QUEENSRŸCHE

Release Year: 2003
Artist Origin: USA
Style: dramatic progressive melodic heavy metal

attention: this weird cover art hides the most accessible and commercially unmatched Queensrÿche album [1990] that has no negative impact on the quality of the material whatsoever - released just two years after the watermark breakthrough success of Operation: Mindcrime, Americans have reinvented themselves with song-oriented, more art rock than metal approach, maintaining melodic and dramatic character, strong choruses, disciplined rhythm section, and Geoff's vocal versatility, which allows them to reconcile progressiveness with broad appeal without abandoning ambition, using successfully mature sound and ultimately tight production, while Silent Lucidity remains one of the band's set standbys up until this very day; recent edition comes with a remastered sound, extensive liner notes in the booklet and three bonuses from singles' B sides
