MMM
After the 'Queen of the Reich' e.p. expectations were high for this debut album, but somehow, Queensryche managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of the victory that was their's for the taking! I don't really know why that is, but one massive problem here is the dreadfully 'gloomy' production. It's all just so downbeat. Where the 'QOTR' e.p. bristled with electricity, this is the production equivalent of one of those energy saving lightbulbs. Which is a shame, because there's some good material here that isn't presented in the best light. That said, if you are in the mood for it, this is a good album
