Ranked in the ║ │ │║ top 20 of the 100 Greatest Metal Vocalists of ║ │ │║ All Time by Hit Parader Magazine, Geoff and his ║ │ │║ various iterations have enjoyed global success. ║ │ │║ From the very first Queensryche EP released back ║ │ │║ in 1982, to his most recent effort, ║ │ │║ æResurrectionÆ, a progressive rock tour de force ║ │ │║ which attempts to overwhelm the listener as well ║ │ │║ as create a sort of calm. Rock æn Relax, maybe? ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ As any fan of GeoffÆs well knows, he had a ║ │ │║ falling out with his original band, Queensryche, ║ │ │║ several years ago which culminated in his ║ │ │║ departure from the band. As any music fan knows, ║ │ │║ a true musician will continue to make music ║ │ │║ regardless of the circumstances. So, knowing ║ │ │║ Geoff the way his fans do, we knew it wouldnÆt ║ │ │║ take long before we heard more from him. With ║ │ │║ his unending desire to create magic, he formed ║ │ │║ his new band, Operation: Mindcrime, a 7-member ║ │ │║ ensemble consisting of Geoff and his legendary ║ │ │║ vocals, John Moyer on bass, Simon Wright and ║ │ │║ Brian Tichy on drums and percussion, Kelly Gray ║ │ │║ and Scott Moughton on guitars and Randy Gane on ║ │ │║ keyboards. The combination of talent present ║ │ │║ within this band blossoms into an unreserved ║ │ │║ journey to progressive land which may, or may ║ │ │║ not, pique the interest of Queensryche fans. ║ │ │║ Fans of TateÆs solo efforts will find many ║ │ │║ similarities and the album is a standout on its ║ │ │║ own, but it also lacks much of the metal edge of ║ │ │║ TateÆs earlier work. As with the first entry of ║ │ │║ the trilogy, there are long, meandering ║ │ │║ instrumental pieces and inexplicable saxophone ║ │ │║ solos which really do not fit into a metal ║ │ │║ album. But, this is not really a metal album ║ │ │║ and should not be reviewed as such. Overall, the ║ │ │║ album has a very rich sound with layers upon ║ │ │║ layers of complexities, holding O:M steadfastly ║ │ │║ in the progressive rock genre. However, pretty ║ │ │║ much this entire album could realistically be ║ │ │║ heard on an adult contemporary/easy listening ║ │ │║ radio station. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The first single off æResurrectionÆ, ôMiles ║ │ │║ Awayö, is a cool little tune with a groovy hook ║ │ │║ and layered harmonies. It commences with some ║ │ │║ interesting sound effects and has the lofty ║ │ │║ guitar work typical of TateÆs related body of ║ │ │║ work. Everything sounds acutely produced to ║ │ │║ meticulous detail, which is something that has ║ │ │║ always worked for Tate. ôThe Fightö has a strong ║ │ │║ repeating chorus of the songÆs title making it ║ │ │║ eerily similar to prior works such as ôJet City ║ │ │║ Womanö or ôSilent Lucidityö. ôLeft For Deadö has ║ │ │║ a heavier intro but then falls back into the ║ │ │║ dreamy web spun by intricate songwriting, ║ │ │║ creative musicianship and TateÆs vocals, still ║ │ │║ amazing after all these years. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The remainder of the album has all the ║ │ │║ characteristics of TateÆs previous works, both ║ │ │║ solo and with a group. The varying elements ║ │ │║ within the songs lend a grandiose feel which is ║ │ │║ only accentuated by the distinctive sound of one ║ │ │║ of the best metal singers of all time. Tate is ║ │ │║ weaving a story musically that is far more ║ │ │║ involved than the album that shares the bandÆs ║ │ │║ name, but what would you expect from a trilogy? ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ æResurrectionÆ is a great progressive rock album ║ │ │║ which showcases the talents of each member of ║ │ │║ Operation: Mindcrime and not just its front man. ║ │ │║ Take care not to approach this as a metal album ║ │ │║ because you will be sorely disappointed. ║ │ │║ Approach this as a progressive rock album by a ║ │ │║ progressive collection of gentlemen headed by a ║ │ │║ progressive rock/metal icon and youÆll enjoy ║ │ │║ this immensely. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Resurrection [01:41] │ │ 02 - When All Falls Away [02:21] │ │ 03 - A Moment In Time [00:30] │ │ 04 - Through The Noize [01:10] │ │ 05 - Left For Dead [04:18] │ │ 06 - Miles Away [04:32] │ │ 07 - Healing My Wounds [05:21] │ │ 08 - The Fight [05:08] │ │ 09 - Taking On The World [05:33] │ │ 10 - Invincible [07:17] │ │ 11 - A Smear Campaign [06:16] │ │ 12 - Witch Side You┤re On [05:57] │ │ 13 - Into The Hands Of The World [07:03] │ │ 14 - Live From My Machine [06:02] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [63:09 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
