│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Since the early 80Æs, Geoff Tate has been an ║ │
│║ iconic name in progressive metal. 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. ║ │
