A Great Introduction To A Great Band

Advantages: Great songs, great riffs, great vocals
Disadvantages: A few average tracks

This greatest hits collection shows what a versatile, original and underrated band Queensryche are. Opening with the heavy Queen of the Reich, followed by the melodic The Lady Wore Black, you know straght away that Queensryche are capable of more than just standard heavy metal riffing. Jet City Woman has an incredible bass introduction, fantastic vocals and an anthemic chorus, putting Queensryche above most other bands for power, while also showing ...
...evident on bonus track Someone Else which has some haunting saxophone lines, again elevating Queensryche above the competition. A final mention must go to the incredible vocals of Geoff Tate, who stands alongside Rob Halford of Judas Priest as one of the best rock/metal singers around. Of course, not every track is a classic, but it's definitely worth a listen, because there are some truly great songs on this compilation- songs with a level of originality ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Queensryche

Beware of the Night

Advantages: hree great speed metal songs and a nice gloomy ballad.
Disadvantages: Surprisingly unoriginal, and too short.

The first release of Washington progressive metal pioneers Queensrÿche fails to predict the innovative style the band would later be associated with, similar to how the first album of their genre contemporaries Dream Theater sounds like just another inferior clone of Rush. This self-titled E.P., originally of four tracks but later amended to five, is considered by many to be the band's most consistent work, despite being entirely derivative of the ...
...prog rock and glam influences that would later define the band's most commercially successful period, the songs on this 1983 release can be very easily attributed to the two English leaders of the afore-mentioned movement; to apply a rough and admittedly crude formula, tracks one and four are very similar to Iron Maiden, while the middle two sound a lot like Judas Priest. Then again, even at this early stage the band chooses to spell its name with ...

Review of Queensryche [Remastered] - Queensryche

Come back Chris

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

This is the newest album from the seattle rockers Queensryche and the first since the departure of Chris De Garmo. So what has the change of personel meant for the band. Sorry to say that Chris's departure has been a disaster for the band. This Album has only a few of the traits we have come to expect from the band and it fails to either impress or surprise. This is an album that could have been made by any of a number of US bands and that is not ...
...Mindcrime they have nade a few decent albums and written a couple of blinding ditty's but this album is in my opinion the low point of the bands history. The tracks are all too similar to each other and as with any band it appears that the sum is more than the total of the parts. Hopefully chris will return at some point and i will not have to see the sham band that called itself Queensryche again (I spent good money to see them on the last tour ...

Review of Q2K - Queensryche

My favourite album

Advantages: Unique and Brilliant consistancey of good tracks
Disadvantages: Old fashion looking album design

Normally im into Children of Bodom, Slipknot, BFMV and alot more of the screamo bands. But the Avenged Sevefold have a truly unique style, the vocalist is amazing. I bought this album, and loved it. I think the best on the album is The beast and the harlot. I truly love this band and cannot wait until their next tour. The consistancy of the tracks is also very good with tracks like afterlife, bat country, Blinded in chains, MIA and gunslinger deserving ...

cradle of filth Possible for music lovers or Extreme Metal Metal familiar with the name of this one band, one of the most successful British bands that may be feasible for some people juxtaposed with the Iron Maiden predecessor.
