QUEENSRYCHE

Great pickup, they were inspired on that one.

I have the new one and love it. I have the black, red smoke autographed, and red on vinyl.

I'm loving this album! My favorite song currently is "Light Years".

It's a good one, Dark Reverie might be favorite on this album.

My favorite is still this one:

Those sound good. I may have to pull the trigger on this one.

It's very good. I would say a slight step up over "Human" but not as good as the first effort. It's really become LaTorre leading the way which I think is a good thing. He's younger and has the passion that will carry them through another album or two. My biggest issue with the direction they were in under Tate was that it felt uninspired and just phoned in. That's why the songs sucked.

I still haven't gotten this damn album! It's on the list tho.

Nor have I. I wanted access to the behind-the-scenes stuff during their Pledge Music campaign, so I just paid for the digital version. Then they never sent the fucking thing. I know Pledge Music dicked them over, but holy crap at least send the MP3s to the people who paid for them!

So I illegally downloaded the album. Haha. Holding out for a cheaper copy of the bonus-track version.

I just got my copy this week. I like it. Nothing mind-blowing, but decent enough for what it is. It'll probably make my Top 10 for the Year, but that's not saying much as I haven't purchased much this year so far.

It will definitely be in my top 10 too .

I think it's a fantastic album.

One thing that has surprised me on the last two albums is that Eddie Jackson can write some damn good tunes! He's written "Propaganda Fashion," "Light Years," "Eye9," and "46º North," music and lyrics. Didn't think he wrote at all. He didn't even have a writing credit until Empire, and only like four total until these new albums, and none of those earlier ones were sole credits.

Tater cannot stop acting like a total jerk:

Sweet Obliveon sounds like some of the best work he's done in years. What a waste.

So much ego.

Sounds like Geoff's wife attended the Sharon Osbourne Academy of Career Management.

I think I heard Wendy Dio will be at a future management seminar. It will be called: "How to milk your husbands career, Hologram 101"

Oh yeah, I'm sure Sharon has been watching the Dio-gram tour very closely, taking notes and saying, "soon... soooooon...."

I noticed yesterday that Amazon is no longer selling this CD. It's only available from third-party sellers now. Should have bought it a few weeks ago. =(

Already? That sucks but i'm guessing it had a limited run due to their money issues.

It is still available on Amazon UK. This is where i got my cd from.

They're having money issues?

Along the lines of not selling enough albums to make it worth printing a lot of albums. I should've been clearer.

Glad I already got this one with the limited supply. As been said before, not mind blowing but a very solid album.

As for Tate, while I enjoy the stuff he's doing with Avantasia, with his track record and after hearing Operation Mindcrime-The Key I don't want anything with his fingerprints on it.
