I thought it sounded pretty average when I listened to it, but I haven't given it more than a few spins.
Is Mindcrime considered to be the greatest metal album of all time?

Regardless of our opinions of Mindcrime, I don't think it's going to be perceived as the greatest Metal album ever by anyone other than Queensryche fans. I know if I asked any of my friends who are into Rock/Metal, I'd be very lucky if more than one of them had even heard of Queensryche, let alone listened to that particular album.
The aforementioned Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Sabbath types are going to be more widely credited, if only for the fame of the bands themselves...

I agree. Ever seen them play "I am I" live? Holy shit, that is one song meant for the stage.
I agree with you statements Ayeka, and I suppose I should stop complaining about ranking things, as it seems to happen on every metal board once a day.
Very very few people outside of a late 20's to late 30's demographic have ever even heard of Queensryche, which is a real shame, because they are missing out on the best 80's style metal band.
But your comment that Priest and Slayer Sabatth etc, makes a point I agree with, but not totally; that is that a influential band has to be well known. But it seems the very best music is generally not well known. Its quite the conundrum.

Ronnie James Dio will be playing the part of Dr. X, btw.
And oh yeah, Operation: Mindcrime is clearly the BEST METAL ALBUM of all time.

So who can find me a cheap copy of the remastered version? It seems like all the copies on ebay and half.com are the old version mistakenly listed as the remastered version.

Don't care. As I've stated before, I will never listen to this album.markgugs said:
Agreed. "Master of Puppets" is an excellent collection of songs. However, it's no Mindcrime.markgugs said:

Not necessarily if you're talking from a strictly personal point of view. If you're trying to come up with the greatest album as far as a consensus of peers is concerned, then you need just that, a consensus of peers.

No, you're still drunk and you can't really comapre Puppets with Mindcrime...and Dio guesting on the sequel brings out a collective yawn and an odor of desperation...
