Again nothing ...

Of course it's a bit unfair, Queensryche always be measured at their classics, but this is the most modern bands who have delivered at least once a milestone in their career. SLAYER will always considering "Reign in Blood", METALLICA on "Master of Puppets" and IRON MAIDEN at their first complete album, that's just the way the music business. And probably it is unrealistic from a Geoff Tate a vocal performance as in the times of: expected "Operation Mindcrime", although there are exceptional artists and has given, which were in good voice for many decades, such as the good Ronnie James Dio - the Metal God rest his soul. Or even Lemmy, who has his delicate vocal retained into old age; o) But joking aside and back to cruel reality or the latest Queensryche album, which unfortunately is the same in this case,

After the moderate to poor albums Queensryche have delivered in recent years and the unsavory dispute to the still good name, one has almost do not feel like to listen to something where Queensryche draufsteht and which was published after 1990 , But one is always willing to give a troupe a new opportunity in itself.

This band is the version by the singer Geoff Tate, who has surrounded himself with some Mietmusikern to release a new album under the banner Queensryche. The result is: Unfortunately, again nothing special, but rather a maximum pleasing hard rock album without real highlights.
The series of mediocre slices continues seamlessly, and to cope with now and then quite a few good approaches flash (Cold, Running Backwards), most of the songs but rather mediocre and, unfortunately, some non-starter are (Dare to give it to you, Everything) , Not a single song trigger me any emotions, but the whole thing makes me largely cold, no comparison to the atmosphere of works such as "Operation: Mindcrime" or "Empire". Also production technology is not exactly the yellow of the egg, which is delivered here. Nevertheless, I would give the album with a lot of goodwill and Queensryche Bonus 3 stars, although I would have found it more consistently when Geoff Tate would have dared with a new band name a complete restart. So but remains the feeling that the commercial and not art was the focus here.

What the good man but completely rides the album in the grits, are a few interpretations of some immortal classics Queensryche. If it would have needed any further proof that he is no longer vocally and energy technically able to lift this adequately, then you have this herewith. I never thought that one lucidity musical gems such as I dont believe in love, Empire, Jet City Woman and Silent can spoil so such an extent that they are completely inaudible. In this head runs automatically with the original version, and if you then simultaneously the sad result of Geoff Tate in 2013 listening, it runs a cold down the spine. No idea what he was thinking, but that he had time to make better, because thus pulling a already anyway average album more in the basement.

Conclusion: Perhaps everyone should finally and with reasonably intact would bear the name Queensryche to the grave and start under a new name. Because as the great name Queensryche degenerating more and more into a farce.
