Details: Review Heavy cérébral - Voici une réédition de luxe, épaisse et impressionnante, sur laquelle il faut se ruer puisqu'elle nous redonne sous un emballage magnifique ce qui restera à jamais le chef d'oeuvre de Queensryche, et même un chef d'oeuvre absolu du rock, à savoir Operation Mindcrime, le disque qui est au heavy flamboyant ce que The Lamb est à la progressive et Sergeant Pepper aux Beatles. Avec le bonus de l'EP Queen Of The Reich, certes moins conséquent, mais qui gavera les fans. Pour cette cauchemaresque suite très inspirée de George Orwell, Geoff Tate, Chris de Garmo et Mike Wilton avaient quintessencié leurs talents, produisant en 1986 ce beau monstre qui allait inspirer tant de groupes ensuite, notamment Dream Theater. Indispensable. -- Compact Amazon.ca Long dubbed "the thinking man's metal band," Queensryche have always been difficult to classify; somewhere between Iron Maiden and Pink Floyd. Mindcrime was their breakthrough album, garnering the band commercial and critical success. Arguably their best release, this is a complex, ambitious effort, with top-notch music and a complicated storyline (a disillusioned fortune hunter of the Reagan era joins an underground movement to assassinate political scumbags) that flows smoothly from start to finish. The combination of experimental, progressive music with shorter, more radio-friendly songs works well, and enabled the band to release singles from the album while keeping the story intact. These shorter songs provide the album's most exciting moments; "Revolution Calling," "Eyes of a Stranger," and "I Don't Believe in Love" are some of the best metal songs out there. --Genevieve Williams
