Operation: Mindcrime - Resurrection

Press release:

 

BREAKING NEWS: Frontiers Music srl is excited to announce the release of “Resurrection”, the new album from Operation: Mindcrime, the brainchild of legendary vocalist Geoff Tate. The album is set for a worldwide release on September 23, 2016.

“Resurrection” is the second part of the musical trilogy from iconic metal vocalist Geoff Tate. Following one year after the release of the debut album in September 2015, Operation: Mindcrime continues in the spirit of the historic album of the same name, spawning concepts as grand as the music, and intertwining the intensity of the former Queensrÿche vocalist's iconic past with the provocative, progressive mindset that has made him one of music's most resolute forces and frontmen.

“The album “Resurrection” is the second part of our three album presentation or trilogy. It continues the story that began on the first album “The Key” with the near death experience of the lead character known as “H” and his subsequent recovery of the missing encryption key. With the Key finally in his possession, “H” has everything he needs to finally launch his long awaited project called “The New Reality”. Or does he…,” explains Geoff Tate.

Tate continued, “I’m excited for people to hear and experience “Resurrection” because I think it answers some of the questions that were posed in the first album, “The Key”. Musically, it offers some of the most diverse and challenging material that I’ve ever written.”

Geoff Tate has sold more than 25 million records at the helm of Queensryche, the band he fronted for 30 years from their inception through 2012, earning three The GRAMMYs nominations, five MTV Music Video Award nomimations, and one MTV Video Music Awards along the way. The landmark concept album Operation: Mindcrime thrust Tate's unique social consciousness, style and expertly crafted lyrics into the national spotlight in 1988, and was followed by Empire in 1990, the album that delivered Queensryche to arena-headlining status and sold more than three million albums on the back of hit singles and radio staples "Silent Lucidity" and "Jet City Woman." By the time the band released Promised Land in 1994, Geoff Tate was universally acknowledged as one of the greatest frontmen in rock and metal, and a driving force behind one of the most innovative bands in mainstream music. From Mindcrime and Promised Land through 2009's overlooked gem American Soldier - Tate's ambitious concept album that explores the consequences of war as told through the voices of veterans - Tate's 13-album tenure with Queensryche was marked by exploration, intrigue, bold risks and gratifying results.

"Tate's 13-album tenure with Queensryche was marked by exploration, intrigue, bold risks and gratifying results."

That's a posh way of saying 2 good albums and a load of tosh, isn't it?

[Fat Freddy]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

2 good albums? Only 2? You're out of your phuking mind if you believe Queensryche only released 2 good albums with Tate. Everything up to Empire was not only good, they were great!

[AlphaMale]

Way more than 2 good discs IMO.

Just noticed that they neglected to mention 2011's "Dedicated to Chaos" (QR's last album w/Tate) in this rundown. Maybe Geoff's forgotten about it already. Lord knows everyone else has...

 

 

Also, a totally random thought: how many bands have used "Resurrection" as an album title now? Off the top of my head I can think of two (Halford and Venom) but I'm sure there must be others....

[AlphaMale]

American Soldier was crap.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

American Soldier was crap.

Never even heard it. Didn't bother.

In a word: Bleagh!

 

Music = awful. Production = worse.

+1

 

God-awful

[JLPRocks]

That was boring..............

[martinsane]

There is a lot going on in that 4 minutes. Almost like they tried to throw in every element from every QR song they could into the one song.

 

For me anything outside of The Lady Wore Black or even Jet City Women is a no thanks when it comes to QR or GT.

[Stefan]

The chorus isn't that bad.

You didn't like the original OPERATION MINDCRIME?

 

My God it's absolutely brilliant.

[Geoff]

Neither song is inconceivably bad (like the previous album was) but still, would you actually bother with this? I wouldn't.

[Stefan]

The great songs just keeps on coming...

 

 

[heavyharmonies]

Dafuq? 1:40 before any vocals, the first minute is just drums. Tate trying to do David Bowie. This thing is a mess.

Horrid isn't it??

[Dead Planet]

Does anyone really care about this band? It seems to me they get a lot of credit for very little great output.....

Great output?????

 

Where????

 

All I've ever heard from this band is pure rubbish!!

[heavyharmonies]

Wait, what? Rubbish?

 

Sure, the recent stuff is crap, but the early material (The Warning, Rage for Order, Operation Mindcrime, and even Empire) are great material IMO. A couple being essential classics!

We're talking about OM not Queensryche. Or are we?

 

If we are talking about Queensryche, I liked everything up to Promised Land. All garbage since. And OM picks up the garbage-a-thon.
