Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars THE BEST ALBUM OF HEAVY SOUND EVER!!!.......2001-11-01

QUEENSRYCHE IS ONE OF THE MOST "ACCEPTED" BANDS IN THE GREEK AUDIENCE.THIS IS SOMETHING QUITE EASY TO UNDERSTAND,SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BAND THAT RELEASED THE MUSIC LEGEND CALLED "OPERATION MINDCRIME".AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE EXELLENT "RAGE FOR ORDER" LP,WE WERE AFRAID THAT THIS BAND REACHED THE HIGHER LEVEL OF IT'S CREATIVITY...BUT TIME PROVED OTHERWISE (THANK GOD).
IN MY OPPINION THIS IS THE BEST METAL ALBUM EVER TO BE RELEASED IN THIS UNIVERSE,AND I'M PRETTY CERTAIN THAT THERE WILL BE NO OTHER EVEN TO REACH THIS CLIMAX (EVEN THOUGH BANDS LIKE PAIN OF SALVATION WITH THE "PERFECT ELEMENT PTI" ALBUM ARE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN).
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO POINT THE BEST SONG IN THIS ALBUM SINCE IT'S THE ONLY ALBUM THAT COMPLETELLY RESPECTS THE TERM CONCEPT-BUT IF I'M FORCED TO DO SO I SHOULD SAY "THE EYES OF THE STRANGER". LYRICS LIKE THOSE MADE LOTTS OF GREEK METAL MAGAZINE JOURNALIST TO GIVE QUEENSRYCHE THE TITLE "THE METAL BAND OF THE PENSIVE METALHEAD".

I WILL SPEAK NO MORE-NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS WHAT I FELT WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS ALBUM AND LATER ON WHEN I SAW THE "OPERATION LIVECRIME" CONCERT IN VIDEO...

THIS ALBUM DESERVES ALL THE STARS IN THE UNIVERSE!!!
I THINK THAT WHEN I'M ABOUT TO DIE AND PARTS OF MY LIFE WILL BE PASSING INFRONT OF ME LIKE A MOVIE - ONE OF THOSE WILL BE THE COVER OF THIS ALBUM.
I FELL BLESSED BEING ABLE TO LISTEN AND FEEL AN ALBUM LIKE THIS!!!

GOD BLESS GEOFF AND CO.

THE QUEENSRYCHE EP IS THE BEGINNING OF THE LEGEND ,A TYPICAL PRIEST/MAIDEN INFLUENCED BAND. VERY GOOD START WITH MY FAVORITE SONG "THE LADY WORE BLACK"

5 out of 5 stars Sounds better than the original release........2001-08-20

Supposedly this copy was remastered, and it does sound clearer. The original release sounds quite a bit muddy to me--this one's a little easier on the ears.

This is one of my favorite CDs, one of the few that I can listen to from start to finish and enjoy the whole thing. Sometimes when bands try to make a concept album, it ends up sounding cheesy. Not this one. The lyrics are fantastic--dark, saddening at times, makes you kind of mad at the 'system', just like Nikki (the album's subject).

Geoff Tate's vocals make it all seem real. He's got probably the best voice in heavy metal. He puts a lot of emotion into his singing, which makes the album's plot sound a lot more convincing. When listening to this album (especially with a set of headphones...sitting in the dark), it seems like it's all real.

The whole recording is great, but my favorite tracks are the last five. I love how the album ends.

4 out of 5 stars Nice Packaging.......2000-07-27

The CD has a really nice leather case with a cool insert. The insert has pictures and lyrics. The CDs are the same as the original releases. I mistakenly thought that it was Operation Mindcrime Live, but sadly it is not. It is a really nice package, but the music is still just the like the CD's I already have.
