Rage for Order is an often-underestimated album that goes under classics like WARNING, Operation Mindcrime and Empire frequently, though it is inferior in nothing musically these milestones. The atmosphere on this output is rather bleak and very mysterious, which is also attributable to the intense, but never annoying synthesizer application. Poor songs can not be found here, because there are no bad songs in the vocabulary of the band. At the highest but protrude new rule LONDON, SCREAMING IN DIGITAL, CHEMICAL YOUTH and GONNA GET CLOSE TO YOU, because there are very gloomy and experimental pieces with eerie melodies and guarantee goosebumps. But the remaining songs like WALK IN THE SHADOWS and THE WISPER are also more than succeeded in only a bit more conventional songwriting. Nevertheless, one should never evaluate an album by the sum of his songs, but always regarded as a Gesamtkunstwerk. Geoff Tate sang better klaum an album, not even on EMPIRE or MINDCRIME. In every song I run shivers down the spine ... emotion, genius, madness and power. That the album is the most electronic in the repertoire of the band, I do not mind, I consider it next MINDCRIME and THE WARNING for the best of the band, even well before EMPIRE. The sound is overwhelming, far above the instrumental work beyond any doubt, here are five master at work, to exercise absolute control over their instruments, and not vice versa, as is often the case in Heavy range. BUY AND BE AMAZED!
