EMPIRE

having recorded the 2 best albums ( rage for order and operation mindcrime) of the 80s queensryche were in a difficult position. should they continue withn another concept which will surely attract more fans or write an album that comes straight from their heart? that's what they did. yes i know empire is quite catchy and it has sold million of copies. so what? who said that good albums don't sell? the album includes great songs ( another rainy night, is there anybody listening, best i can, silent lucidity, jet city woman, the thin line, empire) and just one weak monent ( resistance). i agree that is not a masterpiece but is a great album that kept their name high , compared to their lasttwo albums which were disasterpieces.
