Queensryche (Official Thread)

[Riff Raff]

Length of the album contributes but for me it was the uninspired song writing that destroyed the album for me personally.
Ill pretty much stick to albums up until and including Hear in the Now Frontier.

I hear ya.....I always give these tougher ones a spin from time to time. I enjoy the challenge.

I need to break out St. Anger again soon.

More power to you if you find Dedicated a grower, glad someone can find good in an album no matter what other people think.

St Anger. Do you really wanna punish your ears like that?
The drums will leave you with the same ringing you get from a concert without ear plugs.

I know the CD all too well...all 5 times I played it since it came out

Dedicated is not as much of a grower as Promised Land or HITNF

 

[METALPRIEST]

With all this talk over the Brasil incident, I found this and decided to post it. This is what Queensryche used to be...this is GREATNESS here...enjoy.

Full Show 1986

 

[Soot and Stars]

I finally bought Empireand though their cover of Scarborough Fair was awesome!

 

[Riff Raff]

Loved that cover as well, hell the entire Empire album is classic really.

Sooty lose in the 'Ryche thread...


And posting a Simon & Garfunkel cover by the band...who'd have thunk it??

 

[Riff Raff]

Trying Dedicated to Chaos again to see if there is anything remotely redeemable about it. Even American Soldiers worst stuff is still better than this shit. I believe in giving even a bad album a second chance but they have out lived their welcome.

Yeah I heard it through and there is not one song that I ever want to recall. It was all just atrocious crap. I don't see the band putting out anymore good material.

Queensryche was one of my favorite bands in the 80's and my favorite album from them is warning. The album was heavy, contained some of tates best vocals, had interesting dark apocalyptic lyrics, and had a atmospheric sound.
