I may bump this up. Need to give it another spin. It feels very mature in a fun and psychedelic way. I also really like the artwork, something about it just hits a spot for me.

I think the cover reminds me of a 90s FMV adventure game. Not sure why. But it does.

If you like the artwork check the vinyl's one, you see a lot more of the totem.



"It feels very mature in a fun and psychedelic way"

Agreed 100%, Queensryche at their most mature musically (and lyrically). The drumming in My Global Mind is a prime example, and indeed the psych influence of I Am I brings an interesting edge to the band

Someone Else!



Queensryche had a bit of a reputation for special ending tracks on albums.



ep - Laby Wore Black

Warning - Roads to Madness

Rage - I Will Remember

Mindcrime - Eyes of a Stanger

Empire - Anybody Listening

Promised Land - Someone Else

Frontier - Spool (the weakest one here, but a decent song for a shitty album)

Q2k - The Right Side of My Mind (great song but also a shitty album)

For sure. If you like Someone Else I suggest to check the full band version included in the Japanese release. Real World also deserves a listen speaking of Japanese bonuses.



@teamster you know me, golden era Ryche is something else. Empire is the one I dig less and it's still absolutely killer, true lesson in how to "sell out" with taste

Why is it the 'full band' version of Someone Else seems to be the more widely known of the song? The original piano acoustic is so much more superior.

I only know the original LP version, and yes Titan bro, great song.

This is their last relevant/great release.

This album should have a bonus track at the end, titled 'Cut The Cord Right Here'

It's a contender for their best song in my opinion, a monolith.

Yup love it. But the first two songs (2 and 3) are terrific.
