content: QR is a band with an exceptional career and legendary albums. _Operation: Mindcrime_ was a stunning and powerful masterpiece, _Empire_ represented some of the smoothest rock I've ever heard, and _Promised Land_ showed off the band's diversity in a way few others could match. So why have the last two albumbs been soooooooo bad? Gone is the sentiment, storytelling, and perfect blending of vocals and instruments. Vanished is the powerful emotion behind each song which super-charged the listener. What is left are childish songs like "Sacred Ground" which only leave the fans disgusted by a group that used to have such incredible talent. The band can no longer hear the revolution calling nor the cries of their fans over the sound of the garbage they now call music.
