yaah, its just that most of your rec's are pretty top notch! If I would have the time I would check it out right away, but I haven't so it'll have to wait.

Well, I've enjoyed this band since back in the 80's. I would have to completely agree with this review top to bottom.
Everything past Promised Land became recycled crap... relying heavily on Geoff's voice to try to carry it through... which it did not.
While this new album does have some hopes of "greater things, and grander times" I believe that once Chris Degarmo left the band, it was never the same.

Very good review. I'll at this to my list of albums to "cautiously explore."
|

hrmmm might actually check this out.
|

I have Operation: Mindcrime and it's ok. I think that's all I need by these guys.
Nice review though.

"Oh yeah, also in no way do the songs or interviews come off like some arrogant "American Cowboy" trying to save the world. The only reason you know they're all American is because the band was stupid enough to include it in the title, but it really could be the same thoughts and feelings of any soldiers anywhere. Just making sure the rest of the world doesn't think they'll be getting a piece of self-serving American propaganda put to music. "
yeah that's what I wanted to know, I'll probably pick it up soon.

Good review Willie. I was never really a fan of the band though.

Good review. It's a halfway decent album, but i'm still longing for something that resembles the pre-1990 Ryche. Look at the songwriting credits. Tate co-wrote every song, and Jason Slater and Kelly Gray also have a bunch of songwriting credits. Other than Scott Rockenfield getting credit for 2 songs, no one else in the band have any contributions. It pisses me off a little that they are relying so heavily on their producers to write songs! I hate to say it, but I kind of get the impression that Chris DeGarmo was the driving force behind the Queensryche of old.

I hate to say it, but I kind of get the impression that Chris DeGarmo was the driving force behind the Queensryche of old. I don't know if we'll ever get another album that resembles pre-1990 Queensryche. From the looks of their new guitarist we're more likely to end up with a My Chemical Romance sounding album. It has become pretty obvious that the rest of the band relied pretty heavily on Chris Degarmo for writing, but he can break them as often as he can make them (he does bare the main responsibility for "Hear in the Now" and his songs on "Tribe" weren't all that good either).

I just wrote up an application in the time it took for you to reply, have a read :D

I was on my way to work, but I just read your application. Very nice. I think if there is one thing that will get you through the door it's your reference to achieving Nick Greer's level of "professionalism". ;) I've started campaigning for you already, but that may hurt more than it helps.

Haha thanks a lot man, it's appreciated. I'm not as fussed as I was last year, I'll be posting and reviewing the same anyway, just the added rep would be cool.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It is kind of a pain in the ass in a way because you will get bogged down in new releases, probably, and anything more than a month old just kind of fades out of reach.
|
| |
Yeah, that's the downside, but I guess it's not too bad.

Your review is perfect, exactly the way I feel about the album. I'm also impressed with Geoff Tate's 10 year old daughter singing on "Home Again"

I was expecting her inclusion to be a vanity thing that the rest of the band couldn't override, but she delivered her parts well.
