Geoff Tate's Mindcrime III

2026-05-03 by metalhead2425 | 31 Comments
In the outcome of the notorious Queensryche lawsuit over the rights to the name over a decade ago, Geoff Tate lost the band name, but secured the rights to the Operation: Mindcrime albums allowing for him to create the long-speculated third entry in the series. This album notably features Disturbed bassist John Moyer and Operation: Mindcrime guitarist Dario Parente. It was released on 5/3/2026 and is now available on all major streaming platforms. Physical releases are coming later this year.

Dud! Ryche made something spectacular almost 4 decades ago and this is Geoff’s last stab at making a few more bucks off of the original’s greatness and lore. This is too noisy and compressed and his voice is no longer what it was (which I don’t hold against him, just part of aging). I know he has said he’s retiring soon, good.

Present day, this man destroys everything he puts his hands on. This will get 1 spin though because….

did he just say "we speak the word / the word is whatever the fuck I want it to be"

also those child-chorus "ahhh" things in the background are so icky

Tate fell off so hard in general, even before he got booted from Queensryche

True, Dedicated to Chaos was abysmal

The only Mindcrime here is Geoff Tate thinking he even has a decimal percentage of the talent necessary to make a sequel to the original album

Here’s Geoff’s post, obviously butt-hurt about the criticism of OM3:
“ F**k negativity, f**k cruelty, f**k the haters, f**k small mindedness… You know my f**kin name!”

Lol

I could go see him tomorrow night. He’s playing the original Mindcrime in full and I assume some of the hits…

My dad was a piece of shit but I try to think of the positive times with him. Bonding over that record is one of them. It was his favorite album ever (and for sure is one of mine too), his eyes would light up like I’ve never seen before any time I brought it up or the Building Empires tour. He’s been gone for a couple of years now, and I’d like to think sitting near the back of the venue and pouring one out while Spreading the Disease is playing would give me some closure that I still don’t really feel like I ever got.

But Jesus fucking Christ Geoff. Just let me have my dumb little moment instead of making me question whether or not I should go at all.

I will be there tomorrow. I saw him last year at Delmar Hall too. It’s a great show I highly recommend seeing.

Money is a little tight right now, I dunno. I might go. Maybe I can cop one cheap off StubHub. Got no idea what scalpers were thinking with that one, he never would’ve sold out the Pageant.
