Operation Mindcrime

[Shadow298]

I think the point was that Nicky doesn't know whether or not he killed her.

There is also the hint that she killed herself to make Nicky go nuts and seek revenge on X.

It's all too strange for me because, as Bacchante said, they changed it around a bit.

Oh, well.

i couldn't get through OM2

rage for order and promise land are my fav queensryche albums.

 

[buzz21]

definitely a career-defining moment for them - and nothing else they have done has come close since

 

[Blakk Axe]

Empire also rules.

'Jet city... wooooooomaaaaaaannnn!!!'

I thought it was X's organization that had finally tracked Mary down and killed her. They did, after all, send Nicky to get rid of her originally. She knew too much for her own good.

Empire sounds good, although a lot of it sounds pretty dated.

Still a great record though.

Well, what do you expect from an album that came out in 1990!

Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 revisited" came out 41 years ago and with updated production, it could come out today and I wouldn't notice THAT much of a difference, same with Faith No More's "Angel Dust" or King Crimson's "In The Court of the Crimson King". With "Empire" almost anyone can pinpoint the era it came out in.

"Angel Dust" sounds old as hell. "Empire" came a year or two later. The other two albums that you mention were made in the 60's - when vinyl was king. Recordings that were pressed to vinyl have frequency limitations in the low end of the spectrum (ie, no bass) because the cutting lathes will skip below 150Hz or thereabouts. There are companies out there still trying to figure out ways to reproduce low freqs on vinyl. See there, you never know when you might learn something.

i think he might have meant stylistically dated?

I would think that's what he meant too. A lot of the songs on Empire were good, but OM and The Warning sound a lot less dated in my opinion.

 

[blind_cynic]

I would call it a revolutionary album for metal.Seen them live,they were great,they played OM+OM2+Empire+Jet City Woman.though OM2 isn't exactly a good album in my opinion.

 

[metalkingdom]

Yeah, I guess he did. But I don't agree, regardless. I bet the band doesn't agree, either.

 

[NeverEarth X]

every Queensryche album from Waring to Promised land and Operation Mindcrime 2 rule as far as im concern.

the phrase "when vinyl was king" made me laugh.
