Been after it for many years so now i finally have it
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
MY GOD this takes a lot of listening to but eventually it does click. There are couple of corkers (notably "The Hands") and a couple of shockers (last couple of tracks) but on the whole it's a relatively solid album that fans of the first one would like as long as your not expecting another miracle! I'd given up after "Empire" but as I've bought tickets for the UK tour I thought I'd better get to grips with OM II. Definately missing Chris Degarmo it does sometimes feel a bit like the Geoff Tate show as he gets carried away with himself but well worth a tenner if only to find out the conclusion to the story sixteen years later (sixty five hundred days ha ha). This is a good album but, like any other album ever made, try comparing it to Operation Mindcrime I and it's not going to come close. You can't beat perfection.Read full review
I suppose there was no way they would live up Mindcrime I but I jhad high hopes. I thought Tribe was a good album and had seen the band on all recent UK tours. MC2 however for me is let down by the mix, the vocals are hard to hear clearly and there is no separation, should've used Peter Collins again to produce. The songs are very good but there isn't a Eyes Of A Stranger or Revolution Calling or even an Empire. Nice try lads but if you were gonna do it it needed to be as good as the first or not made at all. Queensryche will still go down as one of my favourite bands both in the studio and especially live.
Bought this as i loved the original. Mindcrime 1 is still 20 years later a classic and one of my fav albums ever. The only slight saving grace for the sequel is an appearance by the ledgend Ronnie James Dio. Apart from that - utter drivel i am afraid.
Not really a good follow up to the fantastic OM 1. A good first 5 tracks, rest is forgetable. For a small price under £5, of course worth it to all fans. Wouldn't have paid £12. Time to put the whole OM saga behind them now.
