Queensryche - Dedicated to Chaos

Right now, this is shaping up 2 be the biggest Disappointment of the year

I've only listened to it once, but one listen was all I needed.

 

Geoff should just quit the band and sell his wine and STOP dragging the rest his bandmates down.

 

I'm just venting right now, but that's how I feel.

Thank you for saving me some cash. I am done with the "Tricycle Ryche."

 

Timid toddlers could write better music than this old and tired band from Seattle.

 

In my opinion I think music releases in 2011 absolutely SUCK!

 

Besides the new Blackfield nothing gives me a hard on to write a review on here and waste your time.

 

I had to turn off the new Neal Morse and put on Iron Maiden "KILLERS!!"

 

Each year that progresses seems to regress with high quality music!

 

Looking forward to the new Van Halen album, then again I am 43.

 

Signed,

 

 

"WRATHCHILD"

Are we really discussing Lady Ga Ga on a Rush board?

Well that depends...are people still saying that good music isn't made anymore?

I heard Get Started on XM radio last week, and couldn't even listen to it for 30 seconds. It was horrible. Pure shit. I love Operation: Mindcrime (only QR album I'm familiar with), and when I heard this song I couldn't believe that this was the same band.

PJ Harvey

Eternal Tapestry

Wild Beasts

Noah & The Whale

Iron & Wine

Radiohead

 

 

There's a shitload of stuff bought, not yet listened to, from Okkervil River to Saxon to The Strokes.

 

Yeah, it's been a good 5 months or so. Very good actually.

Wow... I would have expected you to hate this one, seeing as it's so much more "pop", I guess, than either of his first two records. It's not terrible, though, even though this is basically a label-forced album, not a Lupe record.

The reason why it doesn't sound like the same band that made Mindcrime is because

since Mindcrime II there have been outside writers and Geoff simply doesn't care what

he sounds like anymore.

-Stratoviarius: Elysium (still need to check out)

Listened through it a couple of times.

I'll be honest, there are only a few Stratovarius songs that I enjoy and listen to consistently. The epic on this record wasn't enjoyable - pretty repetitive.

 

The first track, however, is just outstanding:

Wow.. Thank you for reminding me of this! trink39.gif
