Dude, if you don't get that the first EP and The Warning are early US Power Metal with SOME prog elements you are the one mising the boat.

Promised Land is a horrible album but I know lots of people like it that discovered Queensryche late or past their prime or were into Grunge and shit.

Anyways, when is that new Moospell out and you were dead on about how great the new Amorphis is.

Dude, "Queen Of The Reich" is a power metal song, that's the only one from that album that is. "Blinded" and "Nightrider" have slight elements of power metal, but are essentially just metal songs, even a bit thrashy in spots.

The Warning has only one songs that I'd say was power metal, "Before The Storm." The rest, again, have just elements, like the end of "Road To Madness." Some songs like "NM156" and "The Warning" are not power metal at all.

I won't argue that this band had power metal and prog elements in their music, but I hear way more traditional metal and rock.

To be honest, the songwriting is too boring to catch my attention. I don't expect Mindcrime II to grow with time either.

It did for me.


Here's hoping... First listen about an hour ago and I'm unimpressed. I liked that the drums sounded the same as Mindcrime I and there were a pieces of tracks that grabbed my attention, but something about the lyrics seem forced.

I'll put it in the rotation and see how things pan out.

I actually think they lyrics are very well done. I don't think they sound forced at all. I think Nikki kills Dr. X in "A Murderer?," too. In "If I Could Change It All" I get the impression that Mary never felt the same way for him that he felt for her. I don't know, there's a lot to digest in the lyrics and I think they're very well-written to the point where it actually makes the album even better.

The more and more I listen to it, the I feel that if it weren't for "Speed Of Light" I'd be very tempted to give this album a 90. I also think Geoff sounds awesome, on Tribe and Q2K he seemed to be a bit low-key, which drew remarks that he lost his voice, he sounds excellent on this one, very powerful.

Yeah. She either commited suicide or was a figment of Nikki's imagination. I don't know.
