Album Notes Queensryche: Geoff Tate (vocals, keyboards); Chris DeGarmo (acoustic 6- & 12-string acoustic guitars, electric guitar, lap steel guitar, guitar synthesizer); Michael Wilton (acoustic 6- & 12-string acoustic guitars, electric guitar); Eddie Jackson (bass); Scott Rockenfield (drums, percussion).Additional personnel: Pamela Moore (vocals).Recorded at Kajem/Victory Studios, Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. Includes liner notes by Paul Suter.The album that preceded this release, RAGE FOR ORDER, came as a surprise to some fans because of the group's appropriation of electronic sound-generating techniques. Undeterred, the band composed its most challenging work yet, the epic concept album OPERATION: MINDCRIME. Originally issued in 1988, the hard-edged album slowly worked its way up the charts and became the band's first gold-certified release (an opening slot on Def Leppard's sold-out HYSTERIA tour certainly didn't hurt, either). The story-line centers on a drug addict who falls in love with a former prostitute turned nun. Together, they uncover a dangerous underground movement and try to stop it before it's too late. OPERATION: MINDCRIME remains Queensryche's best and most consistent release--most of the tracks can be enjoyed out of the context of the storyline on the strength of their songwriting and instrumental performances. Individual standouts include the two popular MTV hits "I Don't Believe in Love" and "Eyes of a Stranger," as well as the lesser-known "Anarchy X," "Revolution Calling," the title track, "Speak," "Spreading the Disease," and the more than 10-minute long epic "Suite Sister Mary." For fans of metal with a prog-rock edge, OPERATION: MINDCRIME is definitely one of the '80's best. | |||||||||||||

From start to finish, this album never ceases to amaze. With it's complex plot, crystal clear production, faultless songwriting and world class performance. There isn't a duff moment in sight. This album has been in my top ten for 18 years and will probably stay there forever. Review ID: 10000000001547465 Was this review helpful? Report this review King of concept albums1 of 2 people found this review helpful. Operation: Mindcrime is without a doubt one of the recent musical masterpieces. It tells the story of Nikki, a directionless drug addict and the effect the mysterious Dr X has on him. Dr X's project; "Operation: Mindcrime"; a means to new world order using Nikki as his murderous pawn. Through Nikki's drugged haze, he falls for Mary, a nun used by Dr X who brings him his heroin. Mary's dark past haunts him and adds to his confusion and hatred, fueled by his love for Mary. When Nikki's phone rings, the codeword "mindcrime" spoken, he realises what he has to do. In the confusion that ensues a terrible tragedy occurs. Could Nikki be responsible? And who really is Dr X? Queensryche have produced the Operation: Mindcrime album in the shape of an modern opera. Listening to the album you feel Nikki's pain, experience the dark side of life, and learn that maybe you can't trust the people you thought you could. Although you may find the overall story little confusing and complicated, this album is a must for the ones who love progressive rock music. Review ID: 10000000000916304 Was this review helpful?
