Before "Buy" on Youtube (or wherever) Pre-listening.
It is definitely so that everyone because advance should make an image - that's different this album.
I am by no means a friend of comparisons over a long period, so I wanted to see it also in no way with "Operation Mindcrime" (something writes a tape tends once if at all) - I want to "compare" it with any album. What I find so unfortunate is that the enormous anticipation (omg ... a new Queensryche) was so obviously disappointed. I would have liked to have the in any "side-project" packed, probably you would have then digested easier, or would be differentiated range addressed to the cause. If Queensryche draufsteht, wishes you have to stop the Queensryche indoors is - and I can not confirm that, unfortunately.
There is already an excellent review you dealt with each title, so I will not repeat seen or reflect my personal mood for each song, too.
One can deal with the "why", which will probably not develop maximum final yet.
First Line: The have done because they wanted to make it and were able to make. What is 100% free without question every artist.
My purely subjective opinion is: these are still excellent musicians, I personally find the album not as an evolution, even as a retrograde step - I think it's just boring. Not even because there are "different" is so - because that's it for my being only compared to the previous Queensryche. Otherwise it is no more than "some" album from which I would prefer would be of "any" band.
Over the years I have seen the guys very very grateful for what has been created - this album could be dispensed with.
When in doubt, 2 Stars in respect of the past, linked to the hope that the 2 star myself still opens :-)
