, shit, well let's just scrape it together, man. I swear to you that there is not one song on this album that I would keep in my library. Zingen kan hij ook niet meer zo goed. I'm pleased that Pamela Moore has returned as Sister Mary. All this is to say that Operation Mindcrime continues a tradition of melodic and progressive rock, touched with a metal edge. Find album reviews, stream songs, credits and award information for Operation: Mindcrime II - Queensrÿche on AllMusic - 2006 - Here it is, Queensrÿche have returned, 18 years… RJD gives it his best, and his best is very good, but participating in a Broadway-like sing-off on an otherwise forgettable track (The Chase) is not how you use a guest spot from The Man With The Golden Lungs. Queensryche are heavy metal again, how strange does that sound? 'One Foot In Hell'..could have as easily been 'Both Ears In Hell', this is easily one of the worst songs in Queensrÿche history. Basically, Mindcrime II sucks. Or Kelly Gray making the band his own whore, writing music as a friend, but music that did not tune in with Queensryche. Jackson has some freedom here, and he does his best to ground the punch of the guitars and the dominance of the vocals, but really, there's no room for him to vastly improve on such a cruddy selection of note progressions. and the former is a totally unmoving ballad. Luckily, no. After the first half comes the second, depressing half, with only “If I Could Change It All” and “A Junkie’s Blues” worth to be mentioned. Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Operation: Mindcrime II at Amazon.com. The guitar sound has seen some drastic improvements, although they still lack the solid vintage crunch that they had carried throughout the 80s. 2019: Given the post-litigation revelation most of the music here isn't really Queensryche, but rather a Geoff Tate/Jason Slater solo album, it seems proper to reconsider the overall rating. Regarding the concept, its extremely hard to decipher where the heck the album is going. The pressures to be both faithful to the already established storyline yet try to culture it to the more modern tendencies of the day cause one to walk a fine line, and it is easy to sacrifice one for the sake of the other, resulting in either a carbon copy of the original or something that has nothing in common with it. Operation Mindcrime is an album that cannot be described by words. With all the TV Mr. Tate watches, keeping up on current events and the latest media foul, it can only be hoped he catches a glimpse of this commercial, because his vocal cords beg it from deep down. 'Hostage'.. wait, this is a new song? Operation: Mindcrime, an Album by Queensrÿche. Cynical cash grab? Professional ratings. "A Murderer?" Now, with less than a week before the new CD arrives in stores, (release date: April 4th), I am presented with the honor and privelege or reviewing their lastest and highly anticipated 'Mindcrime 2'. “Resurrection” is het tweede deel van het nieuwe muzikale drieluik van ex-Queensryche zanger Geoff Tate. After hearing the nice intro tune “Freiheit Ouvertüre” you get to hear the opening song “I’m American”. No. 403 talking about this. Other than perhaps “The Hands,” the songs on Mindcrime II just don’t fit that mold … but that most definitely doesn’t mean that these songs are sub par … nope, not even close. One of 2006's best albums. It is a concept album and the sequel to the group's 1988 release, Operation: Mindcrime, which had achieved both critical and commercial success. It also happens to be my favourite album of all time. Sometimes that's a tall order to lfill, but Q let us know with this release that they realized they were about to fall off the map and came back strong. “Convict” though raises a doubt; can a guy who has MURDERED so many people be left free that way? I've a few ideas. Amazingly boring, I even thought the album was done when this song was over, it’s that damn bad! It never needed a sequel, the story as it plays out is all too predictable, and it might have been better just to leave the original alone, with a more ambiguous ending. The Queen has not yet recaptured her former throne, but she is in the grand hall and it is in her line of sight. The production has a true 80's feel to it. Well, some 18 years later after the original Operation Mindcrime was released, we finally get the sequel, Operation Mindcrime II. http://thecryreviews.blogspot.com. Tate can still scream, he proves this in a few of the pieces like "Re-arrange You", or his duet with Dio in "The Chase", which is sadly supported by some of the most mediocre guitars on the record, but in general he seems like he's putting too much effect on his tracks to make up for a slightly diminished power to his delivery ("Signs Say Go", for example). But for one more time, they've been saving the ****ing best for the last moment. R2 73306; CD). All in all, I’d say it was the album of the year so far. I will simply mention that the original cast is back in true form finishing what they started. If you have been paying even slight attention to Queensryche's parabolic slide into radio-rock irrelevancy, you can already guess which one this is. "One Foot in Hell" is somewhat better but nevertheless it lacks character. 2018-11-20 UMUR "Operation: Mindcrime II" is the 9th full-length studio album by US heavy metal/hard rock act Queensrÿche. “Junkie’s Blues” is a beautiful song and a real tension builder. Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime Review. [citation needed] Its story follows Nikki, a drug addict who becomes disillusioned with the corrupt society of his time and reluctantly becomes involved with a revolutionary group as an assassin of political leaders.In January 1989, it ranked at No. No, that title I would like to give to 2009’s American Soldier, although there are many who would disagree with me on that point. I mean he does nothing but keep time on this disc – no fills, no rolls, just rat-tat-tat. But then comes the stomping anthem “I’m American” and it starts us off in style. Moving on.. Maybe it’s because this album sucks so much. This autographed CD by Queensryche band members: Geoff Tate, Michael Wilton, Scott Rockenfield, and Eddie Jackson are available while supplies last. [P.S. It still was effective, but not nearly as good as OM1's classic opener. So far, we are off to an amazing start. User Review 2/10 (2 votes) The New Reality, third album in the trilogy from Geoff Tate’s Operation: Mindcrime, is as elusive and slippery to get a grip on as it’s predecessors The Key and Resurrection, and as such listeners would be well advised to give it a few spins on the stereo before making up their minds. Nevertheless, Mindcrime is Mindcrime, and back in the present day (2016) I made use of Spotify to finally give this thing a spin. Probably. Damn, he's good! But in doing this, they seemed to forget that the original Mindcrime succeeded due to incredibly catchy songs and writing that put each member on equal standing in terms of showing off their skills. I scoffed at the idea that Q was going to try to recapture their glory with mediocre songwriting covered with a popular title...and just what prog metal needs...another band doing a sequel!!! People calling this a 'worthy follow-up to the original', or 'as good as the first one' are lying to you, and to themselves I suppose. The sequel? Operation Mindcrime "1988" debut album. Genres: Heavy Metal, Progressive Metal. Now I have been a 'Ryche fan for so long I almost can't remember a time before I was. Some songs want to be rock, some metal, some rock opera ballads cashing in on the "Silent Lucidity" idea but falling well shy of that song's consistent catchiness. The drumming sounds like Slayer and the solos just shred. We are saved. I'm not really into that metal music bag anymore, but the kids seem to want it. I might elaborate tomorrow...maybe. Being as Moore is apparently playing Nikki's conscience, it would have been triumph to convince the guy to just stop running around in circles with his head cut off, singing entirely forgettable melodies, because that's a terrible way to deal with one's past. This is an impressive record, the kind I would have never suspected this band to have in them - sonically reminiscent to the original but with a slicker, well-updated, more modern radio edge to it. The guitars on this album are a disgrace, with no riffs to speak of and only a few decent leads. Of course no review of this album will be complete without talking about what's missing. "I'm American" is fast and catchy but it is shamelessly simple and pallid. I totally disagree, but good review. There’s nothing going on in the background of the song though, and that’s why it loses out. While a story featuring the loveable Nikki escaping prison and seeking revenge for Mary’s death would be a neat character study, the story we got falls flat as the brainwashed junkie is somehow paroled and goes off to die whimpering after an anticlimactic victory. The lyrics are nothing as good as on the original “Mindcrime” (as is the music) although it does feature some witty lines like “Tried hard to scratch the surface of life, got bloody broken fingernails now”. Usually, they do this in a short amount of time while the original concept is still fresh and inspirational. Listen at your own peril. They are here and they sound bloody amazing. Maybe. I wont get into the story much as to not spoil the plot for those interested, but for what's obvious, Nikki is released from jail 18 years after the events of Mindcrime 1. Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffI bought this album in Rome until "Fear City Slide", which really stands out. So far the band has been showing an almost perfect showcase of how they can make great music if they want to (with one exception). Rated #1367 in the best albums of 2006. I must say that the vocal performance on “The Chase” is absolutely marvelous – it bears the sign of Dio, how he was convinced to play on this boring wreck of an album is totally beyond me. It is simply, by far, and without any shadow of doubt, not only the best album since Promised Land... but also the best sequel it could have ever been to Operation Mindcrime. This is the first dissapointment of the album so far. The story itself takes place nearly almost two decades after the first (equivocal with the gap between album releases), and it deals with the primary perspective character Nikki getting his revenge on Dr. X and struggling through a downward spiral that leads to conversation's with Mary's ghost and all this other typical nonsense. Once I did finish listening to it and stopped marveling at its mediocrity, I did of course look it up online. The rest is forgettable, but very experimental. “The Hands” is again another good track, it’s not super fast or stomping like “I’m American” but it’s slick, memorable and catchy. All signs say that the song will go down as yet another boring Queensryche song. "Signs Say Go" and "Re-arrange You" run into one another very well. Queensryche? This time her voice is more prominent and even more operatic Unfortunately, 18 years have passed, and her killing words just does not sound as vulnerable or victimized as the original Mary. I mean some say they’ve not released as good album since Promised Land, and Mindcrime was their last great work. The drums sound flat, the guitar sound is pretty much nonexistent, and the bulk of the music is carried by synths. This is probably one of the most adventurous moments of the album, as Nikki begins yet another slide into the seamy underworld of society's nightmares and confronts the ghosts of his past. Tribe was a step in an interesting direction. "Operation: Mindcrime II" is a little similar to the first album, yet it has its own sound and attributes (meaning that the music has a more modern approach, which makes a lot of sense considering the events take place 18 years after the first "Mindcrime"). They diligently toured last summer doing 'Operation mindcrime' in it's entirety while playing 2 new songs to prepare the fans for the continuing saga. Fear City Slide – 3/10 I've also read that Scott Rockenfield was absent here. Rated #1367 in the best albums of 2006. Can the band keep it up? Operation: Mindcrime is both a concept album and a rock opera. “One Foot in Hell” is quite bluesy and is slower than it’s predecessor, but it’s a good track. How do we turn this around? All right. 18 years have passed since they unveiled their conceptual masterpiece, and the tribe is back ready to rage for order. I hope you're happy for that last $2.00 I have eagerly handed you. It's not that the guys have obviously grown older and changed. “Re-arrange You” is slower but no less catchy and is another high quality song. No other song can compete with these melodies and these vocal qualities. Lyrically, though, there was a moment during the show which I thought was unintentionally appropriate and funny; when Geoff sings "Got my finger on the trigger and no one cares"; yeah, that pretty much described it by then, when the crowd had been suffering through this sleazy Broadway rendition, complete with fake money, plastic guns, and a singer-actor (Geoff) who knows three moves: 1-wrapping his arms around himself "straight jacket-styl" while dropping his knees to the floor, 2-mimicking shooting heroin in his veins and 3-mimicking putting a gun to his head. Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users. Though the band went with the hyperkinetic I'm American for the first single, its the superbly melodic Hostage that reminds the most of the original Mindcrime. But as "Hear And The Now Frontier" and everything since can attest, this band is no longer capable of that. Its ending and the beginning of "The Chase" combine into one of the best transitions on the album. Now this is a rather daring move by Queensryche, especially when they made boring, radio-oriented pop totally ignoring their once proud legion of metal fans now dwindled to the size of say raw kvlt black metal bands. I completely agree about the production, it's nauseating. A concept album of cult religion, sex, drugs and murder. in the middle of this poor abortion. Killer guitar, Great vocals the band was on for this one! With Queensrÿche, Geoff Tate, Chris De Garmo, Michael Wilton. We Know You Did It!" This is easily the best "new" Queensryche song since anything off Promised Land, so I'm already happy. Q2K made it plain obvious that it was probably De Garmo that was missing. "Mindcrime", "The Warning", "Rage For Order" – this was the soundtrack to my coming of age, man. According to Geoff Tate, he has always endeavored to make a sequel when the perfect time presented itself. This is total majesty and art at its finest. There are a few places that a modulation of a riff or a melody will appear for a few seconds, but you would serioulsy need to scrutinize to find it. Operation: Mindcrime, de band van ex-Queensrÿche zanger Geoff Tate, brengt op 1 december zijn derde album, getiteld The … It is first and foremost an attempt to recapture one of the earlier approaches the band had adopted, as can be observed in the increased keyboard presence, stepped up vocal display, and more metal oriented riff collection. Not so much. But you can't blame the guy for not trying. I'm American will mostly remind of Steel Prophet, or Saxon and Iron Maiden. In a recent issue of "Entertainment Magazine" there was an article about the 50 worst movie sequels ever made. By completing it. Damn, that intro was epic, get you shouldn’t get your expectations high with small bursts of the old “Queensryche” flame. Presently, he is desparately attempting to shop his 'Mindcrime' screenplay to prospective movie associates or theatrical venues. Queensrÿche went big for this, pulling out all the stops, and attempting to conjure the grandeur they'd lacked for almost two decades. He goes out to seek the truth, looking for answers about his past life. How do we go from "I stand here fascinated" to "Don't worry, I'll kill the bastard" ? But this is only getting you started, for when the refrain kicks in (one of the best refrains in their entire history), you are suddenly left amazed. and new axeman Mike Stone still deliver the twin lead goods on tracks like The Hands and A Murderer? This is easily the most metal they've written in over 10 years. “Signs say go” and “Hostage” have some dark guitar work at play, but mostly function as hook oriented songs fit for fanfare status on a concept album. Speed of Light is anything but, staying mostly at mid pace, and then moves into a riff section towards the end which just doesn't flow at all. At first I was tempted to be caught up in the total elation of Queensryche material that didn't outright suck. Many say this is the best Queensryche, hard to disagree such amazing guitar riffs, soaring vocals and amazing song writing! Operation: Mindcrime II is the type of album that makes one hate having to write a review. First off, this is the worst production job Queensryche have ever had – flat, poorly mixed, and dead. Not by copying it. Personally, I never pictured Dio as Dr. X., since the mastermind behind operation mindcrime is such a mendacious man; yet Dio's performance is flawless. interesting... i still can't get into mindcrime 1, but empire was good. The two work brilliantly well together and Dio’s epic, wise and purely amazing voice is perfect for DR X. It’s difficult to choose who to sing along to. Re-Arrange You is one of the best Queensryche songs ever. In essence, the only thing that truly holds this album back is some production flaws, as the drums still have some of the deadness that has been present since “Promised Land”. His duet with Tate is one of the highlights of the album. And everyone else, shall take notice. I thought they needed to end an a really good track. Review: Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime - 1988.
