New Queensryche song...

Taken from a radio stream so it sounds thin...but here it is:

AWESOME..................ly negligible.

its ok. I havent been terribly impressed with anything of theirs for awhile and this one continues that trend...

Move along please - nothing to see here.....

This is the bold, modern direction Tate was talking about? The song just kind of lays there...

They could try getting the cabaret girls again to dance to this when they perform live to spice it up.

What other tricks can they pull to distract from their songwriting?

...take me back to "Queen of the Reich".

Hell, take me back to Promised Land...

When he was saying modern, rhythmic, bold, etc I was expecting a cross between Muse and Rage For Order...which I think would be cool...not a straight forward dull rock song.

What else is new? This is actually better than anything off of Q2K or Tribe.

That's like saying "The turd I left this morning is actually better than the one I left after eating 6 microwave bean burritos."

Girls? I heard they were Trannies.

No DeGarmo = No Queensryche.

Is Tate even interesting to listen to anymore? Without his vocal range of yesteryear, is his voice even appealing? I'm just asking here.

They're just a boring lounge act these days. One step above elevator music.

Now THAT would be interesting!

Ehhhh...it's not terrible. It's better than listening to most pop and country, but it's not terribly exciting either. Tate sounds uninspired and bored. Looks like the vast majority tend to agree from the YouTube comments.

thid is pretty much what i expected. it not bad though. the drums sound a little like the old days. the chorus is stupid though

Makes no sense. People always say this, but they never actually think about what they're saying.

So I'll give my standard reply: Hear in the Now Frontier was mainly written by DeGarmo. Spys4Darwin, his first post QR band, was alt-rock. He also co-wrote a few songs with Dredg, which was alt-rock. He also co-write a couple tunes on QR's Tribe, which are nothing like old QR.

So tell me, why the hell does anyone think the presence of Chris DeGarmo would change anything? It wouldn't. Style-wise, at least. He'd probably help lift the quality of songwriting, but still it would be nothing like old QR.

I'd agree with that. He would have to go BACK to writing in a style of music that HE doesn't even play anymore.

Exactly!!!!!

Yawn.

I did not mind it but I was not in love with it, I do not except them to return to the sounds that made them famous in the first place but I excepted a little more from this band

you got that right. I am not buying this album. I got suckered into OPMCII but not the last one and not this one!

Why? They've been doing this kind of music for over a decade now.

Honestly, though, this song sounds catchier than most songs from that period. But we'll see when a better version shows up online. Despite the overall dip in quality between the older and newer stuff, they've still managed to do at least an album's worth of excellent tunes and even more decent tunes.

But I still think American Soldier is their worst ever, so we'll see...

I am actually liked most of post DeGarmo material, I do not own OM II or American Solider, but IMO Geoff Tate is still a great vocalist and the band are better songwriters then this song suggest
