So my dear followers gutklassiger Rock / Hard Rock / Metal / Progressive / Alternative or whatever -Music, the brilliant band Queensryche was stuck in a particular drawer has always been difficult and their latest work Operation Mindcrime II prompted me now, my first on- line review to write at all. After 2 weeks of intensive listening pleasure of the new album and the study of published reviews this I can not help but also to reveal my mind. Since I'm not a musician (lack of talent) I can speak only as a listener and fan of guitar music and it is my remarks are also based. Who thought, would continue with Queensryche Operation Mindcrime II the musical path of her debut-operation consistently, will surely see his expectations disappointed. But only extremely naive contemporaries could really believe themselves Queensryche have yet to album steadily changed from album and further developed and even were in almost all reviews miserable rated publications such Hear in the now frontier or Q2K and for me are first-class works and their time miles ahead and just as it behaves also with the OM II Opus. I spend many reviewers law, which view the drive as the best release since Promised Land. I also share the view that Queensryche with this disc again could incorporate more traditional elements of their enormous musical range and left the alternative pathway for the most part again. Unmistakable more Stilismen are again incorporated which Queensryche have made big in the 80s, but without letting the sound in my opinion, absolutely contemporary songwriting frumpy. And an organ as that of men as Tate studied nor his same as 20 years ago today. Fantastic as this great singer the most diverse moods from aggression to melancholy absolutely authentic installs and so every song gives an additional personal atmosphere. But time must already take in order to really develop this first-class output can, because too complex and the complexity of the song structures in order to establish himself at the first passage in the ear canals. But just as I also wanted and expected, but those recordings are still the best, which really open up to the buyer only after repeated intensive listening, but it was made for eternity. The extravagant words had enough: I want this record every Queensryche fan as well as those who want to be like to heartily recommend, and I do not believe that any real fans of this band can log doubts about the musical class of this CD. Just imagine yourself, a newcomer band would be published this disc -the self-proclaimed experts and Zeitgeistfetischischten would have peed for joy in the pants - guaranteed. Just as many of my pre-reviewers, I would like to highlight and recommend any song, since you have to listen to the album as a complete work The only weak point and base for an entire star deduction is my humble opinion a little too feeble and garage sound smooth production. But perhaps this was also a deliberate stylistic device to emphasize the dark mood of this disc. Who can really judge this at the genius of this musician?
