Title: Why, Queensryche? WHY?
Product review: Oh, the horror. I cannot accurately describe just how bad this album is. Geoff Tate's voice sounds strained and off-key at times. Even the background singers sound old and tired. Tate even appears to have trouble remembering the words to the songs on OM:I, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt....he could just be ad-libbing or something due to having sung those songs over and over for the last 10 years. Chris DeGarmo is not on this album, and it shows. Kelly Gray was a poor replacement for him, but Mike Stone is just abominable. Operation: Mindcrime is one of the best albums *ever* made, and I'll be damned if I want some talentless idiot taking "creative license" with the lead guitar parts. In addition, the mixing of this album is just abominable. I am a huge, huge Queensryche fan, and listening to this disaster really hurts.
