So one anticipated to clear the record straight: No, she's not as good as Operation Mindcrime. 1 BUT: this is an immaculate, good album - which here undoubtedly get a good rating well above the average of as many CD's simply because they do not have to be measured on a century Album. Where I'm at the point: I can howl "which is not as good as the first ..." Listen just do not, or no longer. All give the OM1 a century album is - most of this vote in their top ten CD's - probably thousands of possibilities. If it were any replicable - it would be no century Album. So let but the church in the village and give this album the Faier chance it deserves. Operation Mindcrime 2 is so much better than the last QR-albums and so much better than the average of Crap constantly flooded the market. So you could hang when reproach why this album was so clearly declared Sequel album ....... so I would say to the poor performance of the last CD's was little choice, because many (including myself) have to the point was perhaps no longer a listen. As such, I am grateful that I had possibly missed a very good work. You can buy this CD with no regrets and will not be disappointed - if you have the opportunity not to constantly compare the debut works.
