Thanks
Free Music Review: Getting It Anyway
Hit: 4 Stars
I already own the original release (1988) of Operation: Mindcrime. And I own the Limited Edition box set of Operation: LIVEcrime (1989) which included the CD and the concert on VHS. However, I'm planning to get this set anyway because of the newly remastered version of the album, and a different concert which I've never heard before. Not to mention the special books that will come with it (I'm guessing). The primary reason I'm getting it though is for the Video: Mindcrime DVD (which I do not own on VHS).Free Music Review: Operation Mindcrime improved and remastered

Anyone reading these pages already agrees that the OPERATION MINDCRIME album by QUEENSRYCHE is a true metal masterpiece. Arguably their best even those others might site EMPIRE as superior but I think that is lunacy. The Mindcrime album holds a very special place in my heart. The summer that it was released or at least when I discovered it was not one of my best. I played the vinyl album (remember those?) daily until I wore it out. I never thought that an album could be played until its death but I found this out and had to buy another copy. I saw the tour for this when they opened for Metallica and did only a few songs from this plus other live favorites in about a 50 minute set. I have since bought this on cassette and CD. I have seen the VHS LIVECRIME years back and unfortunately, that did not hold my interest as much as the videos. OK, I hear you, get to the point. I found this collection and have to admit, it has everything that a Queensryche/Operation Mindcrime could ask for. Remastered original studio album, how can that ever get a less than 5 rating? New London live version which I think sounds better than the LiveCrime CD released a few years back. 4 ? stars. Third disc is the videos. I like this so much more than seeing them perform this masterpiece live. The videos give the fan a view of what the band was thinking about with their presentation on film of the true concept of "OPERATION MINDCRIME". Using Dr. X and Nicky with news clips other than band miming still makes for a more energetic and enjoyable view. Some may complain about 5.1 sound and all that but I think this is the deluxe treatment, remastered studio, entire album performed live and videos. If you are a Queensryche fan, you will buy this and enjoy it. It may not be perfect but it is a great package! I just wish Mindcrime 2 would have been better. A new assassination plan with modern day terrorists or a story line like something from the show 24 would have been much better than thinking Nicky would be let out of jail and try and continue a story that really ended with Eyes of a Stranger. My thoughts.Free Music Review: I like this version better than Livecrime.

I read some negative reviews but being a huge QR fan I had to buy it. I don't have videocrime so that is cool to have. The live concert however I like better than Livecrime. It is a year earlier and you can tell. Geoff's voice is just better. He sings a much better representation of Mindcrime. Yes Livecrime may be a bit more polished but it is supposed to be. It is from two nights put together. It isn't actually a straight through concert. This one is. One night. A couple missed notes here and there but that's real. Geoff doesn't lower near as many parts vocally. I Don't Believe in Love and Eyes of a Stranger are sung perfectly. You can tell the tour took a little from him if you listen to both this and Livecrime. The sound I thought is also pretty good. I didn't have a problem with it. It didn't sound like a bootleg or anything. I love it. Free Music Review: Incredible

OMCII is just plain great. It is not just like the first but has melodies and beats that have been updated since "6500 days" to show how much they have grown as a band and how far they have come. Vocals are amazing, music is perfect, tight and you feel the musicians love of playing. The story captures you and carries you through Nikki's life and experiences after he is released from jail. You feel the intense emotion Geoff is trying to portray. The pain and suffering Nikki is going through is apparent in the songs. They never try to be like they were, and they shouldn't, even though alot of people always compare anything new they do to operation mindcrime and empire. Their love of just playing and creating means more to the people that appreciate them than how many cd's they've sold. Hearing DIO on this is one of the coolest things I've heard and just shows how great of a band Queensryche is.
