Oh, but the youth of today will consider these classics 20 years from now!

So you don't think there are younger people who like Condition Human better than The Warning or any other early album? Half of my favorite albums by certain bands are the ones most of the people older than me hate. Haha!

Right. I think a negligible amount of young people have heard both albums and prefer CH.

I may not be that young anymore (physically speaking) but I actually consider Condition Hüman their third best album ever, behind O: M and RfO. I gave up on the band in the early 00's, but the two Torre sung albums completely restored my faith in them. Awesome stuff.

Condition human is quite good. A great return to form.

Well, it ain't no superstition!

I don't think I will ever get tired of the EP up through Mindcrime.

Any feedback on their self titled album?

It's a good album with some great songs, but not as good as Condition Human. Fairly brickwalled, too, which is unfortunate. That's its biggest flaw, I think.

Queensryche firing Tate turned you into a troll.

Look, most of the folks who go to see these old classic bands are drones who want to re-live their youth and hear all the classics, regardless of how good or bad the new material is, they couldn't care less about it. Same thing w/Saxon, many of us love their latter albums, but go to any show of theirs and you are going to hear very few cuts from those, w/few exceptions. Even in the late 80's when I saw Sabbath on the "Headless Cross" tour, 3 cuts from that lp and none from "Eternal Idol." When folks went to see Robert Plant back in the day they all wanted "Zeppelin Man!" Remember all the flack Maiden got when they were playing mostly new material a while back, and what they did about it? Go on the massive "Somewhere Back in Time" tour!

Maiden - bad example, the Somewhere Back in Time tour was already planned out prior to the A Matter Of Life And Death tour... which was a killer tour. And the complaints where mostly in the US - not as much so in Europe.

Only time I saw Saxon they played 5 cuts from the new album - that was cool.

Maiden played four sold out shows and performed to some 55,000 people in Sweden alone on the A Matter of Life and Death tour. I didn't hear that much complaint either. And, as pointed out, the following tour was already planned. They've been on this new album tour - history tour switching route since Bruce and Adrain's return.

Japan and Europe have kept many metal bands careers afloat.

I was being a bit facetious, but that is the sentiment in the minds of most Americans.

Not this American. I would think that most Americans understand why you don't see as many metal acts hanging around stateside during the summer. There are just too many festivals going on elsewhere.

I like those a lot too, but I sorta burned myself out on Empire my junior year of high school.

Also a very good album, but not one I could play over and over. I do have very vivid memories of listening to it while writing papers in college.

Good point. I always figured there was just no draw for it. I also live in the smallest state in our country so that may color my perception of the lack of hard rock and heavy metal concerts in my neck of the woods.

Promise land reminds me of college as well. It was my introduction to queensryche actually (not the best way to start though).
