QUEENSRYCHE<\/strong> “Operation: Mindcrime” LP Rare Original 1988 EMI US First Pressing. Condition is “Used”. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. No scratches on album and the cover is in excellent condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Queensr\u00ffche\u00a0scored their breakthrough success with the ambitious concept album\u00a0Operation: Mindcrime, which tells the story of a fortune hunter whose disillusionment with Reagan-era American society leads him to join a shadowy plot to assassinate corrupt leaders. For such a detailed story line (there is also a tragic romance thrown in), the band keeps its focus remarkably well, and the music is just as ambitious, featuring a ten-minute track with orchestrations by\u00a0Michael Kamen. Those experiments don’t tend to work as well as the tighter, more melodic prog metal songs, which are frequently gems, especially the singles “Eyes of a Stranger” and “I Don’t Believe in Love.” Granted, the lyrics and political observations can sometimes be too serious and intellectual for their own good (few bands, metal or otherwise, can make lines like “There’s no raison d’\u00eatre” work). But despite the occasional flaws, it’s surprising how well\u00a0Operation: Mindcrime\u00a0does work, and it’s a testament to\u00a0Queensr\u00ffche’s creativity and talent that they can pull off a project of this magnitude.” – All Music<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
