For those that have been waiting for an actual legitimate return to Queensryche's classic sound (and not just a surface level throwback), Digital Noise Alliance is it. It delivers everything their 2013 self-titled release did, but it also includes a lot of elements that were missing such as the sophisticated nuance in the songwriting. Digital Noise Alliance isn't just a homage to the past, though, because it also takes the best elements from Condition Human and The Verdict, such as the metallic edge and progressive slant. Altogether, Digital Noise Alliance is probably the closest modern Queensryche has ever been to recapturing their classic sound, but it's still decidedly contemporary with its use of the more metallic and progressive elements first introduced with Todd La Torre.
