[HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS] Wednesday, October 03, 2012 7:17:28 AM
I like Empire, but it just doesn't have the edge that the earlier albums have. It just sounds more commercial to me and less metal. I used to listen to The Warning album everyday on my walk across the frozen tundra to my 8am class at MSU. No Sanctuary would play and it was just perfect for that moment. That song has some very intense vocals. Eddie and Whip were thrilled when I told them that The Warning was my favorite. Geoff? Not so much!
I think Geoff has been drinking too much of his shit wine, BTW!! OM2, what a fucking JOKE!! Only listened to it once and couldn't stand it. Did you watch the OM2 DVD? Geoff needs to just give it up and sing on Broadway. It's pretty obvious that THAT is what he really wants to do, although he totally SUCKS as an actor. Operation Mindcrime, now THAT was a KILLER concert!
BTW, I pit "Empire" against "The Warning" as I think nothing tops "Operation: Mindcrime." I argue it like I would "The Wall." I love Pink Floyd - MANY earlier songs a few later. However, like OM, I see "The Wall" as an entity rather than individual songs. Sadly, Queensryche couldn't re-create the same magic with OM2. THAT is just a mess of songs to me and I do stress the word "mess."
Still, I think I have posted once or a thousand times that I love "Re-Arrange you!" HAAA!!!
Best comment on this video? "Why are they letting the roadie sing?" LOL!!!!
