Queensryche
Since this band released its latest studio release (its 10th studio release, in fact!), American Soldier, it seems pertinent to talk about this band! How do you feel about them? What's your favorite/least favorite album/song?
Personally, I've been getting into Queensryche fairly heavily, of late. Things like Operation:Mindcrime and Empire (their two most popular albums) especially have caught my attention, but the sheer stupidity of Geoff Tate's early vocal quality (Listen to "Take Hold of the Flame" and "Queen of the Reich") is what strikes me as so odd...not that a man can hit notes so cleanly, but because his speaking voice points to somebody who sings at a much lower register (as evidenced by songs like "Silent Lucidity" and "Empire"), yet he has a blistering high range, especially in the earlier years. The overall musical style also sets these guys apart from the rest of the 80s-era metal pack.
What's your take?
How ya doing, buddy?
