Empire is pretty decent...Thin Line has the RIFF OF MIGHT. The title track and Anybody Listening ruleth as well.
I got into QR about a week before the remasters were announced...grrr, already bought everything up till Empire except the EP. Maybe I'll get Promised Land or whichever the one after Empire is, the one that doesn't suck.
Live Evolution is sweet...got it for five bucks. Take Hold of the Flame is genius...too bad Geoff Tate's not into metal anymore.
I'd go see QR, but A) no DeGarmo B) Dream Theater is BORING.
