Ryche'ous album

Been sitting listening to the Queensryche Operation Mindcrime II album for past day or so, and still not sure whether it is top notch prog metal or a piece of indulgence. Don't get my little metal head wrong - it's a great album, with some excellent songs, great musical preformances and an intriguing narrative. However, sometimes the joins are forced. Nevertheless congrats to Geoff and co - seems a long way since they supported Dio at Antrim Forum (and no I'm not kidding you young ones!) and the crowd greeted them with barely disguised indifference until Queen of the Reich.

And while talking about albums (you might not have been, but I was) I intend to sign off each post on this blog with what I am currently listening to - sort of like Kerrang's old 'Decks of Doom' but more confusing.

On the Doom Decks (!) tonight are:
  • Operation Mindcrime II
  • Aqualung
  • ReMastered Master of Puppets Tribute and
  • Slide It In

What's rocking your world tonight?

Ok, mate - still think your first answer was closer to the truth but that should be for an altogether different blog :)
