    Geoff Tate (pronounced "Jeff") and Chris DeGarmo were at the top of the mountain in their heyday. DeGarmo is criminally underrated as a guitarist and songwriter! For me, the standout song on this album is "Screaming in Digital"...it's like nothing else you have ever heard.
    This album seems so much tamer after all these years...it's hard to understand how groundbreaking it was in its day. Without "Rage for Order," there would never have been an "Operation: Mindcrime."
    God bless!!

No idea where it came from. So happy you are finally onto this brilliant band. I look forward to more. Great reactions thankyou..... - You do put me just in the mood for music I've not played in a while - Time to get this one off the shelf again. X

    How cool! I wasn't expecting you to get down with some Queensryche. Shortly after I arrived at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, in 1986, I heard a guy jamming this album and I had to go out and buy it immediately. Operation: Mindcrime is a masterpiece. Empire is a hit machine. But Rage For Order is still my favorite. Criminally underated in my book. Thank you, Nick N lex!

    Big Rush fan here, the Queensryche album 'Rage For Order' is my favorite album from any group. I hated it at first...but after about 3 listens (always apply the 3 listen rule before dismissing a song), it became my favorite. The subject matter was way ahead of its time and the production of the album were top tier. Also, Geoff Tate is the best 80's metal singer, or in the top 5 (give a listen to 'take hold of the flame', live in tokyo early 80's.). Their concept album 'Operation: Mindcrime' is a must listen, also one of the best concept albums of the 80's with a topic that is still relevant today.

    The Ryche ruled for a while. Nobody could touch them at their peak! They combined old school heavy metal like Maiden or Priest, especially with the guitar harmonies and high rang clear powerful vocals. Add prog with influences of Rush and Floyd. All songs have a good storyline, not just rhyming lines with mo content. You cant get any better than that! 🤘

    Rage For Order is a watershed moment for the band and is unique in the catalog. The song, Walk In The Shadows to me is a love song for someone becoming and falling in love with the vampire who turned them. Then, I Will Remember is just a haunting metaphor for everyone who feels list in the world.

    Rage for Order is my go to QR album. When Operation Mindcrime came out I was all over that and listened to it for a solid year or more 24/7 and thought that was thier peak and it might have been from a purely production and listening standpoint, but looking back more recently, Rage was the best example of what this band was ever about from a writing, technical, talent, and stylistic measurement. Geoff never sounded better and the musicianship was at it's best.

    Queensryche is one of the best places to start if you're going to get into metal because it is very intellectual listen to the lyrics understand how it coalesces with the music the way the music changes revolves around the emotion in the song and that is why they call it progressive rock or metal

    Killing Words unplugged is a must, as is the Mindcrime album in it's entirety. Queensryche is one of my favorite bands.

    Thank you so much for doing this band! So glad you liked them! Saw them many times and it makes me sad because they are so underrated. For my money, very few bands can compare. I'll leave you with an old anthem....Ryche n Roll 🎶

    You'll have to check other tracks from this album, like Neue Regal. I'm the same age as these guys and we grew up in the same area. Occasionally went to the same parties and hung out back in the early 80's. Chris, Michael and Scott were pretty cool, humble dudes.

    Queensrÿche es una de las mejores bandas de prog metal de todos los tiempos.
    Otro disco que está entre mis favoritos, además de Rage for Order, es The Warning, si mal no recuerdo su antecesor.

    Good reaction!! I like how both of you could appreciate some of the finer points of the music and vocals, etc. Lyrically, Walk in the Shadows was about vampires, and I Will Remember is about surveillance satellites. Their subject matter is always interesting and several cuts above the usual!
    QR is exactly the kind of metal I love!! They really are in a category by themselves. Very versatile. I love their INTENSITY, and perfectly crafted &.executed songs!
    Try live in Tokyo "Take Hold of the Flame",
    MTV 1991 Unplugged "The Killing Words",
    Oh heck, just ALL of their songs! And of COURSE the HIGHLY regarded "Operation: Mindcrime"!! Whole album, in order. It's a concept album. One long story. I look forward to more QR reactions from both of you!

    An interesting note: Warning was QRs' first attempt at a concept album. Released in 1984 about a technocratic Big Brother like society, inspired by George Orwells' 1984. Val Garay, mix engineer messed the song order up. Thus the angry title of the next album!

    Aguante Queensryche, Geoff Tate es un animal, de los mejores vocalistas de la historia del Rock en general. Operaton Mindcrime es una obra de arte.❤
    Chicos, , arranquen con las segundas/terceras escuchas siguiendo con Serú Giran y la canción Eiti Leda, Invisible 74 de Spinetta con la misma formación q escucharon de Pappo'''Blues y la cancion Suspensión, Divididos con Ala Delta, Sumo con Estallando desde el océano, Los Redondos con Rock Yugular o salando las heridas y otras bandas q nada tienen que envidiarleva los gringos..... seguiremos esperando, abrazo a ambos🤘❤👍😷

    Operation Mindcrime must be listened to in one sitting. It is a rock opera, a story, so basically it’s one long song. It is absolutely the best heavy metal/rock album ever made, a perfect masterpiece. Enjoy!

    You probably remember me from commenting a lot of your Rush reviews and I'm glad you have finally found Queensryche. They have so many great albums and songs through the decades of the 80s and 90s before they split the band. I hope you will start doing some reviews of their stuff regularly...here's a few you might want to review:
    Queen of the Reich
    The lady wore Black
    Take hold of the flame
    Anything off of Operation Mindcrime, especially I don't believe in love, Suite Sister Mary, eyes of a stranger, the mission, Breaking the Silence. If you can youtube the official videos for these songs from the Operation Livecrime DVD that is the best way to review these songs from Operation Mindcrime because they sound exactly like the studio versions and watching them play them Live is fantastic. I was actually at the Columbus, Ohio show for this tour about 10 days before they recorded the same concert at their Madison Wisconsin show which is where operation livecrime video was shot.
    That album was followed by their biggest album ever Empire, containing a ton of great songs:
    Best I Can
    Jet City Woman
    Another Rainy Night
    Resistance
    Silent Lucidity
    Hand on Heart
    Anybody listening?

    Got this in HS when it came out, I love it. I'd say as a complete album Operation: Mindcrime is more impressive, but Rage For Order is really underrated and has some very mature compositions and playing. Even their first LP 'The Warning' is impressive. Definitely a great band in that era. Thanks much for the reaction.

    Thanks for tackling Queensryche, one of my favorite hard rock / heavy metal bands ever. The have a bunch of good albums but their initial EP and first full album - Warning, along with Operation Mindcrime, were the best from the original band. Please do Take Hold of the Flame (live 1984 is the best version), Queen of the Ryche, The Lady Wore Black and On the Roads to Madness. As for Operation Mindcrime, like a Pink Floyd album it is best heard all the way through as it is a concept album of the 1st order. Enjoy! Rock On. 😎

  • @cometogether999
    @cometogether999 3 года назад +6

    If you were real lucky and had cool DJ's, (back in those days they'd even take song requests) they would play "Queen of the Reich" or "The Lady Wore Black" on the radio in the early 80's. Made me love Geoff's voice immediately. Another band that I completely regret not seeing live. I don't know why my phone won't allow the placement of the umlaut over the y in their name.

    This is very 80s to me, the music and the singing (siren-style as Bruce Dickinson, Jeff Scott Soto and others). I like both songs, but I only listen to QR once in a while. Geoff by the way is the shortcut of Geoffrey (I heard people pronounce it "Dschoffree". Fun fact: according to Wiki Geoff Tate is born in Stuttgart/Germany under the name Jeffrey Tate ... but it doesn't say when and why he turned Geoff

    On the singer's name... Geoff is pronounced like Jeff. Operation:Mindcrime is probably one of my favorite albums, CDs, whatever. You really need to listen to the whole thing though first to last track.
