And he most certainly is a killer vocalist. That chorus in Vindication is fucking amazing

So apparently I had the remixed version of the album for review and that's why I didn't have a problem with the sound. I just heard the original and it is much worse...

Yup.

This would be in Queensryche's bottom two albums if it wasn't a Geoff Tate's Queensryche album. The man has become a shell of his former self, and the only decent album Queensryche released with him after 1994 was Mindcrime II.

Mindcrime will sound like Heaven, nirvana, and most other spiritual highs at the same time after hearing this atrocity.

They just released a third version of this album with an entirely new mix done by Billy Sherwood of Yes.



Frequency Unknown, the 13th album by metal legends Queensrÿche arrived in April of 2013 amidst a swarm of controversy. The band had just split in 2 with founding vocalist/frontman Geoff Tate leading an all-new group of musicians while the remaining original members of the band carried on with a new vocalist. Dubbed "The Heaviest Rÿche Ever," Geoff Tate's version of the band included longtime QR guitarist Kelly Gray plus Ozzy Osbourne bassist Rudy Sarzo and legendary AC/DC / Dio drummer Simon Wright. This group quickly recorded and released Frequency Unknown and though the album earned a significant amount of praise from critics, complaints began to surface about the quality of the album's mix. In response, Cleopatra Records commissioned multi-instrumentalist producer Billy Sherwood (of Yes) to remix the entire album. However, due to schedule restrictions, Sherwood was never able to complete his mix...until now!



Cleopatra Records in association with Deadline Music proudly announces A WHOLE NEW FREQUENCY! Coming November 4, a special limited edition deluxe reissue of Frequency Unknown will be released. Packaged in a striking 2CD digipak, the deluxe edition includes the original album plus a full-length bonus disc of Sherwood's complete reimagining of the album. Many of the songs were rearranged almost from scratch, with Sherwood adding orchestral arrangements and his own unique spin on these brilliant compositions. Despite the controversy, Sherwood's Frequency shows that this album contained some of Queensrÿche's most complex and rewarding songs in years! Revisit this historic recording and be prepared to hear this album like you've never heard it before!

It's pathetic how much spin this press release has. First they call Geoff Tate the founding vocalist/frontman. He didn't have anything to do with the founding of Queensryche. Second, they never mention the name of his replacement vocalist. Third, someone actually had the nerve to repeat the biggest bullshit description ever: The heaviest Ryche Ever. Ha ha. Then they say that the album received a significant amount of praise. Moms, wives, girlfriends and people on your payroll don't count. Last, they call it a historic recording.... will add the new mixes to Spotify and give it a listen... why not.

no clue why they keep trying to polish this turd but the production was horrendous so ill check the remaster anyway

Album Rating: 2.0

lol really?

Album Rating: 2.5

The remaster is better and would have definitely helped the album go from terrible scores to average scores, at least. The sound is fuller but the drums sound terrible.

Do you know if this new version still be under the QR name, or will it be tagged as Geoff Tate / Operation: Mindcrime?

meh

It's still under the Queensryche name. Apparently they didn't do anything to stop the record label from constantly re-issuing it when the court stuff was being done.
