Well after Empire they went downhill... their following albums had some good (and some great) songs but overall very disappointing.
Operation Mindcrime II is a continuation of the story of Nikki who is now 20 years older and released from prison.
A great song called The Chase see's Nikki come face to face with Dr X from the first album - and guess who voices Dr X?
RONNIE J DIO!!!!!!!!!! Him and Tate work well off each other. 2 of the best voices in Metal ever on 1 song! KILLER.

Operation:Mindcrime the original is still to me the greatest ALBUM ever made by any band. Anybody who hasn't heard it: put on headphones, grab the lyrics (but don't read ahead, that's cheating!) and when you're done it's like you've just read the most phenomenal novel of your life. Great solos, vocals, interludes, the story flows flawlessly and continually and never pauses other than for dramatic moment. To me the best body of work I've ever heard, so many years later. If you haven't heard it, buy it and start from the beginning and don't waver. I'm telling you. Just do it. Seriously. I've been waiting for the sequel...it's out now?

OK today I finally gave OM2 a good listen to.
...and on one hand you will compare it to the original and obviously it's not as good as that masterpiece (did we expect it to be though) but if you look at it as an album on it's own merit without the shadow of its predecessor looming over it you have 1 fine album.
Queensryche's best effort in a long long time. Their best since Empire for sure.
I won't give it a score just yet - too hard to really do that but some songs instantly grabbed me. Others might take some time.
Oddly enough some of their sound beckons their Rage for Order and Queen of the Reich days!!!
