Queensryche - Mindcrime At The Moore ( Audio CD ) 2007

Like Pink Floyd's The Wall (and the ubiquitous Dark Side of the Moon before it), Queensrÿche's 1988 opus Operation Mindcrime became something more overarching than mere career highpoint. A cynic might have dismissed the band's 2006 sequel as a symptom of a band who had lost its creative momentum. Instead, Queensrÿche arguably used the opportunity to both refocus themselves musically and convincingly expand upon the original storyline. Recorded at Seattle's Moore Theatre shortly after the sequel's release, this sprawling, double-disc set chronicles a live rendition of both the story's album-halves that often approaches Floydian levels of rock theatrical grandeur, right down to the obligatory guest turns by Pamela Moore and the entire Seattle Seahawks drumline. Recorded with a pristine clarity, yet infused with the urgent, raw drama of Geoff Tate's vocals and the able crunch of his bandmates, it's a vital take on a conceptual conceit whose themes of treachery and deceit seem to grow timelier by the day--and just maybe one of metal's most enduring modern statements. -
